Mathildas Market

Here are some pics from the Mathildas Market, we had a great morning launching some of the new range, check out how cute the new handmade bat softies are....
The bats are made by Jess Wright using old army blankets from the 1940's. And the little sleepy critters are actually wheat bags that you can heat up whenever you feel in need of a warm snuggle. Also in the new range are Emma Byrnes beautiful handmade felt crowns, for  little kings and queens. Keep your eye on the horizon for new costumes and toys cos they are just so much fun for us to make!

Mathildas Market this weekend!

Little Harvest is having a stall at the Mathildas Market this Sunday the 14th of March at the Hawthorn Town Hall,360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn ,9am to 1pm. There is plenty of free parking at the back of the Town Hall.
Above is a taste of some Little Harvest goodies you can find at the market.
There will be lots of new products at the stall including linen dresses, toys, crowns and my favourite... softies that are actually wheat bags to keep the winter chills away. As well as the t-shirts and hemp dresses you have seen in previous posts. We hope to see you there ....

Something blowing in the wind.....

Late last year I started printing t-shirts using some drawings that I had loved for a long time under the label Harvest Moon.
Since that time the label has grown and changed....
The first change being the name which is now Little Harvest with a new font to match, there has also a new section of the label called Harvest Play which is just  as fun as the name suggests!
The second big change is I am now working as a team with Jess Wright and Emma Byrnes  to create products and run textile classes.
As a trio we make a dynamic team and bring many different ideas and skills to the table.
Its been refreshing and inspiring working with these two very skilled ladies with so many good times ahead of us.
All three of us are all mothers and lovers of  handmade textiles.
We all appreciate the limitations we have as stay at home parents to put our ideas into action but between the three of us we can lend each other a hand to help make those ideas into a reality!
Its sometimes hectic and there are some very late nights, but there are always a lot of laughs to make it worthwhile.
Yesterday we did a photo shoot at our weekly Little Harvest meeting it was one of those hectic moments when you realize the whole family is running the label together!
