Last year when I was in Rwanda, I bought a lot of fabric... like A LOT! It was really stressful buying it from the market, mostly because there was so much choice and because I'm terrible at haggling a good price! I love the vibrant colours and prints. Some of the fabrics I saw in the market were crazy - massive repeat patterns of handbags or cakes, swirls of colours, all jammed into a small stand. I've loved being able to use the fabric I bought for various projects. I've made quite a few things, but still have so much fabric left... anyone got any requests?!

go with her toy kitchen - very cute.

Hi Katie,
Lovely things! I can see why you were tempted to bring back so much material from Rwanda.
This is the first time I've seen your work, tho seems to go way back. Thanks - it's very impressive!

Thanks Linda! I started this blog when I was in my final year at Art school in 2010, but stopped doing it for quite a while. It's been good to restart it though. Hope you're doing well. Katie
the idea of making your own bunting sounds good katie, and the other different items you have made are all professional looking, well done
