Sustainable creativity from a queer maker linktr.ee/Charlottevinsen
I'm so excited about being a member of my local not for profit car share group
I hope everyone at Trans Pride in London has a wonderful day I'm there in spirit with this patch I made for the @goodlawproject.org trans quilt
No AI flyers here, just human and cat creation. The cat isn't super helpful, but she's got the spirit... Free Clothes Swap at Todmorden Library, 8th August!
Decided to make a 25% off discount on all sales £5 or more for Pride - use code Pride26 at checkout and be extra queer this month. charlottevinsen.com/discount/Pri...
Patching, darning, logo removal, and more available lickety split
I was in girl guiding all the way from Rainbows to Guides. I'm angry and disappointed at their ban of trans girls, even when offered assistance by @goodlawproject.org I channeled that anger into embroidering on an old patch I recieved back when I was a guide.
In an attempt to collect as many pre industrial crafts I can get my hands on, I'm learning to weave on a rigid heddle loom.
This also includes logo removal! I use recycled fabric to change up your clothes
I can mend your favourite rucksack! I specialise in visible mends, but I can make it blend in with the vibe of the item if you'd prefer, like here.
Calcium has worked out how to ask to lie on me on the sofa, and it's the sweetest thing in the world. She also has a zero tolerance for phones during Sofa Chill Time, so this is the best I've got of documenting it.
Proud to do my first canvassing for @greenparty.org.uk in Gorton & Denton this weekend - great speeched by Hannah Spencer & @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚
Sometimes you see people living the life you'd love, but you don't often get jealous of a book index.
Another happy wholesale customer! Made some custom designs from 100% recycled materials. Check out my offerings here or get in touch for bespoke options www.faire.com/direct/charl...
My set up at the So Retro market in Stalybridge today - next one is Ramsbottom on 16th November. My plan is to slowly integrate more and more christmas stuff as it feels more and more appropriate
I've heard there's mulled wine, so I am excited to get my mull on.
I was at Urmston this weekend with a stall at a vintage market 💜
I'm really chuffed with my new business card stamp - now I can make recycled cards as I need them, reducing waste on an item people ultimately throw away!
