Magic Pumpkins & Faery Dust

by Nina Vanegrow

Magic Pumpkins & Faery Dust is run by Nina Vanegrow who designs & manufactures individual handcrafted faery tale inspired children's clothes, costumes & toys as well as various textile objects like hairclips & slip cover notebooks.

All of her designs are made using mainly vintage & reclaimed fabrics & off cuts as well as organic & fairtrade materials.

The Faerytale Baby Shoes & Pixie or Wizard Slippers are made wuth boiled wool (a process which involves washing a woollen jumper on a hot cycle to make itfelt & thereby giving it a new lease of life.)

Most of the felt play crowns are dyed with organic plant dyes & made from boiled wool or organic felt (off cuts from an organic mattress manufacturer).

In the designing process are a number of childrens costumes; knights, wizard & pirate & faery garments will be part of this range. Again the fabrics used will be recycled or organic.

A range of soft toys are produced using organic & fairtrade materials & comprise of a 1930's style teddy bear, cats, personalised rag dolls, hobbyhorses & hobby unicorns.

There is also a line of collectable teddy bears using vintage fabrics to give them an antique look.

Do you have a cherished piece of clothing? - shirt, dress or tweed jacket you cannot part eith but is too tatty to be worn? Have it transformed intro a bear or cat & your once favourite garment will become a cherished & very decorative character.

Comissions are very welcome - please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any queries, Nina.
