Ellie's heirlooms

Repurposing beautiful and treasured antique linen and cotton, with handprinted patterns into unique, beautiful clothing to be worn and enjoyed.

A few years ago I was given some antique linen sheets. Some of it them were well used and others were in perfect condition.

It became clear that it needed a new lease of life and purpose again. Drawing on my passion for textiles and costume I have dedicated my time to restoring this incredible fabric with patterns inspired by 1930s feed sacks. As linen sheets were given as part of a dowry or trousseau and were vital for the home, the style of the clothing should echo this with easy wear, durability and beauty.

Ellies heirlooms are one off treasure pieces. They are made to order and even commissioned to create the perfect pattern to match your wedding theme.
