Never going to get tired of black Queenie's. These beauties are already in the post and winging their way to Switzerland. I also have this style in black, they just go with everything. My Fairysteps collection includes: Black Queenie. Red Clara. Honey Arrietty. Brew Bobbins. Chocolate Tulips (archive style). Damson Hook (archive style which the new Loom are based on). Mimi slides which I mainly use as house shoes. I would love a pair of burnt toffee Clara. I used to have some dark brown ones which I loved dearly but about 10 years ago they went missing and I never found them :( It's very silly of me really, I must make a new pair! I think mid browns are incredibly versatile for footwear. Especially for Autumn toned wardrobes. Another day begins in Fairysteps land... time to head into the workshop for me. Have a good one my dears, Ren x Shop link in bio >> #fairysteps #faerysteps #shoemaker #bootmaker #handmadeshoes #fairyshoes #fairyboots #fairyshoemaker #fairytale #folkstyle #cottagecore #barefootshoes #nevergrowup #loveyourfeet #limitededition #smallbusiness #slowmaking #shoes #happiness #lovemylife https://www.instagram.com/p/ChEfcINIl7v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love making but not so keen on fixing, hence I completely avoid it unless I have to. But, seeing as I believe environmental activism is a big part of my making, using as much reused, recycled, up-cycled materials as I can in my projects, It's about time I started darning the socks I enjoy wearing when they wear out! This is my first bit at darning, inspired by so many good people out there. (And a great activity to do when you're full of cold and can't be bothered to do much else!!) ... #darning #darningsocks #socks #mending #mendingmatters #craft #craftivism #craftivist #reducereuserecycle #savetheplanet #sustainableliving #environmentallyconscious #environmentallyfriendly #environmentalactivism #sockwool #slowcrafting #slowmaking #savethecheerleadersavetheworld #art #artist #communityartist #textiles #textileart #textileartist #fullofcold https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKCMKJM7bJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Love this woman! What a day, what a turn out. Totally blown away by the love, I’m home now with empty boxes and a big smile on my face. Thank you to everyone that came along and took a little something home with you. It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen you all, chatted about life and shared what we’ve been making in our studios. Mia @ruby_raisin_ and I had such a wonderful day, our hearts are full. #youreallydidshoplocal #slowmaking #handmade #marrickville #tradethemark#rubyraisin https://www.instagram.com/p/CWNajT5P-Us/?utm_medium=tumblr

It didn’t occur to me at first to share this in the queue of giveaways, but that’s exactly what it is — today I mailed a copy of my book, “Sustainable Fashion”, along with a prototype of the bookmark I’m in the process of designing to go with it, to a dear friend and mentor I met when she was my professor at the Rhode Island School of Design. I’m struggling to get a good match on the magenta-pink from the book title, as you can see… I’m also thinking about recreating the bookmark in a series of slides for social media. The information is important and I want to share it widely. Plus the book is full of awesome and fun art, if I do say so myself. (More images in the shop on my web site.) Also half the profits are going to organizations fighting for the values listed in my Sustainable Fashion Manifesto: • Celebrate and defend clothing makers • Treasure, mend, and preserve well-made garments from natural fibers • Reject oppressive ideas about correct appearance • Reject polluting processes and products • Reclaim fashion as an art form open to everyone . . . #sustainablefashion #fastfashion #manifesto #whomademyclothes #makersmovement #mend #visiblemending #slowfashion #slowmaking #repair #mend #fashionstyle #fashionrevolution #creativefashion #collageart #fashiondesign #fashionart #endhumantrafficking #empowerment #empowerwomen #empower #fastfashionsucks #slowfashion #circulareconomyfashion #textileindustry #fashioninnovation #fashion #changemaking #payup #ethicalfashion #circularfashion #sustainability https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ2A4venQvb/?igshid=1911kjtyoiesw

Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.

*Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Guardian Angle, 1867

Mum was a making genius. Not only was her imagination incredible, she also had a special talent for bringing these ideas to life. From home sewn school dresses to mathematically correct Egyptian pyramids, fairy castle birthday cakes and all that’s in between. Craft was her thang. She was particularly talented at sewing and was determined to pass on her skills. At the tender age of 5, mum walked me down into the village to visit an antiques shop. She’d had her eye on a vintage hand turn sewing machine. Mum made a solid £10 investment and I started to make my own clothes, bags and dolls outfits. I was addicted to sewing.

Alongside all the other mountains of wisdom mum imparted, were some serious rules and regs when it came to textiles. Here are some key making mantras to consider:

- Tidy up FIRST Yeh, I know right? Why would you tidy up when all hell is about to break loose in your dining room?! I’ll tell ya why – Making should be a calm, fun activity. Imagine the stress of being halfway through a tricky seam and discovering that you’ve lost your pins! Stay calm, enjoy your craft and keep things tidy.

- Scissors on the table When cutting fabric, keep your scissors on the table. Waving your blades around in the air makes for dodgy curves and even dodgier sewing!

- Trace your patterns You’ve just bought a brand new pattern for that timeless shift dress. Don’t chop it up! Trace it off and use the pattern again and again, or pass it on to pals. Sharing’s caring.

- Match your threads Sewing up a grey tote bag with white thread isn’t going to look too hot, especially if your new to this sewing thing and your seams are on the wonk. Avoid future disappointment and cover up those “whoops!” moments with perfectly matching threads.

- Pre-wash your fabric Wash that lovely linen or perfect cotton before you cut out your project. This allows for fabric shrinkage and side step that awful moment when you put your garm back on after a wash and you feel like that pizza at the weekend was a bad idea. Pizza is always a good idea.

- PRESS PRESS PRESS No, seriously. Pressing your project at every stage will make your pattern pieces fit together better and your seams neater. Sometimes ironing does the job of pinning too, so it can save so much time.

“This is all very good advice, but why should I listen to my mum, she can’t sew?” I hear you cry!

Everyone’s mum has something special to pass on. It might be the recipe for her famous blueberry pancakes, or how to fold a fitted sheet (no really, any help on that one is appreciated). You never know when you’ll need those nuggets of gold! So take my advice, sit down with your mum this Mother’s Day, or give her a call, and ask for some wisdom. I bet you she’ll be chuffed to share it with you.

Slowly working on getting a bisque kiln filled. Hate running the kiln half empty. Will be “out of office” for a bit in a couple weeks so hopefully can get a few more things made so I have pots to decorate. . . . #pottersofinstagram #ceramics #ceramicsofinstagram #potteryofinstagram #stoneware #clay #pottery #ceramics #slowmaker #makersofinstagram #maker #zephyrvalleypottery #zephyrvalleyceramics #handmade #montanapotter #montanaclay (at Montana City, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBaabgv5gi/?utm_medium=tumblr
