Right, there are approximately 36 hours until Christmas Day dawns so if you’ve not got all your Christmas gifts done now is the time for a little constructive panic shopping. But fear not, we’ve got a few little extras hidden up our crafty sleeves, so if you need to bung a few extras into someone’s stocking or drop a couple of hints for the stressed out shoppers around you, read on …
Our beautiful gift bags are perfect for quick fix presents – made from a range of gorgeous and funky fabrics, and full of lovely goodies, these will make someone very happy on Christmas morning. Choose from Wonder Woman, large bird prints, geometric florals, Star Wars or colour blocked butterflies; we’ve filled them with matching wool and super chunky knitting needles, crochet hooks and yarn, magazines and rotary cutters, merino wool and pattern books, but you’re welcome to fill a bag with as much or as little as you like.
Magazines are always a good bet and if you love sewing or patchwork, these babies will sort you right out. Pretty Patches comes crammed with masses of projects for all skill levels, and will certainly keep crafty types occupied over the holiday period; Love Sewing is the ideal magazine for those that want to get creative with their clothing over Christmas as it comes with a free paper pattern and instructions in the magazine itself for a whole load of other makes for you and your loved ones.
Our new sewing kits in large and small are cute and full of useful stuff: scissors, pin cushions, needles and thimbles. Just right for those that need a bit more organisation in their lives.
Feel like giving a small girl an extra treat? Bag a reversible dress for anyone from the age of one to six from our range of fabulous fabrics – Bat Girl and festive gnomes are just two of our favourites.
Want to give a loved one a handmade gift but really don’t have the time? Grab a cable knit headband in a funky colour and give someone the gift of warm ears for Christmas.
Really can’t decide what to get? A fat quarter bundle is always a good answer – have a rummage through our massive selection and mix and match for yourself, or choose a pre-matched selection if you are in a real rush.
So all that’s left to say now is we hope, whatever presents you manage to get or make, that you have a very merry Christmas and a super happy New Year! See you in 2016!
