Buy British Month

Well it's that time of year again; Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a month filled with super products, bargains and one-off items from British Work at Home Mums.

This year I've mainly focussed on hand-dyed yarn & clothing, though I'm hoping to add some jewellery before the end too.

My first item was this appliqued top and yarn. I dyed the yarn and have to admit it was a bit of an experiment. I dyed it in the slow cooker by pouring 4 colours of dye into each corner of the slow cooker and allowing it to mix as it wished. I then spotted the fabric while shopping and thought it matched perfectly.


I've also added lots of hand-dyed yarn.






I also added this gorgeous set; an appliqued top, a skirt, bag with pocket in matching fabric and matching large hairclip. I decided to sell this by auction.


Coming up in the rest of the month, I'm hoping to have more yarn, more clothing, some jewellery and I'd like to make something with these two pieces of bamboo velour:


These were dyed with procion mx dyes using the low water immersion (LWI) technique.

Buy British Month

So it's Buy British Month time at Cloth Nappy Addicts again. Back in May I didn't get a lot of sales but I think people were mainly looking for nappies & accessories then. Now it's November and people are looking for Christmas presents so my products are selling well. I decided to mainly aim at the stocking filler side of things and so far that's paying off!




The bookmarks are proving really popular, I had to order more bits for them to keep up with demand!

I also listed a new line - fabric covered buttons:



and crocheted hats:




The cufflinks (at just £2.50 + p&p) are more popular than I expected! Had to order more bits for those too.



and the jewellery is proving popular too



Of course if you're not a nappy addict you can still get some of these yourself by visiting my site and requesting a custom item. We also have letter beads in stock to do name or initial bracelets, phone charms & bookmarks.
