I picked up this chair a few months back and re-covered it with my croft house fabric. For my first attempt at re-upholstery I think it turned out not too bad.

I hope that everyone has enjoyed a relaxing and fun filled festive break. My Festive holidays have been all about relaxing with family, catching up with friends, eating (far too much) fine food, watching Christmas telly (Christmas would not be complete without Mary Poppins and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!) and pottering away at some crafty projects. We enjoyed a happy family New Years

I've signed up to the Kids Clothes Week Challenge over on the Elsie Marley Blog, there are over 200 of us signed up. The Challenge is to spend 1 hour a night, for a week, making clothes for our kids. A great incentive to get on and do some sewing for the family I thought....or at least finish some of the many projects I've started! So to be prepared I've been looking up some patterns for

Well I had great intentions of being very productive as far as making boy clothes this month but not much of it acually happened. The month sped past, most of it seemed to be very snowy and a whole week of no nursery due to the weather cut short my crafting time. These new trousers for Alfie were the only thing I managed to make, based on Dana at Made's Knee pad pants (without the knee pads!),

Well at least I hope it has, after what seems like an endless winter of dark nights and dark mornings it can be hard to imagine that spring will ever arrive.......But it did, it was still jacket, hat and welly boot weather but it was sunny and not a gale force wind. So we spent a happy Sunday flying a kite and splashing in the sea. Fingers crossed we have many more days like this ahead of us in

I started up this Flickr group a while back and have been a bit shy about publicising it (mainly for fear that nobody would ever join it!!), but now that fabric sales have been going well I'd love to see what everybody makes with the fabrics they buy.So if any of you reading this have made something with my fabrics I'd love to see it, and I'm sure there are a lot of other out there who would like

Wow, this is a big bit exciting and a little bit scary!I was interviewed by Kerrie Allman a month or so ago and had kind of fogotten about it, but when I got the new edition of Sew Hip magazine there was my interview and huge pic pic of me and the boy!

Ages ago I said I was clearing out my workshop, getting new furniture and tidying it up. I also said I'd let you see it when it was done. I'm sure you all thought that I'd forgotten, no, its just it was still too much of a mess!

Any of you 70's/80's children remember Clothkits? I can remember the girls dresses but I especially remember the cloth dolls. I was searching through google for something or other and was super excited when I came across the Clothkits website. Go and have a look they have some great skirts, I might just have to go and buy the skirt kit designed by Rob Ryan, click here to see it (I would post

The other day I received a lovely parcel in the mail, I'd signed up to take part in the melly and me Fabric swap and was paired with a lovely lady in Australia who sent me all of this fabric (and lots more that didn't fit in the photo!): It was great to get all these fabrics from so far away and they are very different from the fabrics I have collected myself so very inspirational, I am really

My partner Mark has his own photography business and a great online shop where you can buy a huge range of prints of our native Shetland, UK and beyond. He's just launched a competition where you can win a 16 x 20 inch mounted print of any photo that appears on his website. I think its a great idea so go on have a look at his website here and enter the competition here - you might win a lovely

I can spend quite a lot of time browsing through Etsy and the Treasury is such a great feature, the combinations people put together would make great posters and its an excellent advert for peoples work. Its such a popular part of the site that in order to make your own treasury you have to be on the site at the treasury page at just the right minute when space becomes available. Now I've tried

I've been wondering what to do with all the lovely scraps of material I have stored in my cupboards and i've also been really interested in trying out badge making as I think little badges are such a cute accessory. So I bought a badge maker and after a great afternoon experimenting I came up with these which are now for sale in the PhatSheep Etsy Shop, hope they sell as I can't wait to make

Well after far too many late nights and some moderate amounts of panic I have managed to produce 4 new items for the FRESH exhibition at our local gallery. The remit was to produce items that had not been seen or sold before, initially I thought I would produce a new print, i've been working on one over the Christmas break but it was going to be too much of a rush and I didn't want to send

One of my bags is was chosen by Etsy User Gekkokamen to feature in their Treasury and its made it onto the front page of Etsy..Yay!! Its one of my Leaf Print Bags, Its a print I did a while ago and I'd pretty much decided to discontinue it......now I'm not so sure, this print has had a lot of interest on Etsy so maybe I should look into using it on some of my other homware products what do you

Anyway here are a few items that

Long time no posting, sorry! Its just been so busy lately with orders, which is obviously a great thing but hasn't left me much spare time. PhatSheep has had a great season for online sales, helped a lot by some really nice people including our products in their blogs, the most recent of this has been a really great feature by Decor8 (http://www.decor8.blogspot.com/).I'm looking forward to

I've been working on a new print based on Fair Isle patterned jumpers and cardigans, I'm really pleased with how it looks. The jumpers are all laid out in the print to look like they are drying on jumper boards. Heres a few pics:Fabric SwatchPurse

Our latest baby/toddler T-shirt design ' Fair Isle Jumper' I'm really pleased with the way they printed. I always think that seeing products being used or worn makes them much more appealing so I enlisted the help of my son to model for some product shots, it was a bit of a challenge but think it turned out ok!

I sat down to have a quick look at the internet as a break from sewing labels on scarves (I've been doing a lot of label sewing today, it gets a bit boring) I ended up lost in a world of blogs for hours(oops!). I found Kris's Colour Stripes, what a lovely blog, she creates colour swatches from things in her everyday life that inspire her, great photos and so many fantastic colours. These pics

We've been busy busy busy making up stock for trade orders and also for the Christmas Craft Fairs over the past few weeks. I finally got organised to have some product shots taken so I thought I would post up a couple of pics - I think they look quite good?I will have to get organised and get them up on the website so people can actually buy them!

We've taken the handmade pledge www.buyhandmade.org, I think its a great idea to promote the buying of unique handmade products this festive season and I'm going to try my best to stick to it. There are so many really lovely handmade products made by very clever and talented people it shouldn't be hard to do:)

Welcome to the PhatSheep Blog, I've been thinking about creating a blog for a while and now we've finally got round to doing it I hope its worthwhile.What we hope to do is to provide a place where you can find out a bit more about the creative processes involved in producing the PhatSheep products,for it to be the first place to hear any news about PhatSheep and its a bit of an opportunity for us
