What’s Inside This Month....

In this month’s newsletter, I’m sharing ideas and stories designed to inspire calm, confidence, and creativity at your own pace. From a closer look at one of my favourite bag designs and ways to truly make it your own, to reflections on handmade traditions and the beauty of adding personal detail, I hope you’ll find something here to spark your imagination and warm these final winter days.

Pattern of the Month: The Lyon City Bag – Made Your Way

This Lyon City Bag has quickly become one of my favourite designs for exactly that reason. Its clean lines and thoughtful structure make it wonderfully versatile, equally at home as a softly quilted everyday bag or a more structured piece with a tailored feel. But where it really shines is in the freedom it gives you to customise.
