I have been making a few new things just in time for Christmas!

I’ve made some lovely cushions - fabrics used are a combination of designer cottons and fabrics handprinted by me, backed with a sturdy sand canvas.

Patchwork style belts. Quality nickel military buckle and end tip to keep it secure. The belts are stiffened and stabilised with sturdy non-roll belting.

All available from my online store: www.redinstead.com.au/handmade
