Loving the vintage vibe!

Here's where I'll share my obsession with vintage fabric! It's taking over my house!

I'll sharing with you my favorite fabrics, my 'adventures" in dressmaking using vintage patterns, some home furnishing ideas and no doubt I'll be telling you about any exciting finds! Love to hear about your vintage adventures too!

My first Shop was AudreysCat ( online shop May 2010) , but my new logo / name - WittyDawn , arrived Jan 2014.

I hope you'll have time to browse my shops too !

New Retro Applique Projects!


I've been mulling over designs for 'luxury' retro cushions for a while, featuring my gorgeous vintage fabric and trims with applique using my own drawings. Thought I might share with you the first two that I've started work on. These feature mainlt 70s cottons with floral and scandi themes.

If you fancy suggesting some other motifs I'd be thrilled to hear you ideas!
Dawn/Audrey X!

AudreysCat at Prema Art Centre, Uley, Glos


A couple of weeks ago I was contacted via Facebook by the super folks at Prema Art Centre https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002137008477 asking if I'd like to have a few of my item offered for sale in their display unit. As you can imagine I was delighted to have my bags, and my Retro ReBorn animals included in their colourful Retro themed display along with these other beautiful items from talented makers.

It's a great Art Centre with a diverse offerings of craft, crafting/arts groups and performances on offer. I have attended a fused glass course, my OH has been on a singing course and been to a few gigs there all great!. In a fabulous location and building, well worth checking out!
