Hello everyone.
My lack of updating this website is due to such a busy year in the Dining Room Sewing Studio.
I dusted myself down to do an Event last Thurs eve, a Festive Market, at the University of Nottingham Orchard Hotel.
Have had lots of Commissions and stock to make for my stockists and lots of new things to explore for next year.
I have stopped sewing now till the New Year, when i will then restart and be making Bag Commissions and new Velvet Purses and Bags to go up to Staacks in the Wirral.
Latest Makes are always on my business Facebook page, under my name Janine McShane
2019 has seen my Nottingham stockist, Focus Gallery close at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year the Suki Gallery in Tutbury is also closing after Xmas. However, when one door closes another always opens. Lots of new things to explore are in the pipeline, so i will be as busy as ever in 2020.
Branching out to the North West, Velvet Purses are currently on route to a new stockist for me this year to Staacks, 83 Banks Road, West Kirby, Wirral, CH48 ORA
Tweed Purses and Bags to follow in the Autumn.
The last weekend in June, i will be exhibiting at The Wymeswold Open Gardens, (24th and 25th) Leics. Sat and Sun afternoons, 2 till 6pm. I will be taking along newly made Bags, Tweed and Silk Flower Brooches, Purses and New for this year, Trinket Necklaces, made using upcycyled beads on chains and silk ribbons.
A few pics of newly made Tweed Flower Brooches for Spring, in Harris Tweed, Irish Donegal Tweed and Welsh Tweed fabrics. Currently working on commissions, new makes for my stockists, various projects and new makes for this years events, tba.
A busy Autumn and Winter of Making to finish off another hectic year at Bag HQ.
October saw me featured as Artist of the month at Focus Gallery in Nottingham.
A couple of my Makes are also being featured in the window display at Waterstones in Nottingham to advertise the Craft Fairs taking place there every weekend in Dec.
New Bags, Tweed Flower Brooches and Buttoned Purses have been made and are now at my stockists.
Currently working on Xmas orders and pondering and planning for 2017. A new product is being designed and developed and thinking about getting on the road and doing an event or two in 2017.
One of my stockists is now sadly closing at the end of the month, they have been selling my Makes for 3 years, but have decided to concentrate on Fairs and online, a sign of the times. Please remember to buy your Xmas gifts from independent shops, every sale counts.
The beginning of July New Bags, Tweed Flower Brooches and Purses have been made and delivered to my stockists. See example pics above.
Leather flap Bags newly made, and being delivered to various shops over the next couple of weeks. More photos to follow.
