THE OLD FARM HOUSE
Garment Collection
Playing with ideas of recycling and sustainability, in this collection the bird top and house skirt holds the patterns to make 3 dimensional objects, whilst the bottom two dresses are reversible with a different design on each side.
Garden Birds
As part of The Old Farmhouse collection I created a range of hand embroidered fabric birds. This collection continues to grow and more can be seen and purchased by clicking here.
Floral Project
Inspired by the beauty of summer flowers and vintage fabrics, for this project I produced a range of floral designs and 3D fabric pieces. Printed fabric was stiffened, burnt around the edges and heavily embroidered to create flowers with a rustic, natural look.
