DIY SOS Makeover After Shots

If you want to catch the episode of DIY SOS featuring my wallpaper, fabrics, toys, posters and cushions, you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer (UK only).

For anyone outside the UK, visit their before and after gallery where the whole makeover can be viewed.

The room in the top photo featured my Pink Elephant wallpaper, my Daisy Chain fabric blind, some custom designed posters, and 2 patchwork elephant cushions.

The room in the bottom image featured my fabrics used to make bedspreads, cushions and a tulip blind (out of shot) and 4 of my dachshunds.

The colours looked amazing on screen and I was so, so pleased with how everything turned out (not to mention how lovely it was to make some sweet little girls very happy!)

My wallpaper can be bought here and fabric collection from the programme here

alice apple on BBC 1 tonight!

I was so excited to have been approached by the BBC's DIY SOS team last year. The programme airs tonight on BBC1 at 9pm and features a very deserving family of a father and his 6 children who sadly lost their mother after her battle with cancer.

I worked closely with their very lovely interior designer Gabrielle Blackman to help in her makeover of 2 bedrooms for 3 little girls.

As well the few toys I donated, various wallpapers and fabrics with my designs were ever so kindly printed and donated by the brilliant team at Spoonflower...I couldn't have participated without their generosity!

You can buy the fabric and wallpaper from the programme here and follow Gabrielle's twitter feed during the show here.  I'll be adding more mini dachshunds to my Etsy shop over the next couple of weeks.

Felt Collages for Kitschy Digitals

My felt collage patterns are now ready to buy and download from my Kitschy Digitals shop!

Each PDF includes a page of templates and step-by-step illustrated instuctions. It's very easy as there's barely any stitching involved, so great to make with the kids!

Here's a little preview of my next project.

It's going to be a diy kit to make your own 70s "Fuzzy Felt" style pictures to hang on your wall.  It's quite a fiddly process making the templates for each piece, so hopefully this will be available before the end of Feb...roll on Spring!

cut and sew panels coming soon...

"Retro Kitchen" stuffies...

...with a fabric wall panel cabinet to velco the utensils and pots onto!

My "70s Supermarket" will be available as a cut and sew fabric panel...

...as will my "North European Village" in 2 different colour ways.

There will be lots of cut and sew panels available to keep you busy during the cold, wet and windy days we've been suffering lately. They'll be printed onto a really lovely quality linen cotton canvas, which is far more durable than the usual quilting cotton. 

They should arrive in the next 3 weeks, I'll keep everyone posted!

Printable Model Village

My new printable kit is now available!

It's a paper toy model village for you to print and make in the style of North European architecture. It includes red roofed houses from Germany and Scandinavia and there's even a Dutch windmill with turnable sails!

It's easy to make and great for the little ones to use with their toy figures and cars. You could even cut around the doors to make them open, cut out the window panes and place the models over led tealights for a cosy nightime scene!

Available now here!
