Taking my time over this one!

 
Hand sewn top-stitching and appliqué – eco dyed circles, silk thread and wool remnants. Another addition to my eco fashion range @gonerustic …

Something to cling to …

 

when I was a child

my mother’s skirt was

something to cling to

reassurance hidden

in its folds encompassing

someone who made our

everyday routine into an

act of love and sacrifice

elevating the mundane

to something precious

something I still cling to

now she’s gone …

Thinking of entering this in Remade 2016. Still need to make a jacket and a shirt to go with it!

Memories of my mother’s button collection.

 
Work in progress: ‘my mother’s skirt’, part 6.

My mother’s skirt, nos. 3 and 4

 
Big day (big week actually) – but slow stitching keeps me grounded.

My mother’s skirt, no. 3 (in progress)

 
Even though I have other projects on the go, this one is really grabbing my attention!
