We confess, we love organising!  We’re always looking for solutions to make our sewing room more organised and our supplies easier to find and use. Why waste time rummaging through to find what you need when you could be sewing instead? The urge to organise is what lead to the invention of many of our products, so let us tell you more about them below so you can get your sewing room organised too. 

Organise your thread and bobbins with Spoolpods

SpoolPods, was born from the frustration of never being able to find the matching bobbin when changing thread! Having them stored in a draw or tin they get all tangled up and rummaging through to match the bobbin colour to the spool just makes it worse (thread nest anyone?)

So the idea for a product that would allow you to store your thread with the matching bobbin lead to SpoolPods.  To help avoid the trailing thread problem SpoolPods are made from silicone so they grip the spool and bobbin meaning they won’t move around in the case or fall out, so there will be no unravelling!

Do you find it hard to remember what fabrics are in your stash? Can you never locate that particular fabric you know you bought a year or so ago but aren’t sure where you stashed it? Do you end up buying duplicates because you forget what you already own? Do you pull a fabric from your stash then can’t remember what kind of fabric it is? 

Worry no more! We have the perfect solution – our new fabric swatch book! 

This beautiful A5 binder comes with 25 card inserts, space for 50 swatches, plus the option to buy more if you have a larger stash. 

There is space on the card inserts for you to stick a sample of each fabric in. We recommend using double sided tape, but washi tape or staples work too. Best to avoid glue as it can soak through the fabric. 

You can note down the fibre composition, type and weight so you don’t forget it. You can also say where you bought it from so if you need more you don’t have to trawl your receipts to try and remember where it came from. Plus the ‘stashed’ box at the bottom allows you to note down where you’ve located it so you don’t have to waste time rummaging through boxes, shelves or draws of fabric.… Read More...
