THE YEAR OF YOU

EYE MASK

Mask on and head down! January can have us feeling a little bit like hibernating, so why not embrace the long dark evenings and catch up on some snooze time? An eye mask is a simple make but an essential ingredient for a good night's sleep.

APPLIQUÉ CANVAS

Hang this all-important reminder somewhere you'll see it every day. We love a motivational wall hanging, and this one feels particularly special. Customise it to match your home decor or opt for stand-out contrast colours.

SHIOPPER BAG

This patchwork shopper bag is as practical as it is pretty! It has a removable base that helps it keep its shape and can be taken out for washing. This is such a good way of displaying your most-loved prints.

COSMETICS CASE

Whether you're headed for a night away or just want to keep your dressing table looking a bit tidier, a cosmetics case is so handy. This one has a carrier handle on the lid too, making it nice and easy to take with you.

REUSABLE WASH PADS AND BAG

These reusable wash pads are good for the planet and for your stash! Grab some of your favourite scraps and sew yourself something you'll use every day. We love the cute bag to store your wash cloth and pads in!

HEART PILLOWS

Spread some love with a set of heart-shaped pillows. These are quick and easy to make and look so lovely scattered on a bed or sofa – a perfect little reminder to take good care of yourself.
