Vintage Floral 'Ombre' Bunting : Entered into the Shop Contemporary Handmade 'Make it Work Challenge'.

Vintage Floral 'Ombre' Bunting :

I have just entered my Metro Retro Apron - 'Grand Prix Racing' Tea Towel MENS Apron into the Shop Contemporary Handmade 'Make it Work Challenge'.

While I have made many vintage floral fabric buntings in the past I have never made a floral 'Ombre Bunting'.
This week over at shop contemporary handmade is the Make it Work Challenge - Week 4.

This week, designers were asked to create something 'for home' with the theme being ombre.
Ombre is the latest trend that has been sweeping the nation.


Some great entries this week.
I'm happy with the end result of  this sixteen (16) flag bunting in various 'yellow toned' vintage retro preloved fabrics and is one of a kind (OOAK).

Vote for me!

Metro Retro MENS Apron - Grand Prix Racing : Entered into the Shop Contemporary Handmade 'Make it Work Challenge'.

I have just entered my Metro Retro Apron - 'Grand Prix Racing' Tea Towel MENS Apron into the Shop Contemporary Handmade 'Make it Work Challenge'.

Actually I have never made a 'mens' apron before but I thought I'd give it a go.
This week over at shop contemporary handmade is the Make it Work Challenge - Week 3.

This week designers were asked to create something 'for him' with the theme being upcycled or recycled.

Well, there are many great entries this week.
No, I do not expect to win. It's just simply fun to join in with the submissions ... but for me it's great to get some exposure for my brand.
I'm loving all the colour in this apron, really cheerful & vibrant - you certainly would not go unnoticed in this one! And... it's super cute!
Vrrrmmmm Vrrrmmmm ;)
