We've
been spending quite a bit of time in the John Lewis baby department
recently, but I managed to sneak off to the haberdashery department.
With the impending house move and new arrival, I haven't had much time
for crafting recently so I was looking for inspiration. And I couldn't
help admiring this lovely collection by
Hemingway Design
for John Lewis. Inspired by Art Deco motifs and shapes, the whole
collection is lovely, I especially like the vanity cases which would
make a very stylish place to stash your craft stuff. They'd be equally
lovely as vanity cases in the old fashioned sense too, to carry around
make up or as an overnight bag.

Tins and purses with designs inspired by vintage sewing patterns.

Hemingway Design
is run by Wayne and Gerardine design who designed under the Red or Dead
label in the 90s and who have since worked on a fascinating variety of
projects ever since, on everything from wall tiles to the first vintage
festival at London's Southbank. (You can read more about the
Hemingway Design history on their website.)

| Even the simple button, pin and needle tins are stylish with a simple Art Deco font. |
It's
so nice to see some craft accessories that aren't the usual twee floral
patterns that seem to be everywhere trying to emulate the Cath Kidston
aesthetic. You can buy the collection online at the the
John Lewis website.
