SEASONAL SHIFT

TISSUE POCKET

Whether you've got a sniffly nose from the cold weather, are gearing up for hayfever season, or just prone to coffee spills, a pack of tissues is a year-round essential. Sew up a pretty and practical tissue pocket and never be without.

FABRIC BANNER

Pay homage to your sanctuary with a ‘Happy Home’ banner, decorated with a simple rainbow made from your favourite fabric scraps. This will sit perfectly in your hallway as a sweet welcome home message to make you smile.

STORAGE TUBS

If you’re in spring clean mode and looking to organise your home, these storage tubs are just what you need. Sew them up with a contrast lining and a chunky rope handle for a unique and professional-looking finish.

PEG BAG

Amongst other things, spring is a time to say goodbye to our indoor airers and hang our washing out to dry in the lovely fresh air! Sew up this fab conical bag for peg storage you’ll want on display.

SCENTED SACHETS

Freshen up your drawers or storage boxes with a small sachet filled with your favourite scent. These are such a simple way to keep your clothes, towels, and bedding smelling good, and they look pretty, too!

CUSHIONS

It’s amazing the difference new cushions can make. Adding a splash of vibrant colour and a fun pattern can really lift a room and make it feel like you’ve had a good change – and they’re much cheaper than a new sofa!
