Emma Makes is the brainchild of Emma McCleary, print and vintage textile lover and another of our fantastic March sponsors – aren’t we lucky? From her home Studio in Featherston, Emma designs and hand crafts all of her creations from start to finish, putting her fine arts degree to good use.
We first discovered Emma at the very beginning of The Bread and Butter Letter, when we saw her Witty Pencils and Roman Sandal Notebooks at Kraft Bomb. It was love at first sight and we knew straight away we had to sell them in store. Immediately.
After talking to Emma we soon discovered her skills went far beyond making fantastic stationary. Like us, Emma has a passion for vintage textiles and has utilised this passion, along with her killer sewing skills, to make gorgeous bags, purses and toys.
Emma is forever thinking of new and inventive ways to produce wonderful vintage inspired designs and, with the cooler weather soon to be setting in Emma Makes has some new products available, especially designed to warm the cockles of your heart.
WOOL PIXIE BAGS
Made from vintage New Zealand Wool Blankets and lined with adorable vintage fabric these reversible bags are the perfect size for everyday use, they even have a sweet little pocket inside to hold your cellphone and keys!
FROG WHEAT BAGS
We love wheat bags, not only do they help soothe all those aches and pains but they are great for a cuddle on a cold winter night! The heart shaped felt patches are a little detail Emma added to absorb essential oils. Very essential!
POCKET PURSES
Emma Makes’ latest purse design. You cant go wrong with a purse that easily fits into your handbag, especially when its made from vintage fabric! We are loving the semi-circular shape and the ric-rac is an adorable addition.
All of these products and many many more all available from the Emma Makes’ Felt store. Be sure to keep an eye on the Emma Makes website to see when Emma will be hitting a craft market near you, her stall is a must see!
