Apron customized

Its that time again when I get out my fabric that once had a different use  & make it in to something else. 
A while ago a good friend of mine had some fabric chair covers, which I took apart & I used the fabric to make some tote bags, which I featured on my blog earlier this year.

I had a piece of fabric left, so I decided to make an apron for Allison to wear in her new kitchen.
I did seams in the side panels which is okay, but the seam across the waist I didn't want to see (too many joins). 

I found some satin ribbon so I decided to attach it, to hide the waist seam.   I also added the ribbon to the pocket edge.   It looked so nice; I decided to then use it for the neck & waist ties.    Its 25mm wide which is a good width, & it keeps it all flowing beautifully.

Gift Set

I was asked to put together a gift for my friend's niece, Imogen.   I know she believes in fairys and as she gets older the tooth fairy will be paying a visit.   How we hate our kid's teeth falling out; I know, but it"s inevitable, it will happen.

I decided to make a pillow she could hang on the bottom of her bed or on the door handle of her bedroom.

A little heart pocket would be nice place for the tooth to be put, and has plenty of room for the coins to be left in, or a little gift depending on which tooth fairy is visiting.

The Rattledoll and the drawstring bag are both Maison Chic, which are gorgeous accessories for any girls bedroom. 

Please contact me at the Feathered Nest for any custom, or gifting, orders for pillows 

Happy Birthday Imogen, enjoy your gift!

Sexy dress into stylish bag



My good friend Allison & Director of  The Fig & Willow design group decided she didn't like this red dress anymore & asked me to make a bag out of it for her.

I could have cried as she looked stunning in it, I didn't want to hack into it, but Allison is so determined  she appeared on my doorstep with dress all unpicked.

Once over the shock, I got to work deciding what style I could achieve and now it's completed I love it. I'm currently working on a mini one with the left over pieces for her daughter Romi. How cute will they look when they go out together with matching bag's! 

If you have any dresses or fabric you have no idear what to do with  I would be happy to help
E-mail me your requirements info@the featherednest.com.au

This cushion is white satin lined with a sheer fabric that has that bridal baroque look, wrapped with an organza ribbon.

Denim style Cushion


I had been given some old denim jeans a while ago all in good condition, I love it when they have that slight worn look, I finally got chance the other day to cut them all up (as you do!!) 

So I made this Pillow for my friends son who I know will love it. I monogramed his initials on the pocket so he can definitely say this is mine hand off!! 

My own Son wanted to keep it so it looks like I will be kept busy.

Vintage Handbag


Barbara from the UK had a bag which she loved dearly, it was falling apart so she asked me to create a new one with some vintage looking fabric.
I was sent the bag which I cut up and recreated for her, it is on its way to the UK as I type.
I might just have to make one for myself with the gorgeous fabric that is on its way from the USA.
