Inspired by mid
century style
Fabric
Much of the
fabric Alison uses is recycled, having started life as
garments, soft furnishings or offcuts sourced from all over
the country. She seeks out mid-century fabrics and creates
unique items which are a mixture of contemporary and retro
in feel.
Alison's fabric designs are availabe to buy on her folksy

Alison
also collects vintage pressed glass, and turns these into
individual candles which are an ideal addition to a mid
century inspired home, or as gifts.
dingledangledesigns - handmade bags
Alison has been
making bags since 2005, starting when a few people saw her
carrying own bags and asked if she could make some for
them. Her knitted bags are often also made from vintage
wools.
Very often the size and style of the bag is suggested by
the fabric used, and no two are identical.
She sells ready made bags at local craft fairs and makes
bespoke bags to order. These can be designed to co-ordinate
with different outfits, for work, casual or evening
wear.
