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 !

Buying a WittyDawn Lampshade - Where can I find one ?

So these days I tend to make more lampshades - from vintage fabric of course! - than anything else. 



I find that customers need guidance on the same sorts of things most of the time so I thought I should just write a few posts to help. 

Firstly where to find me! 

1. Just search ' WittyDawn'  - and lots of links will pop up ! that's the easiest way.

2. Look at my  Folksy shop - ALL my  100s of vintage fabrics are listed as lampshade options . Buy from there if you want to support my UK based business on a  UK marketplace exclusively for UK based craft.

3. I have a smaller selection in my Etsy shop as well - I also take custom orders here too

4. Check out WittyDawn UK on ebay  - I regularly list my ready to send out ex-display/old stock / seconds on here with some reductions in price.

5. Email WittyDawn - d-witt@sky.com

6. Via any of these options you can also arrange a visit to my home studio in Cirencester .

Each of my outlets has my red hatted lady  WittyDawn logo


Hope to meet you soon

The Summer is over and the NIght comes earlier - Bring in the Light!

Oh wow that was a nice Summer , good holidays, family time and days out !

BUT … have you noticed … yes it's getting darker earlier and Autumn is knocking at the door . 

Maybe it's  time to spruce up the lighting in your home  … well I can help with that with a funky lampshade!

Check out my shops, 
WittyDawnUK on Etsy  ( many to choose from) 
WittyDawn on Folksy ( 100s of fabric options listed ) 

I can post out easily - don't worry I pack my lampshades well -  over a 100 posted out now to happy customers , I've even posted a few overseas ( USA, Russia,Australia ) by special request. 




Need a lamp to go with your WittyDawn Lampshade ? check out  Scandiwegians  on Etsy they have LOTS of cool things !   Here is their Lamp Section







As you can tell I LOVE my 50s, 60s, 70s textiles but I have plenty of more traditional and children's fabrics too! 


By the way … these guys are available too (as well as bunting, cushions etc)  - popular little critters! lots of colours available

WittyDawn Vintage Fabric Lampshades

I started making Lampshades earlier this summer and they have been rather in demand … should have done this YEARS ago ! it's a lovely way to showcase vintage fabrics.

Here's a few that I have made in the last few weeks, but as I have over 300 vintage fabrics this is just a selection of what I can make for you from genuine 50s bark cloth, to funky 60s and 70s prints, plus some classic ' modern country ' / shabby chic / classic Sanderson fabrics.




But don't worry …. I still make a range of other items including my mice! Check out my Etsy Shop and my Folksy Shop
