Life is better with friends.

I've been doing a lot of paper cutting recently in preparation for my next craft fair. It's a new technique to me but I am really enjoying getting to grips with it! This is my friendship themed design containing the phrase 'life is better with friends'. I have also created a reusable canvas shopping bag inspired by the hand cut papercut which is now on sale at Pocket Wren. You can even choose what colour you would like!

I've definitely been bitten by the paper cutting bug so keep your eyes peeled for more designs arriving at Pocket Wren soon!

New bird themed bag designs.

I've been working on some new bird themed bag designs for my cotton tote range at Pocket Wren. The designs are ready, now all I need to do is turn them into bags and get them into my shop.

They should be available to buy soon. Keep an eye out for them making an appearance at Pocket Wren!

Another bag complete! Both this tote bag and my 'Shop till you drop' design are now available to purchase at Pocket Wren, my online Etsy store. They are both available in a choice of three colours, purple, green or blue.

The perfect gift for the environmentally minded shopper!

 I hope to add more designs to the range soon. If you have any slogans or phrases that you would like to see on a bag let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Shop till you drop canvas shopping bag.

This weekend's new project has been designing and making bags. My new inkjet transfer paper arrived the other day and I've been having some fun messing around with it. So far I am quite pleased with the results. I'm still working on the ironing timings, so I get the images just right, but hopefully practise make perfect. 

This 'shop till you drop' design is the one I have been working on today. The image above is the original design before it has been reversed for the transfer process. 

Below are some images of the finished canvas bag. It's only my second attempt but I shall be proudly sporting it on my weekly shop from now on!

 Look out for designs like these appearing in my Etsy shop soon!
