Hey Hey Makers!!
I’m back from a summer sabbatical and must tell you about this trip. One of the first trips on my summer sabbatical was to London. My first purchase was this Tibetan throw in a London market. London is great for original pieces, fabrics, inspiration and unusual finds for our homes. The tibetan throw is made from Sari offcuts layered together and hand quilted by women in Kolkata, India (Population: 14.85 million!) . There it becomes Kantha quilts in this process. What an Up-cycle!
I brought it home and used a simple pattern to create two women’s jackets and childs gilet!
Specs included:
- 2 large pockets (one for phone and one for keys)
- Fully reversible
- No collar
- Autumn wardrobe staple item
All for £40 and couple hours work in my #makery
If you haven’t been Makers then add Spitalfields Market E1 to your visit list! It’s East London’s Number One Market

Looking forward to a cosy Autumn and Winter sewing and knitting.
Love Bev
