QUILT

Perfect for displaying on a bed or wrapping up in on the sofa, Jess' quilt is a fabulous opportunity to brush up on your quilting skills and make something lovely for your home.

PILLOW

You're going to love us for this one! Fold up your beautiful stitched quilt when it's not in use and pop it in your matching cushion cover to make a pillow. A quillow! Safe and tidy.

TEA COSY AND WATER BOTTLE CARRIER

Here's a project for both home and away. Stitch a handy water bottle cover for when you're out and about and sew a matching tea cosy for when you get home and you're in need of warming up.

TROLLEY COIN POUCH

Once you've made your tea cosy, pop the kettle on and take it to your sewing studio and grab some time to chill out and sew this quick-make with a cuppa – never forget a pound coin for the supermarket again!

BOOKMARK CORNERS

No more dog-earing pages or using scraps of whatever you can find to mark your place in your current read. These corners are the perfect solution for saving your page and look beautiful doing it too!

NECK PILLOW

Here's a real mindful make for you – simply fill your neck pillow with a rice and lavender mix, stitch it all up and heat it in the microwave to soothe a sore neck. All that's left to do is get cosy with your new quilt and a book.
