So clearly this is the 13th day of March - but I've been a little busy 😉. So here is day 10 of #marchmeetthemaker relax! I have less time these days, but I like to sew my own wardrobe as a way to wind down and chill and and obviously a cheaper way to achieve the style I like! Mostly i copy a garment I already have for perfect fit and make some adaptations to make it my own. From my socks to special dress for special occasion. * * * * * * * * #relax #homesewing #diy #selftaughtsewing #youtubetaughtme #diystyle #sewing #makersgonnamake #conciousliving #conciousstyle #diysocks #imadethis #instacraft

Hello 🖐🏾 day 9 #marchmeetthemaker is how it's made. If you follow my stories you will have of seen the different ways I make my leather products which is a mixture of traditional and modern techniques. In this video I feature the carry all purse which has a internal pocket to separate cards. Techniques include hand cutting, riveting, hand stitching, also known in the leather world as saddle stitching (the strongest stitch eveeeeer)! and two laser etched designs courtesy of the talented illustrator @beccaerulccm Enjoy! #studionelle #leathermade #howitsmade #slowcraft #illustration #handrawn #laseretching #troteclaser #southlondonmakerspace #makersgonnamake #imake #diy #selftaughtartist #craftwell #leatherpurse #handstitch #saddlestitch #stitchingpony #londonmakers #etsyseller

Last weekend I set up shop @kingscrossn1c and despite the -1 conditions I was still able to find feeling in my fingers to offer free personalisation on all purchases made! Like this birthday present 🎁from father to daughter! A massive thank you to the #canopymarket team for selecting me to take part in the beautifully curated and community oriented market. A special shout out to my neighbour @kinandcloth for making me feel so welcome and for the little tips along the weekend and @indielabelmkt for keeping those jams flowing 😉. Can't wait to do it all over again next month 30th March - 1st April. Hopefully see you there! * * * * * * #leathercraft #personalisation #soloentreprenur #femalemakers #craftwomanship #canopymarket #kingscrossn1c #independentlabel #wintermarket #slowfashion #accessories #reclaimed #monogram #simplicity #leatherpurse #giftsforher #gifts

So it's done! A cute little envelope wallet small enough not to take up too much room in your bag, big enough for some coins, cash cards and even some citrine crystal. Homework: go check out why you should have some citrine in your purse! So confession, I totally winged this, using a cute envelope I had lying around. What do you think? Yay or Nah? You think it should have a matching clutch 🤔 #leatherpurse #minimalism #citrine #alchemy #leatherclutch #selftaught #theethnology #reclaimed #maker #matching #leatherwallet #leathergoods #diy

Wishing you all a happy holidays drink, eat and be merry. #leatherworkshops #2018 #whatsonlondon #leathercraft #accessories #fashion #theethnology  #mindfullness #making #makersmovement

Leathercraft workshops coming Jan 2018 at Somerset House, Strand. Read on to find out why they make the perfect gift for someone who needs spoiling this Xmas. So you may not know I started running craft workshops 10 years ago. A safe place for people come along, learn a new skill, eat some homemade bakes and unlimited tea and coffee. Little did I know the therapeutic benefits I would witness, participants also people at risk of homelessness and experiencing life crises affecting their mental health and wellbeing. The transformation of these people was phenomenal. Even more surprising some years on was the therapeutic benefits I would experience when dealing with my own life adversities. From money woes to breakdowns in relationships. Each workshop is designed for each participant to leave with a high-quality product that has been handmade by you! Studies have shown that making with your hands can help those suffering from anxiety, depression or chronic pain such as arthritis. Make 2018 all about you and your self-care! Click the link in the bio to book a place on my next leathercraft workshop the perfect way to start the new year. Session 1 make a magic leather braided bracelet. * * * * * #selfcare #leathercraft #workshop #wellbeing #whatsonlondon #somersethouse #makerversity #theethnology (at Somerset House)
