Best magazine in the UK features our Poinsettia sack in their Christmas edition!


This project is an extra special one in the book because we used beautiful fabrics, some screen printed by hand right here in Sydney, by Prints Charming Original Fabrics. This sack is reasonably quick and easy. The key is using really gorgeous bright fabrics. If you're in Australia you can buy printed Prints Charming fabrics in Spotlight.

Happy 4th of July loom band bunting

Left it a bit late to make awesome decorations for your 4th of July party? Don't panic! This bunting looks amazing and requires almost no skill! Win! 

We used up a bundle of fabric scraps from old projects. If you don't have fabric scraps lying around you can pick up small amounts of cotton fabric cheaply at fabric stores. Check remnant bins for offcuts too. 

We've used loom bands because they seem to cover every surface around here at the moment. Of course you can use regular rubber/elastic bands or even tie the fabric scraps on.

Happy 4th!

Daisy chain bracelet. Happy Birthday Unikko!

As a kid growing up in England, I spent a lot of time on the side of the rounders field making daisy chains. So meditative! Carefully splitting the stem of one daisy with a fingernail, and pushing the stem of another through until we had endless pretty chains of tiny white flowers. 

This sewing project shouldn't take you much longer to do. But if you're really in a hurry, I had a couple of teenagers who used a hot glue gun this morning and the results were just as lovely!

Did you know that Marimekko has just celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic design Unikko? So this little daisy is tiny nod to that too! Happy Birthday Unikko!
