BEDROOM MAKEOVER

APPLIQUÉ CANVAS

It just takes these three words to make your guests feel welcome! Choose colours to match your décor if blue and white don't work. The letters are cut out individually before attaching to the canvas and topstitched in place.

HEAD BAND

Backed with soft towelling fabric, this cute head band will come in handy at the beginning and end of the day, when you need to sort your face out. It's wired as well so it's easy to fasten – just wrap it around your head and twist the ends.

COSMETICS BAG

An absolute must-have for any guest, this lightly quilted cosmetic bag has plenty of room for all those make-up essentials, and it's even got a handy zip to keep everything safe inside. The patterned fabric lining is such a sweet surprise, it's the perfect finishing touch.

HOT WATER BOTTLE

Relaxing a warm bed is one of life's little pleasures, especially if you're away from home – and our quilted and lined hot water bottle cover fits the bill perfectly. It has a soft, cosy feel, and a simple button fastening to keep the filled hot water bottle in place.

EASY-SEW POUCHES

You can never have enough of these handy pouches – they're so handy for all those little bits and bobs. We have two here and they couldn't be easier to make. They're both generously-sized too, so you can fit plenty in. A clever touch is the coordinating zips, which we love!

ENVELOPE CUSHIONS

Your guests will feel relaxed as they settle back on these comfy cushions. They look great as a coordinating set with the bold appliqué lettering shining out against the plainer background fabric. There's also a matching cushion in a patterned fabric on the previous page.
