I am a textile artist working in the UK. Taking vintage fabrics, recycled clothes & costume jewellery, I apply the traditional techniques of patchwork, quilting, appliqué & embroidery to create unique pieces of contemporary textile art. Keepsakes for everyday use – quilts, cushions, bags and accessories.
Magpies Laundry connects the past, when textiles were expensive and treasured, with today’s sustainable sensibilities. Reclaimed, refashioned and repurposed, Magpies Laundry gives that ethos a contemporary, relevant twist.
There are so many memories caught up in garments – from that collection of baby clothes you couldn’t bear to part with, to your wedding dress still in its cover hanging forlorn in the wardrobe, to the gorgeous pullover with a tiny hole that you still love. Too precious to throw away, they wait, hidden away in boxes and cupboards, neglected and unloved ….
Let Magpie’s Laundry set those wonderful memories free
“Have nothing in your home you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful”
- William Morris -
Transform those hidden treasures into beautiful objects that you will be proud to see in your home, that you will be delighted to use, and that will give you pleasure every time you see them – every day.
Let them shine
Unique, handmade, decorative designs from your precious textiles
Magpies Laundry
I am happy to take on commissions – creating a unique piece for you from your own store of precious fabric – be it your baby’s clothes, your wedding dress, evening dresses, granny’s old linen or even old suits! Alternatively, I can create anything from my range as a bespoke order in particular colours or fabrics as required. Please contact me for more information.
