Bags & Pots

March – August 2023

How to swop
Pass it on!

DESIGN YOUR OWN BAG! Let me know the word and the colour scheme you prefer.

HANDSTITCH YOUR OWN MOTIF! Send me a motif on your piece of vintage fabric. Alternatively, I can send you the “outer” which you return it with your design stitched. I’ll make up the bag and return it to you.

Bags & pots claimed or in use

Bag for Sarah Denton Rial, based on her postcard auctioned for the Oxford Hospice

Made for Rachael Barns, in response to the motif incorporated onto the back of the tote bag.

    Hey Sarah!
    These are so 😎. Yes please, can I have and carry / wear one?
    R.e.s.p.e.c.t. ☺️😎☺️
    And tell us about Be greedy! Not sure if I ´my understanding it right, but for sure, let’s be greedy as hell? Not for capital and growth 🤢🤢🤢 but for fresh air, for bees and trees and mushrooms and enough time for ourselves and each other , so we manage to remain in the zone of respect .
    We comes before I or me!!! 🤗🤗 I can only discover myself when I recognize you 🤗🤗🤗
    What can I give you ? Let’s discuss that
