Margaret Taylor
Textile artist, Margaret Taylor has recently opened an online shop to sell her unusual handmade accessories. Margaret makes bags, wall hangings and journal/album covers, as well as working on individual commissions and running a number of workshops.
The bags and journal covers shown above have been created by the manipulation of a variety of fabrics, including linen, wool, cotton, net and synthetics. Each design is finished using machine and hand stitching techniques and then completed with embroidery and buttons.
I came across Margaret’s website by chance and was immediately drawn to the bags. They’re so unusual, both in terms of their shape and the minute detail that has gone into making each one. The bags and journal covers can also be made to commission, incorporating your own materials, perhaps as a memento of a special event.
