Last week I came across the beautiful work of Abigail Brown who used textiles to create the most stunning little creatures using fabric. Her work is all hand made and Abigail sews everything by hand in her studio. Each piece is exquisitely crafted with great love and attention to detail. Abigail spent a large amount of time as a child in the company of her grandma, an incredibly talented, hardworking seamstress, in a house strewn with loose threads and scraps of fabric.Now, she works with fabric to give life to the little creatures that so lovingly creates. Being an avid collector of fabrics, Abigail’s creations can be made from just about anything from her old pyjamas to someone’s curtains from the 1970’s or her friend’s old skirt.

Aren’t they just the most darling things you have ever seen? I would love to have a couple of these gorgeous little birdies dotted around my house. How about you?
