Heirlooms Reimagined!

This quote by William Morris speaks to what many of us aspire to. Yet, so often, we have things that are invested with emotion and memories but could neither be described as beautiful nor useful.

We might be hanging onto a well-worn jacket or dress, a threadbare table-cloth, an outgrown pyjama top, or a precious baby sleep suit. We might be sentimentally attached to these items but they no longer have a purposeful function. 

The vision behind Heirloom Projects is to reimagine a purpose for these sentimental items, to transform these keepsakes and give them new life as bags, cushions, picture frames, covered boxes or folders, for example. 

Breathing new life into a keepsake could also mean that a single item is fashioned into more than one item. And each new item becomes a meaningful way to honour family history, a loved one,  share an important memory, and to offer this keepsake to other family members.
