Claracreate, by Alison Capeling is an artisan business making beautiful minimal waste products from her Cornish home studio. Each handmade item is traditionally made with thoughtful yet simple design, one-off pieces for you and your home.

Lately Iv'e been using up lots of lovely fabric off-cuts. Making items from small pieces of fabric is really rewarding. Transforming fabric off-cuts into cherished items like bookmarks, purses and textile art is a fun way to craft sustainably, especially now the kids are on summer hols. X
