Teal satin scarf

 I designed this print for my Spoonflower shop and decided to have it printed onto a satin fabric which gives the design a beautifully rich feel, perfect for making into decorative scarves.

This scarf makes a great gift for a loved one and comes gift wrapped in pink tissue paper. It can be sent directly to its recipient with an optional gift message included.

Use it as a scarf around the neck, drape it around the shoulders or use it as a headscarf.

You can also buy this print on a variety of fabrics or as ready-made items in my Spoonflower shop.

Cactus cosmetic bag

Another great gift idea for Mother's Day is this roomy cotton pouch which comes in a fab multi colour cactus print.

The pouch is perfect for using as a travel bag to store all the essentials for a trip away. It can also be used as a cosmetics bag, or as a pouch to store gadgets and chargers.

The bag is lightly padded to protect what's inside and has a green lining and zipper closure to keep your items safe.

Mother's Day gift ideas

Mother's Day is fast approaching (31st March in the UK) and I'm always thinking of new ideas for Mother's Day gifts in my store. When I went to the Knitting and Stitching show on Sunday, I picked up some rather scrumptious Chinese satin damask fabric and thought it would make the perfect fabric for one of my clutch bags. I love these fabrics as the colours are so vibrant and they sit next to my kimono fabrics rather nicely!

I gravitated towards the butterfly motif which is a symbol of long life in China, as well as representing young, undying love. If two butterflies are seen flying together they are regarded as the perfect emblem of love.

The fabric will be made up into clutch bags rather like the one below.

I love the vibrant pink of this clutch bag and used a lovely turquoise lining to contrast with the outer fabric.

Each clutch bag has a detachable chain strap that can be removed or simply tucked inside the bag.

The clutch is big enough to fit all the essentials for a night out and makes the perfect gift for Mother's Day.
