    DOOR HANGER

    We all need a little time out every now and then, and even more so around the busy festive season. Get the message across loud and clear with this most-important embroidered door hanger to let those around you know you're off-duty.

    PATCHWORK CUSHION

    Make seasonal cushions a thing in your home and get sewing a winter patchwork cushion! New cushions make such an impact in a room, and now yours can help you declare that Sofa Season has arrived and you intend to be completely cosy.

    SOFA CADDY

    No more turning the house upside down to find the remote! Keep everything neat and tidy with a cute homemade sofa caddy. We love the idea of brightening up a plain sofa with some bold patterns for this.

    COTTAGE DOORSTOP

    This charming house-shaped doorstop will fit in anywhere in your home. This would be so adorable customised to match your front door and curtains or with your house name appliquéd on!

    TABLET CASE

    This tablet case is such a satisfying make! The tri-fold stand is perfect for when you want to watch or browse hands-free, and the fleece padding helps to keep your tablet safe. This would make a lovely present, too.

    LOG CARRIER

    This is such a quick and easy make and will come in so handy when it's time to get the wood burner going. Even when this is not in use we'll be keeping it pride of place for decorative purposes!
