Thanks to designTURF I now know about the beautiful work of British textile artist and painter Maxine Sutton. Sutton ingeniously brings together honored crafts of embroidery, needle punch felting and screenprinting into her textiles and interior products. The result: a fresh take on old-meets-new to create whimsical patterns with a hint of retro chic. Not to mention made with eco-friendly style in mind.
The Fab Factor: Sutton’s commitment to sustainable style begins with the use of reclaimed or organic fabrics and fibers for her creations. She sources plant-dyed merino-wool yarns from the Pyrenees, and she refashions recycled sweaters and shirts for her cushions that are filled with organic wool.
