MY SANCTUARY

SCENTED EYE MASK

Leave your troubles at the door and take a moment for yourself with this scented eye mask. Ours is filled with lavender, but choose whichever scent you find most comforting. You could also make yours in an indulgent silk, or a soft brushed cotton that’s gentle on your skin.

CUSHION

There’s no denying that scatter cushions can quite easily get a little out of hand... but if you’ve gone to the effort of making them then they deserve pride of place on your bed for you to see and appreciate every day. We love the ruffle trim on this design to add some texture and style.

BED THROW

This decorative throw adds a burst of personality, print and colour to your room. You could use contrasting colours for both sides so you can turn it over to match your different sets of bedding, or choose spring and autumnal prints to match the seasons.

COSMETICS CASE

Keep your beauty essentials together in one place with a pretty cosmetics case. You could add a ribbon tie to the zipper for an extra detail, or use a laminate lining to make it easy to clean if you use it to store your makeup. This would make a lovely gift for a friend, too.

HOT WATER BOTTLE CASE

There’s nothing quite like the comfort of a hot water bottle in the winter months to ward off the chilly weather. Whether you’re tucked up on the sofa with it, or keeping it under your duvet to warm up your bed, store yours in style with a handmade quilted case.

DRESSING GOWN

With the nights drawing in, we’ve made the transition to the fleecy PJs now. If a big, chunky dressing gown feels a bit overkill on top, this lightweight layer is the perfect solution for enjoying the comfort of a dressing gown without overheating!
