PUT YOUR FEET UP

FABRIC BOWLS

Whether it’s jewellry, coins, keys or buttons and threads, these pretty little fabric bowls will come in handy around the house. We love the shape of these as something a bit different to sew and display – they’d make lovely house-warming gifts for friends or family!

CUSHION

Don’t worry about choosing favourites when it comes to sewing this patchwork cushion! If you love all the prints in a new collection or you have a stash of fat quarters to use up, this cushion is just what you need. The simple quilting makes this look extra cosy, too.

PROJECT BAG

Keep your works-in-progress neat and tidy with a stylish project bag. If you’re guilty of having more than a couple of makes on the go at the same time (aren’t we all...) then up your organisation even more and sew a couple of these for different garments or seasons.

MUG COSY

It’s no secret that us sewists are fuelled by a nice warm cup of tea or coffee, so a mug cosy is as essential to your kit list as needle and thread! This is a great little scrap buster too, so you can be gathering your off-cuts for this as you sew your next project.

HANGING PLANT POT

If you’re short on side space or looking to brighten up your walls then an on-trend hanging plant pot is a great addition. You can easily customise the size of this to fit your favourite plant and you could dye the hanging strings to match your decor!

STORAGE BASKET

A large basket by the sofa is an essential in our eyes! You can keep your latest reads, projects, charging cables or perhaps a tasty box of chocs nearby for when you sit down at the end of the day. Quilting this adds a lovely texture and professional feel, too.
