Upcycling at Brampton Halt

Carole has been working with a small group of Year 3 children in Bedford, on a special project, working from images taken along the Brampton Valley Way, they have been designing and making scarves, using up-cycled fabrics.


Carole decided to spend a day at Brampton Halt


measuring out backing fabrics


pinning, placing and


sewing in a railway carriage


Some of the scarves - 


work in progress

Carole also took the opportunity to photograph


a series of calico duffle bags


the fronts have been reworked


with some of the tea towel textiles


from the Invisible Threads Collection


Tea Towel Installation at Sudborough Green Lodge Cottages in March 2010



The bags and a selection of the printed Tea Towels will soon be available at Longdogs Bazaar on Etsy and part of the proceeds will be added to our future projects fund.
