Australian Homespun - June 2018

PIN INTEREST

Bright ideas, fabulous products, clever tips & quick reads

Warning! Embarrassingly bad pun overload to follow:

Don’t be a ‘heel’. Show a little ‘sole’, just as Sarah Khandjian

did when she ‘pumped’ up her shoe style. And she was

no ‘loafer’ ... she set about using tassels and pompoms

as ankle-strap furbelows so she could put her best

(and brightest) foot forward. This is one crafty

creator who’s never going to ‘toe’ the fashion line.

GRANDMA

‚
S NOT TO
BE SNEEZED AT!
Isn’t this a lovely way to make a memory quilt – with a collection
of Gran’s floral handkerchiefs? By their very nature they work
beautifully together, and they are a lasting tribute to a wonderful
relative. This is the work of Tina Egner, of Emily Ann’s Kloset
(website: http://www.onelittlepooh.net; email: [email protected]).

SPOOL STOOLS

These may cost more than a regular reel of thread,

but they’re also a whole lot more comfortable! They

are stools, and they come in 16 dif erent colours,

so you’re bound to be able to find one or two to

suit your studio. Measurements are 45.5 x 30cm

(17.9 x 11.8in), and they’re made

from sustainably sourced

wood certified to FSC®

standards. Interested? Then

go to Monoculo Design Studio,

monoculodesign.com, or direct
