Springtime Tatty Raggedy-ness

I love Spring, and I really loved the last two days of term, knowing I'd be getting 2 whole weeks of lie-ins.  I also enjoyed the morning school runs, as I got to pass all the little schoolchildren heading in with their homemade Easter Bonnets on.  Crepe paper and fluffy chicks atop many a wee head!

I had orders for tatty hearts and horseshoes - some of which were in Spring-time colours so I went for these...

 ...and some greens...

...and finally a couple of horseshoes...

Bridal Horseshoes

Some more horseshoes to show you: a dusky pink floral and gingham combination...

...one made with a gold accented wedding in mind...

  ...and a fluffy pink confetti look...

For a Wedding...

I'm off to a wedding today so I've made this tatty raggedy horseshoe to give to the bride after the ceremony.

It's made using pink dupion silk, pale cream lace, gold organza and plain ivory cotton... 

...and is finished with a white satin hanger and bows.

Tatty Rag Horseshoes

Just a quick show of three more horseshoes I've made before they go on sale...

pale lavenders and creams...

 ...fresh pinks with a hint of green in the floral print...

 ...and a slightly softer pink combination, which looks like confetti and cherry blossom...

Tatty Rag Horseshoes

Just a couple of Tatty Rag Horseshoes I've made today.

The first is made in a blue colourway, with stripes, florals and plain fabrics...

...and the second is in pale purples, with floral print gingham, plain and two florals.

Tatty Rag Horseshoe

I've been making more tatty rag hearts and I wanted to try something a little bit different so I went for a horseshoe.

Made with four different materials in a pink colourway : 

plain white, plain pink, pink gingham and pink floral. 

It is finished with pink satin ribbon bows and hanger and a 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag.
