MY FAVOURITE ROOM
STORAGE TUB
An entire room dedicated to sewing is a luxury, so if you’re more restricted with your space, a hanging storage tub could be the answer. You can stay organised without a permanent setup, and they look good too so you won’t mind having them on display!
SEWING MACHINE COVER
Keep your machine in tip-top condition with a fabric cover to protect it from dust, spills and clumsy family members and pets... This is one of the simplest ways to care for your machine and with a pouch pocket it’s also the best way to keep your WIP tools and materials in one place.
PROJECT BAGS
These handy project bags are the ideal way to keep your fabric, threads and pattern pieces together so they’re easy to pick up and get going when you next get precious sewing time. They’re also a brilliant way to use up some of your fabric scraps, too.
NOTEBOOK COVER
Planning out future projects can often be as fun as the actual making – we love dreaming up different fabric combinations and deciding which variations to make. If you’re a project planner like us, why not add a handmade touch to your notebook with a fabric cover?
IRONING BOARD COVER
It may not be everyone’s favourite task, but we all know how important it is to press, press and press again! If your trusty ironing board is looking a little tired, freshening it up with a new cover is a quick and easy way to achieve a new look.
TOOL STORAGE
This handy tool holder is the organisational make of our dreams! Filled with pockets and pouches, it’s a stylish, practical way to stash your haberdashery. When the time comes and we can go to sewing workshops again, this carrier will be an enviable way to pack your tools, too!
