Cushie Doo Textiles

Who we are

My name is Inga and I design and hand print my own designs onto natural fabrics. I use eco friendly inks, which I then print onto fabric and create a unique range of homewares and accessories.

I am inspired by pattern, colour, texture, nature, architecture and the Arts & Crafts movement

I‘ve been creative since I was very young, and a few years ago I discovered block and screen printing. Always having had a love for fabrics and colour, I decided to teach myself how to apply my designs on to fabric. I love the whole process of hand printing – the mixing of the colours, the sound of rolling out the ink and then the excitement of seeing the printed pattern when you lift the block from the fabric.

I have also recently introduced a new product range which I call MIXT – a combination of Tweed woven on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scottish Linen woven in Kirkcaldy and Vintage Sari Silks. In old Scottish Dialect, MIXT means mixed, mingled or combined

I am passionate about doing what I can to help protect the environment. I print on to fabric woven locally in Fife, and source other supplies wherever possible from UK based businesses. Working in my studio, my printing process aims to be as sustainable as possible, using water based inks and natural fabrics – and with as little wastage as possible – to produce my range of textile products.

My aim is for my business to be sustainable and considerate to the environment ~ even my packaging is eco-friendly, using recycled and recyclable materials.

Sustainable ~ ‘’ not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources’’.
