Petal and Pins
Remember when we used to get so excited because Sandra Alcorn, that wonderful dressmaker in North Hobart was having a sale of her $20 bags of exquisite high end fabrics and laces? The contents were treasured, turned into all sorts of interesting items, stitched, dyed, stroked; we loved the fabric quality none of us would ever find in Hobart.
Sandra closed her business and opened Petal and Pins, beginning with the Garden Fairies Wardrobe, printing and selling beautiful quality linen tea towels. I bought some years ago, and they have stood up wonderfully to everything my kitchen can throw at them!
Now Sandra has a wide range of products, and after catching up with her recently, I thought you might like to read about how she creates those enticing images, plus a lot more about her journey.
The process of creation, a fascinating glimpse.
