Most of the time, creations from established designers are not only irresistible to love, they also trump lesser known designers easily, that's why it's extra special when some (such as the Heartworks Stitching Club) stand out amid such talent.
Participating in the Design Indaba Expo 2010, the Heartworks Stitching Club displayed their beautifully unique crafts. Presenting everything from teddy bears to pillows, founder Margaret Woermann along with over 30 local Cape Town women, showed how each piece represents the individual.
