Leafy Corsages

Copyright Little Red 2009

Taking inspiration from the wonderful Cordyline which flowered in our garden over the Summer, i have made some delicate leather leafy corsages. They are all handmade and feature punchwork detailing. Each one is unique and no two will ever be the same. You can purchase these scrummy delights on the Little Red Boutique.
I'm love to hear your comments on the corsages :-)

Bee & Flower Hipster Bag

I finished a lovely commission a few weeks ago. I as far as I am aware the luckly birthday lady has now received the bag, so I can now show you the images of it.

It was a leather Hipster bag which was redesigned by the client to feature a flower & bee motif. Bag is lined with sunshine yellow satin and has an internal mobile phone pocket. It also has the customer's inital 'N' appliqued on the back on the bag.

I loved making it & I hope you like it too...

New Lovely Yummy Bag

I have been sewing away and making my new collection. I have just added my new red leather Tanya Bag to my online boutique. Here is a sneaky peak at it... I have improved the design of the original Tanya Bag; so i hope you will all love it. I can't wait to make one for myself.

I have just had a commission for a black one! How lovely!

As always, any comments are always welcomed :-)

Distractions

Hey, just discovered a fun range of distracting things on the V&A Museum website. I especially love their 'Design a textile' ... Hours of fun when you should be doing other things!

This is the textile I designed; when I should have been working on designing my new collection (oops!)
