Welcome to Mels Handmade Creations

Unique "one off" pieces of textile creations

Pretty and envronmentally friendly, bags, purses and cosmetic bags.

Functional, - Be environmentally aware

 

I like to make functional objects and I’m inspired by the patterns, colours and textures of the fabrics, designing and constructing them is a challenge which I thoroughly enjoy. The idea of making a re-usable bag which is functional, aesthetic and also contributes towards saving the planet, (land-fill is responsible for a large percentage of environmental damage), appeals to me. All the materials I use are ecological, cotton fabrics and wool fibres.
