One of the many facets of handmade crafts the team at reetsweet adore is the use of the old to make the new - upcycling not only makes us feel good, because it recycles raw materials, it also gives new creations an authenticity and a sense of history that you wouldn't otherwise get using the new. Especially brilliant is the use of vintage fabrics...
'Love lottie' is a Charlotte Fairclough - a new maker at reetsweet designer/maker fair - a textiles teacher by day, and a crafter by night Charlotte has had a long term obsession with loud and proud vintage/retro homewares and as a result opened an Etsy shop last August.
Always collecting vintage textiles she is now using her stash making bold home and fashion accessories...cushions, bags and a range of jewellery and other bits and bobs, including the charming collars pictures below. Catch her at the June fair on Sat 2nd June at Leeds Corn Exchange...
I love Love Lottie!!! Her collars are stunning in fact so much so that we recently had some made for us to wear in our shop, can't wait for the June fair to see some more of her gems!! Xxx
