A generous sized woman's scarf, in warm tones of chocolate. Lightweight mannish wool suiting, silk embroidery and Indian handmade beaded flowers. Yin and yang. Serious and flirty.
I'll be setting up shop with some scarves, some jewellery... and maybe later some kilts. It may not be the ideal time ask people to buy high end handmade goods, but these ideas have been bubbling away for a while and with my new sewing machine it all becomes possible. Handmade has become more and more sought after in the past few years, in this mass produced high tech world. But most of all I'm having fun, and that's as important as the $$$s really.

Actually I kind of had half of an idea about wanting a kilt after I saw yours (something in scarlet and black maybe)... and not that I really have anywhere to wear one... hehe
By the way, the scarf is lovely! Will you be doing requests or just making whatever you feel like and selling that?
In the short term I'll be making whatever and seeing if it sells. My original idea was to make kilts, which I still plan on doing. The only downside to that is getting the pricing right, because they are a lot of work.
Lovely scarf.
I'm inspired - now that I'm about to be a person of leisure.
Oh yessssss... that scarf. Unleashing your colour sense and mad finishing skillz onto the mundane world? Score.
good luck! Your work is, as always, beautiful.
And knitted things? Please say you'll do knitted things?
'Trefoil, you should definitely put your skills to good use!
Toasty, thanks for the big ups! I finished it this afternoon, and I'm really pleased with it.
Jason, thanks matey!
Kt, the only problem with knitting is the slowness of the process to make a finished item. It's kind of hard to recoup money for your time, if that's what your aiming for. However I haven't ruled it out... or the possibility of selling patterns.
OOh! Can't wait!
Having seen the scarf this afternoon in real life...the fabric is beautiful and the stitching and flash beads flowers just right for the elegance of the fabric. I'll keep a watch on your shop.
Wow gorgeous stuff! As for the knitting....do what everyone else does and set up a factory in Bali! hehe!
Can't wait to see more! Lx
