Thank you so much for coming and seeing me and buying stuff @pexmas last Saturday! To say this month has been hard on my small business would be an understatement. I’ve dealt with terrible weather and cancelled markets all of which has culminated in my having one of my worst financial months of the whole year. Usually my December income carries me until end of Feb, but that ain’t gonna happen this year! So it was really nice to be at a market again where people were actually buying things and interacting with my brand again, so thank you so much if you came and for rescuing my December 🥰 #smallbusinesslondon #smallfashionbrand #sustainablefashionmovement #upcycledclothing #upcycledfashion

I’ve just put all the rest of my Christmas hair accessories on my website! AND don’t forget it’s FREE UK 24 tracked postage from now until Christmas, automatically applied at checkout 🤩 All my hair accessories I make from the offcuts from the clothes I make so I really do use every single bit to help save precious materials from landfill so you can shop guilt free 🎀

So excited gang! I’ll be @pexmas tomorrow! One of the BEST markets of the year in my opinion. There is so much to see, you can do all your Christmas shopping in one day there are soooo many small businesses to buy from it’s just epic 🤩 See you tomorrow! Copeland park, unit 8 11-6pm 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

My last mini drop of the year is on my website now 🎉 Who is going to get the gold dress!? ⭐️ All pieces are made by me from gorgeous vintage materials to help you build your sustainable wardrobe and save precious materials from landfill 🌍 All will be coming with me to @pexmas this SATURDAY so you can try on!

Coming Wednesday evening at 6pm to my website 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Made from some stunning 80s organza. I decided to leave it unlined so that you can wear it how you choose. The perfect dress for Christmas Day if you ask me 🎅

If you know a princess or are in fact one yourself, you’ll NEED ago know that this dress I upcycled from vintage gold organza is coming to my website this Wednesday ⭐️ Yes, it is sheer so you have to use your imagination a little. Leggings, top underneath or a slip dress will complete the outfit 🎀 Making a gold dress every Christmas has become a bit of a tradition for my brand with last years one going pretty fast. If it doesn’t sell online, I will have it with me @pexmas this Saturday so come and try it on! ❤️🌟❤️

Make a quilted vest with me from a men’s vintage shirt This is a long one so buckle in! I have made and shown you over 100 of these quilted vests I make since I started my sustainable, small fashion brand, but I’ve never shown you how I actually make them, so voila! ✂️🥰🎀 This new one made from a men’s vintage shirt is coming with me to @hernehillmarket this Sunday so if you prefer darker colours, this one is for you. If it remains unsold it will be on my website next Wednesday evening ⭐️

Some recent behind the scenes studio stuff ✂️ If you scroll along you will spy two new dresses which I’m hoping to get onto my website next week for a mini restock. Probably the last restock of the year! Even though it’s my worst time for trading, winter is my absolute favourite for making with so many beautiful wool, velvet and silky fabrics passing through my hands, I just bloody love it! 🥰 If you’re after festive scrunchies and hair bows, I’ll be @vennstreetmarket this Saturday and @hernehillmarket this Sunday.

November! A stunning month even though it’s not typically my best sales month of the year, there has been some highlights for sure 🥰 Double market weekend just gone, thank you if you came to either events 💕 A huge amount of festive bows and scrunchies made and also mostly gone again! Check my website for any remaining ✂️ A lot of orders posted ✉️ @clapham_makers_market earlier in the month which was a real highlight! A whole winter collection made also mostly gone now but everything is 15% off and free UK shipping until midnight tonight ONLY A matching set of a jacket and tote bag made from a vintage wool blanket. The bag is gone but the jacket will be in @solocraftfair new store on Kings Road Chelsea from this Friday A whole lot of fork pleating making the most gorgeous wool pleated kilt skirts Luv ya x

I have just put an alarming amount of hair accessories on my website today! So many cute festive ones to choose from or some cute ginghams and pastels if you’re a bit of a grinch 😂 I sell out of these so fast every Christmas and most of these are one of a kind so I really cannot replace them so be quick is my advise. Swipe along to see my new hair roses 🌹 do you love them!??!? All my hair accessories are made by me from upcycled materials so they not only look good, but they do good for the planet too! 🌍 #handmadehairaccessories #handmadehairbows #upcycledaccessories #oversizedscrunchie #giantscrunchie
