Custom fabric makes

It suddenly occurred to me that I never shared the photos of the things I made with my custom printed Spoonflower fabric for my degree work! You can see the original post about the fabric here.

I made bunting, a bag, keyrings, fabric napkins and seat cushions with the 2 coordinating fabrics. It's a great summery fabric and the seat cushions have been out in my garden looking beautiful!

You can buy the fabrics in my Spoonflower shop (apples + stripes)

New iheartrosie product photographs

Recently I have made quite few new keyrings which now need listing on Etsy, and to list them I need some good photos of them. Good photos make all the different to how people view your products, they need to be clean and light and shot to show the product as best you can.

Most of the items shown below are listed in my Etsy shop iheartrosie, the ones that are not will be listed within the next few days, and if you want a customised piece please contact me!

Below is the floral trio, three keyrings made using Tanya Whelan 'Darla Rose' in white, blue and pink. It is also available in yellow and green.




This next keyring is made using 'Weekends' by Erin McMorris, also for Freespirit, like the Tanya Whelan fabrics above.. (I have just realised how many Freespirit fabrics I have in my collection!)



Another Tanya Whelan fabric, from her new collection, Delilah, this one is called ROSIE! I only just found out and now I love it even more than I did before!



This is a vintage fabric that I inherited when my uncle's mother died and I helped to clear out her house. She had bags and bags of lovely fabrics, some of which I have now added to my collection. I would have taken more but I just don't have the space!



Yet another Tanya Whelan fabric, this time from the 'French Hatbox' collection, I also have this in blue!



I can't actually tell you what this fabric is, I bought it from John Lewis earlier in the year but it has no markings on to tell you the name, designer or even manufacturer.. so it will remain the mysterious blue, green, purple leaf fabric!



This last fabric is another of my inherited collection, originally a pillowcase, I have upcycled it to make new products. I like to give old fabrics a new lease of life!



I have learnt from this post that I own A LOT of Tanya Whelan fabrics, but there are so many more beautiful ones out there and now I want those too! If you want to find out more about Tanya Whelan and her fabric collections for FreeSpirit, you can check out their website here!

With a little heart..

I thought I'd post a couple of other handmade goodies that I'd made but not listed on Etsy as one was made especially for a friend as a birthday present and the other especially for another friend as asked me to!

First up is the heart hanging I made for a friend for her birthday, there are 5 hearts of 2 designs on a piece of cord with a loop at the top to hang it by



Here you can see the hearts hanging down



Close up of 1st design



Close up of 2nd design



To complete the gift I can give a keying in either pattern




Second is similar as another friend saw the first creation and said 'can you make me one too!' So I set out making one for her this time using just one fabric design, again with 5 hearts and this time hanging on a piece of ribbon with a loop at the top to hang it by

Can also be teamed up with either single hanging heart or keyring in the same style

So after Christmas break I suddenly felt inspired to do some sewing, so I started sewing and making things and couldn't stop myself for about a week. I ended up having made lots of keyrings and plush hearts and decided I would start an Etsy shop to sell these.. you can view my shop iheartrosie on Etsy.

Here are a few pictures of the things I've been making and are now for sale:







It's also been really nice creating a brand and identity for the shop, below you can see the logo which I have created for my shop which is used on stickers, postcards, avatars and banners.



Now all I need is some buyers!
