Arabella's Attic


Coin purse: circus hot air balloon - £7.00

Arabella’s Attic is a small family project based in South East England. We design and hand craft accessories such as tote bags, coin purses, cosmetic bags, hand bags and jewellery, and also make cards based on our own artwork. We love all things retro and vintage, and this is reflected in the items that we make. Above all, we love producing one off pieces that are affordable, and that can be treasured and enjoyed. We hope you enjoy exploring our attic.



Created in Cloth - Cards




At Created In Cloth you will find two types of cards. The traditonal cards come with an envelope and are made from card with a cloth embroidered picture. The PostCards are again made from Cloth with a stiffened middle layer so they look just like a traditonal postcard. These are quite the rage in sewing swaps in America. They go through the post with a self-adhesive stamp - just write the address and message in ballpoint pen and pop into the post.



Acacia Crafts



Welcome to Acacia Crafts, a little boutique shop where you will be able to find lots of little gifts for all the family. From useful everyday items like ribbon lanyard for the office, to cute little critter memo pegs to pin important notes to your fridge, or pretty bow hairbands for little girls (and their mums too!)... something for one and all!

No.5 - More CRAFTfest stall previews from purple group


Some more fantastic stalls from purple group

Woolly Pig Designs




I am a stay at home Mum of a five year old boy and I make handknitted toys, baby blankets and decorations. I started knitting again a few years ago, selling some of my things in a local market. I have only recently started Woolly Pig Designs, setting up a website and Facebook page. I love making things for children, creating colourful new characters and using different colour combinations. I can knit any of my pieces to order in your colour choices and can personalise some items with names etc. Items are made in a pet-free and smoke-free environment and are child friendly and mostly machine-washable.

MinXtures - Cards



I work from my Hampshire home, dressmaking and sewing everything from clothes to cards. I enjoy the whole process from designing the patterns to adding the finishing touches. Nearly everything I make is useful or practical too! I particularly enjoy making children's items, personalised PE bags being my best selling item. Custom orders are always welcome!



Serenity Potions

Aromatherapy scented Purple Rose Brooch infused with Lavender oil.

After years of using Aromatherapy on myself and family, I decided to take the plunge and I became a qualified Aromatherapist in 2011. I also love stitching, so I looked for a way to blend these two loves together. In October 2011 Serenity Potions was born, hand created gifts, enhanced with uniquely blended aromatherapy oils. In 2012 I started my Crystal Healing course and added Crystals to the range, which help enhance the effects of the oils as well as bring their own properties to the product.


Inkyprints Originals

Books on show Inkyprints

Hand-printed fine art stationery with a folk-art feel. Inkyprints-Originals uses high quality recycled paper and card together with the finest handmade Japanese Washi to create beautiful and practical gifts for you and your home. Hand-printed notebooks, journals, general stationery and art-flag bunting - all with original artwork, hand-carved by printmaker Fiona Humphrey of Inkyprints-Originals.




Created in Cloth - Baby and Child




Created in Cloth was born from a desire to make good quality items that are unusual, practical & a pleasure to own and receive at affordable prices. So often now things are mass produced and one cannot be identified from the next, here at Created in Cloth I make each item individually with love and care. Some of my items can be customised with names, dates or colours to personalise, making them a treasured item or a wonderful gift.

Meet the next 10 Talented Artists Joining the online CRAFTfest extravaganza in September 2012 (TEAL Group Blog Post 2)

The Old Button
by Sharon Lloyd
 
I make an eclectic mix of high quality hand crafted items for children and the home, combining two of my
passions - creating new designs and a thrifty use of materials. I like to use both new and recycled fabrics including 100% cotton, silk and linen mixtures
together with scraps from my ever expanding hamper of interesting fabrics that is constantly topped up by my friends and family.
As I love the design aspect of creating, I am always coming up with new ideas for products and only make a limited number. Often items are unique, as I love playing with fabric and colour combinations, and adding different trims. And of course, I try and incorporate a old button or two into each item I make.

Ellorias Boutique

by Shannan and Jacqueline Inglis
 
Ellorias Boutique is the story of Jacqueline and Shannan, mother and daughter, designers, writer,

We create experimental yet wearable collections of handcrafted one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces, that reference the renaissance and art deco periods and bring a modern edge to vintage style. We’re both spurred on by colour, pattern and surface
texture and use a combination of muted and bright palettes to converge and radiate our aesthetic desires.
