Some Of Our New Products

Just some simple lovely half aprons, hand printed in a duck egg blue and grass green. Inspiration for the prints were taken a project i made in my second year called 'time for tea' looking at old vintage china, spoons, dollies etc.
Model, my sister!

Half apron inspired from a 'make do and mend' project, with scissors, buttons and ribbons....

Becoming more unique...

we decided we wanted to become that little bit different than everybody else to give that unique touch. So we decided to create our own screens and print patterns, mine included funky fair, Daisy the Dolly & spotty dotty just a simple spot for pockets/small things, the photo above is just of our design on the print table just been printed.

Daisy the Dolly print originally came from a drawing i did from my sister's old china dolly in her room. Love this design, simple yet different.

My Very First Business Card

Before our stall i decided i wanted to design my very own business card. Previously i took a photograph of my button collection and decided to use this on the back of my card. This image developed into our Buttons Patchwork Logo which you will see on later images.

How it all started....

Me and Maria, one of my friends from college and university created Buttons Patchwork in June 2010, starting off with craft fairs around Cheshire, some large some just small Christmas fairs, then in May 2011 we decided to open our own concession store called Traders Outlet In Altrincham. Our products include children's wear, home and hand printed fabrics, Daisy the Dolly, Funky Fair, Ginger & Gorge.

Our very first stall at Gawsworth Hall, Cheshire where we met some great people and a lot of positive feedback :)
