ESPECIALLY FOR YOU
FABRIC ENVELOPES
We all appreciate the thought and effort that goes into a handwritten letter, and now you can go the extra mile and deliver it in a handmade envelope. These are perfect for pick-me-up postcards and birthday vouchers when you’re looking to add a personal touch.
STORAGE TUB
Keep all of your go-to gifting necessities safely stowed in one place with a handy storage tub. The pockets are ideal for making sure those smaller gift tags and ribbons are easy to find, and with colourful contrast lining and handles this will look great on your shelves in between uses.
GIFT BAGS
Choosing a gift bag for a special present is the ultimate finishing touch, and taking time to select the perfect fabric to suit your gift – and the recipient – is sure to make their day. Even better, these are a sustainable way to wrap your gifts and can used again and again.
PENCIL CASE
If you’re someone who takes extra special care when it comes to writing cards and gift tags, a designated pencil case for storing those metallic and brush lettering pens is a must-have. Mix and match your favourite fabrics to make it your own.
GIFT TAGS
These handmade gift tags are such a simple and effective make. Not only do they show someone you’ve been thinking of them but they’re also a great way of using up those fiddly fabric scraps you have lying around. Choose a personal message and get stitching!
GIFT WRAP STORAGE BAG
Once you have one of these, you’ll wonder how you ever did without! If, like us, your rolls of wrapping paper are currently hiding in the back of your wardrobe or under your desk, whip up a pretty storage bag to keep them tidy and protected! Yoga fans can repurpose this pattern to make a handy yoga mat bag, too.
