Handmade gifts for Christmas

Guest blogger Sarah Barnhoorn of Babazeka writes about a Cape crafter.

This week I've decided to tell you about a wonderful artist and crafter from Cape Town. Her name is Jesse Breytenbach and she hand-makes the most beautiful products. 

Jesse's particular crafting focus is on printing, although she often chats about her drawing, sewing and crocheting on her blog. This is a blog, I must add, which is definitely a worthwhile read for all craft enthusiasts. 

Here you can see some of the gorgeous fabrics which Jesse has printed and then sewn up into different items. All of them, I think, are great ideas for Christmas gifts.

    

If you're interested in viewing more of Jesse's products, you can take a look at her Etsy online shop here. Enjoy!
