Announcement
25% off for Australian Mother’s Day - If you buy a bag and a Mother's day card I will make it to match your bag fabric - your Mum, Grandmother, daughter grandchild, god mother or other very special person will love it - I can even gift wrap and send direct to them for only an additional $5. Choose the gift wrap option at checkout. Should you want a bigger card there are several in the shop and I can custom make them to match your bag fabric - send me a message with your order
Every card, bag and zipper pouch is made from scratch by me - I cut, stamp, stick, iron, sew and design every bag and card - I love the process and hope you enjoy the result. I hand stamp and cut each part individually - every card is carefully put together by me. I make about 4 of each card design. You can be confident the card is a rare find and very few people will have one like it anywhere in the world.
My cards are made from high-quality card stock combined with beautiful Tana Lawn cotton fabric from Liberty of London. I stabilize the fabric using quilting techniques so I can use in the card design without the fabric fraying. A stash of cards could be a gift for someone who loves sending cards - I can gift wrap in box with tissue paper, matching ribbon and tag. What a beautiful care package to send in these difficult times of isolation
The cards are made almost exclusively using the high-quality Stampin up products and stamps. The Stampin up team creates the most amazing card, ink, ribbon and pens which perfectly match the Liberty fabric in both quality and style.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful bag I will use for carrying cosmetics. Great that I can wash it, although I think a dark colour inside would suit me better, as cosmetics bags are prone to lots of marking internally. Never-the-less, very happy.

Hello and thank you very much for ypur reply and suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to write the feedback and I’ll see if I can source some darker calico to offer as an option in the future. The bags are sturdy and washable - I have washed my daughters one many times and they come up very well. Thank you again Rutb

5 out of 5 starsThis was exactly what we were looking for - a knitting bag for our daughter’s Birthday. Size and quality of workmanship is perfect. The item was exactly as per the description. Ruth was a perfect seller and when we told her what the item was for she even included a Birthday card. Love her and the knitting bag to bits!!

Frequently asked questions
Is the Liberty fabric genuine Liberty of London fabric?
Yes - the fabric used on my cards and masks, bags and zipper pouches is bought from the Liberty of London department store or from the 'Strawberry Thief' website based in Western Australia. Strawberry Thief have some amazing bespoke colourways so I recommend you check them out. The owner is very helpful. All the fabric is genuine Liberty and not a copy. There are many Liberty designs - some are classics and instantly recognisable while others are new and modern. Liberty still commissions new print designs some of which have recently been inspired by the Liberty back catalogue. I use some of the classic designs but love to use some of the new ones too especially if I can see a way to make the design pop off the card.
Are your card, mask or bag designs using Liberty fabric affiliated with Liberty of London?
No - none of my designs using Liberty fabric are not affiliated or associated with Liberty of London. If I have used a bough pattern or adapted the pattern in any way the designer is acknowledged in the description of the item
Custom and personalised orders
Yes I would love to create you a card especially for someone special in your life. Send me an idea of what you would like, maybe a photo, colour or occasion using the custom tab
I can also do event invitations. Initially I would need an idea of colour, event location and over all feel i.e. casual, formal. From there I can send you several options and a price range. I ask for a $150 for the design phase and then if you proceed this is taken off the final price. For weddings of 100 invitation or more you need to allow 6 months for the whole process if you want to send invites 6 weeks before date. Send me your initial thoughts via a custom box or via a conversation message - we can enjoy creating together.
What card do you use?
I use the high quality coordinated products manufactured by Stampin’ Up! and value their strong commitment to eco-friendly practices.
Their cardstock includes paper left over from other paper runs so the darker the cardstock color, the more recycled material it contains and their packing materials are 100% recycled material.
Paper comes from sustainably managed forests and excess rubber from the stamps is used as the ground rubber in playgrounds.
The card and colours from Stampin Up is consistently excellent quality and they go very well with the Liberty fabric. It is important to me that I can source very good quality card that compliments the amazing Liberty Fabric designs I use
Why do I love working and designing with Liberty Fabric?
I love dress making and soft furnishing but when I came to Australia in 2002 I had brought my Liberty fabric stash with me so I decided to combine my two loves - paper craft cards and Liberty fabric. I have been using the fabric in my designs for many years now but have needed to buy more fabric!
Liberty fabric is consistently high quality - it elevates any creation to something special
Now I am doing more sewing than card making!! Mainly due to the success of my masks but also the lovely tote bags and zipper pouches I have enjoyed creating. Many Liberty designs have art deco as their inspiration. The art deco philosophy of well made beautiful every day objects means denim is a perfect fabric to pair with Liberty.
Care instructions
The bags should be washed by hand in a gentle wash with warm water. The masks can be washed in a standard washing machine 30 degrees and I recommend a quick iron to ensure perfectly germ free
