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.

 My makes of late are from fabric off cuts. It’s lovely to make something worthwhile from a scrap of fabric that ends up as something useful and 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
