Young traders will be selling their crafts and gifts at a South Cheshire Youth Market tomorrow (November 17).
The event takes place at Minshulls Garden Centre in Church Minshull near Nantwich between 10am and 4pm.
Young people from 14 to 30 will be taking part with stalls selling a wide range of goods.
One taking part is Joy O’Hara, 24, who runs the fashion company BellaJoy with her friend Annabelle Buckley 23.
Joy said: “I’ve always had a passion for fashion and designing my own clothes. My mum had to put a lock on my wardrobe when I was three because I changed my clothes seven times a day!
“I love mixing patterns and textures to create original pieces that follow a retro style. My main product is skirts.
“My mum taught me how to sew and it’s extremely fortunate to have a fashion designer sister-in-law who has also helped to point me in the right direction.”
Annabelle added: “My main speciality is painting, although over the years I have become increasingly interested in crafts, textiles and fashion.
“I have a particular passion for customising and transforming old and tired furniture pieces and home accessories, giving them a new lease of life. I do this by using a simple patchwork effect with several different fabrics all varied in pattern, size, design and colour.
“I collect my furniture from car boot sales, second hand shops, or unwanted furniture given away. I always see a way to inject life back into furniture, therefore I find it almost impossible to throw anything away!”
Another company to feature is “It’s Fine and Candy”, run by Laura Wright, 29, and Steph Bebbington, 27.
They specialise in candy buffets for special occasions, as well as producing favours, candy kebabs and candy trees.
