Get a slice of the action! 💕

The quickest way to pep up a favourite jacket is by popping a cute little brooch on the lapel. And this watermelon number hits all the right notes. 


Packed with seed beads that add gloss and texture, this is an ideal project for experienced stitchers. But our step-by-steps are so detailed, we're sure anyone could have a go at this sweet little make.

Show someone you care 😘

Sometimes it's important to reach out and tell a friend or colleague that you're there for them. Life can be full of peaks and troughs, and there are times when a personal note makes all the difference. Pair this with a handmade card and the message is conveyed all the stronger.



This set of cards by Emma Congdon of Stitchrovia is sure to brighten anyone's day. Using modern typography and contemporary thread shades, they'll be a joy to stitch as well as send.
