About Irene Campsill Designs

Busy as a bee doing what I love

I am a self taught artist with a love of all things textiles and particularly repurposing fabrics to make home wares and accessories

The inspiration for my designs is led by the fabrics I source : remnants, wool clothing (particularly kilts!), curtain samples, vintage fabric etc. I started by making bags and then found I had pieces that were too pretty to throw away but not large enough for my bags, so the smaller designs were created.

I want my products to be fun but also functional. The handbag shapes are my own design.

During lockdown I discovered my love of hand embroidery inspired by the countryside/ coastline and my particular favourite - hares. I also use free machine embroidery - its like painting with your sewing machine. I just lose myself in it in a way I never could with a paint brush.

I live by the coast and the two workshop assistants, Archie and Meg, love the beach where they can run to their heart's content meeting new friends along the way.

I hope you like my designs, they are a labour of love. If you are looking for something specific do please get in touch ....
