Handcrafted

Talk about handmade, this quilt is made only upon ordering. And only takes 5-10 business days to be completed. How we wish our blankets only took that long.

The top is made from lightweight cotton,s with the underside made from snuggly flannel. It's only 89cm x 89cm (35 inches) so not huge, so a lougne blankey or for a baby best suited.

We're all for gorgeous corsages made with fresh flowers, but sometimes it's all too much effort to order or make them, and why should you when you can have one of these fabulous Ban Do corsages on hand in your jewelry box.

Vintage fabrics send us into a tither. really fabulous ones are hard to come by, and once purchased seem to collect dust here in the Distillate studio waiting to be turned into cushions.

So if you too are a procrastinator or simply love a lounge or armchair filled stuffed cushions we present to you a selection of cushions, handmade from vintage fabrics.

If you haven't heard of Donna Wilson we'll assume you live under a rock. Donna's been crafting these crazy little toys for quite some time now, but Distillate wasn't around to post about them then, so we're going to take the opportunity to do so now.

They're all handknitted and sewn and wicked little personalities such as Edd Red Head for example dislikes sports and loves cuddles, whereas Rufus liked his ears being stroked, going to parties and dislikes smelly feet. Us too Rufus.

These little stamps have been designed and hand made by the lovely ladies over at Studio Violet. They're making all sorts of cool stuff at the moment, and we wait with held breath for their next ceramics line to come out (which we featured here).

You could be a dag and actually wear these bags whilst on your bike, or they're handy for pretty much anything.

Each image transfer is made with an Epson Stylus printed, 8 colour ultrachrome and archival pigments and is transferred by hand onto the tote, which is made from 100% recycled cotton.

What can we say - this is hilarious. We're pretty sure you don't need a handmade felt taco in your life, but it just fit so perfectly with today's theme that we couldn't help ourselves.

If you search etsy under mexican handmade items you will find a huge selection of delicacies including taco earrings, taco necklaces, nacho brooches...so someone must be buying this stuff!
