More children's Miffy cushions

My daughter is 4 tomorrow and I've been throwing myself into making children's cushions. I wonder if I'll still be making Miffy cushions when she's 18!

Jane Foster's new Bird and Tulip screen printed cards

I love creating patterns from simple motifs - here are some of my new screen printed cards which have been designed from simple paper cuts that I did before exposing the images onto silk screens to print. These are Tulip and Birds, available to buy now from my webshop. They are large cards which have been printed onto 300gsm quality white card - perfect for Mother's Day! (and Easter!)

New 70s fabric toy owls added to etsy

I've been asked recently to make some more owls so I've made these from 70s fabrics and will be listing them on my etsy site. Have also been having fun making some cushions using my own printed fabrics.

Jane Foster's new screen printed 'Tulip' fabric

Have been designing some fabrics the past few weeks to add to my etsy shop. Here are some photos of the first design called 'Tulip', inspired by some of my 70s fabrics. The design started as a large paper cut that I reduced in size before exposing onto a silk screen. I have these in red and aqua printed onto pure white quality crisp cotton, perfect for small sewing projects such as purses, patchwork and cushions. The inks are water based and have been heat fixed so the fabric is washable.

Jane Foster's vintage fabric children's cushions

Have really enjoyed returning to some sewing this half term by making these bright, fun children's cushions using vintage Miffy fabric along with 70s and retro cottons. Available now from my website here.
For those of you who may miss my previous cushion site, I shall be listing more vintage fabric cushions on my main site over the next few weeks.

Nautical theme going on in Jane Foster's home

I'm noticing an increasing nautical theme going on in our home - we've been visiting our wonderful Devon beaches most weekends and I love looking for the various shells, striped pebbles and tumbled glass one can find. Our dream would be to one day live by the sea but because we don't, we've created a beach style deck here instead where I imagine the sea is just beyond our back gate! We've painted our new shed white and added a shallow shelf for my daughter's and my striped pebble and shell collection. (But I'm not allowed to make Scandinavian flowery curtains when it gets a window!)
