Welcome to Carolee Crafts an online individual boutique offering you a unique gift experience.
My name is Caroline and I spend my days making beautiful creations. Living in a small village called Lindford, in the Hampshire countryside. Sitting on the edge of the South Downs National Park.
I have always loved to create whether by thread, paper, wool and dabbled in ceramics a long time ago. I tend to use pastel colours and love woodland animal themes.
Coming from a creative family going back generations from a Mother who stitched blouses out of damaged silk parachutes, a Great, Great Aunt who lived in a Grace and Favour appartment at Hampton Court palace and stitched in a team of ladies for Queen Mary. A Great Great aunt who had her own millinery business in Bromley. Not forgetting my Father who came from a long line of builders. Designing, with my Mother’s suggestions beautiful houses that became homes.
All the items I sell have been made with care and attention to detail, finished to a high standard and each piece is quality controlled to ensure that you the customer are delighted with your purchase be it a gift for yourself or for someone special.
I offer a bespoke service for those hard to find gifts or cards, if you have an idea let me see if I can help you, there is no obligation.
They are super! Is it wrong to muss my dungarees from the 70s... that is until I need to dash to the loo!
ReplyDeleteI love how you casually say you sketched a couple of designs and drew up a pattern, and when you not feeling 100%, it would take me for ever. Hope you are feeling better. The dungarees are great
ReplyDeleteAlways a great blog hope you are feeling better now, I am also a fabric addict as you can see in my blog this week Cant believe I have so much of it its crazy xxxx
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better Caroline. Love the dungaress! I know how fabric speaks to you :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in HM x

Sorry to hear you've not been well. The dungarees are fab.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sue x
I can't believe you can just stitch those up! Funny I was talking to my husband about my old overalls (I guess the American term for dungarees) recently. And I just bought a pair (not as cute as these!) and have been so enjoying them! Clearly you are at the edge of the trend. :) Love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteHope your well on the mend! Good idea on baby/toddler projects. I think they would be very popular. Mums love to be 'different'
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the colours of the first dungarees, they're fab :)
ReplyDeleteMy 1st lived in dungarees and pinafores as she was too slim for anything else to stay up!
ReplyDeleteThe safari ones are my favourite, but they are all great.
Hope you are feeling better now!! It's great to hear you say how you just sketched and put together a pattern when you were under the weather - just so casual and laid back about it!! I wouldn't be able to create something like this when I am feeling fine lol.
ReplyDeleteLove your work, the dungarees are fab - I remember my childhood dungarees, I used to love them :o)
Can't wait to see what you come up with next!!

Love the dungarees! Hope you are feeling better now! I completely understand having a fabric addiction as I am the same with paper...I love it when you see a piece and your imagination just starts running riot (well mine does anyway lol)
ReplyDeleteLoving the dungarees! Hope you're feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and bright, I love them, hope your feeling better.
