Mexican Day of the Dead - Folk Art Cushions and Pillows - Frida Khalo
Found this gorgeous fabric online and had to order some to make up cushions and pillows and with the little pieces some bags - or, if you will, hand bag organisers! Buy them in Yarram at the BoHo online at Madeit or Etsy. Now to update the shops...
Horses, big hats, cacti and beautiful dresses - 50x50cm feather filled cushions.
These are 60x40 feather filled cushions - above and below.
Frida Khalo with her monkeys and parrots - 1 35x35cm cushion.
An Aztec Warrior for your bed! Pillow cases.
Skeleton puppets, for the kids! 45x45cm feather filled cushion.
Frida faces with sugar skulls 45x45cm feather filled cushion.
I completed an Associate Diploma in Fashion Design and Production with the Melbourne College of Textiles some years ago.
I now work at my parents house, where I have a workroom set up, when I am not at home in Tarra Valley looking after my little family!
I love doing machine embroidery and also silk screening and sewing on little extras like buttons. And then wearing something that no-one else has or seeing other people wear something I have created. I get to use all the skills I learned at college, such as pattern-making, sewing, marketing, designing etc.
I just love clothing and textiles! I love looking at them, I love making them and I love seeing what other people are making.
