As promised I am giving you the chance to win this scarf, handwoven by me, in time for Mother’s day on April 3rd.
This scarf is made from a mix a cotton and shiny tencel giving it an incredibly soft feel. The scarf was designed with dark pinks on one side and greys on the other in order for them to overlap when worn. A perfect Mother’s day gift (or a cheeky gift for yourself!)

Handwoven magazine now have a page on Facebook – Look here! They have just posted up some old magazine covers from when Handwoven was called Interweave (Interweave now publishes a range of magazines). The one above is my favourite – idyllic bliss.
Currently I only have one copy of Handwoven and I am looking to source more – the old copies in particular. If you can help please get in touch here! Below is another intriguing cover:
I’ve just added a few new items to my shop including this beautifully soft squared scarf and two herringbone scarves. Currently I am enjoying using a mix of cotton and tencel yarn to give an incredibly soft silky finish. I just made an order for new yarn so expect new colours soon!
I have also just completed a commissioned scarf pictured below:
Back by popular demand I’ve just added this sewing kit to my shop. Look here!
The kit is made using my handwoven fabric and felt. Inside it contains a pair of scissors, 3 safety pins, 3 needles, thread, needle threader and 3 pins. It is the perfect size for popping into a handbag or pocket – you’ll never lose a button again!
Thanks to everyone who I have met this past week at craft fairs and to all of you who have bought something from me. It has made me a very happy sole and so I’m off to buy myself a birthday treat – THANK YOU!
My shop is looking a little bare so it is the perfect time to request items for me to make – even if you simply want to let me know what colours you think I should use.. Contact me here.
Just before I go here’s a photo of my stall at Merchant Square:
Yep the time has come to get shopping – there are only 15 days left till Christmas! But don’t fear there are plenty of lovely gifts to buy and here are some places to start:
Why not pop along to Welcome Home in Partick or their wonderful pop up shop at CCA. I was there the other day and trying hard not to buy things for myself (HINT HINT).
Or pop along to The Shop of Interest who have a new blog here!
Finally and most importantly (teehee) why not come along the the Merchant Square Market this weekend? I will be there selling all sorts of handmade woven things (see the photo above) and my talented pal Carolyn Alexander is also going to be there – even more gift opportunities! It’s open 11am till 6pm on Saturday and 12pm till 6pm on Sunday. Santa’s Grotto will also be there – so do come along!
I’ve just spent the morning updating my shop with more scarves perfect for both men and women. Please take a look!
Below is a photo of one of the scarves I have added:
This is a beautiful wide scarf/shawl in a range of blues and greens. It has a complex diamond pattern and uses shiny tencel in the weft which shows up the design wonderfully. It has been finished with hand knotted 9cm tassels.
Approx 26.5cm wide X 80cm long.
Made from cotton and tencel. Handwash. £40. Buy here!
I got my sewing machine out today as I seem to have a growing pile of weaving bits and pieces that I wanted to make in to something lovely. Today I made up these cushions using several pieces of weaving sewn together for the front. I used beige fabric with a cross over panel on the back.
