I made a mug rug video just before Christmas last year and asked viewers their preferred method of finishing them (I pinked the edges of those). There were a few comments and suggestions, one of which was to use self binding, so… that’s what this video covers! Thanks to @thelmalane9351, @lschimes6844 @merryguerrero1771 and special thanks…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I’m normally pretty much sorted with Christmas shopping by now, or at least I used to be. I’ve found less and less time each year as we get busier and busier. Covid meant time off work for most, but for us we saw a spike in orders…
Fantastically quick to sew, a set of these would make a lovely Christmas gift! Seriously, we’re talking a full set in less than an hour! I used different fabrics on the front and back and they can be used either way around. The size is based on the mats fitting our table either side of…

I saw one of these a few years ago and although I loved it, I didn’t have the time to make it. I also falsly believed it would be too difficult to make! I’ve seen a few tutorials for this kind of mat, but decided instead to create my own template (which I’m sharing with…
Played around with some new napkins for this years Christmas table. Whilst I love these and they look really cute, I do wish I’d used a bigger plate! I’m not going to change the post at all, but I do recommend using a larger circle. If you have a pin, some string and a pencil,…

These place mats are super, super easy and you only need 1 piece of burlap and one smaller piece of patterned fabric, scissors and a sewing machine. All the stitching is top-stitching, making it a breeze to whip these up. We’ve added the Place mat_Template for you to download, but you can use any shape you like….
These napkins came out better than I’d expected. I did however mess up the measurements – I’ve a million and one tutorials in my head at the moment and was clearly thinking of another! Still, I didn’t want to waste the material, so the one used to create the tutorial was 12 x 12 inches….
The first in the perfectly purple range, these little cutlery holders can be whipped up in no time. Just a quick note about the fabrics we used.
