A beautifully made tote bag by Mel. I love the colours of the recycled fabric. Proving to be useful as well as lovely looking.
Came beautifully wrapped too. Thank you x

Delighted with my purchase . Very well sewn .Love the main fabric and contrasting fabric used . Bought it as a lumbar support cushion for a fabulous antique chair we’ve upcycled in Frenchic paint. Prompt delivery. Thank you .

I love this beautiful handcrafted bag. It looks just like the photos. It is my second purchase from this talented maker and will not be my last. Many thanks!

An absolutely gorgeous pincushion. The embroidery is so neat and the bee is the cutest detail ever.
It is a charming addition to my craft corner.

Gorgeous little pincushion insert for my vintage eggcup that was my dad's as a child. As it was precious, Mel suggested not posting it to her, and she used the measurements and photo I sent. She created a beautifully embroidered and well stuffed top that fits perfectly, without the need for glue.
Looking forward to using it every day.

This zip bag is gorgeous. Quality materials, well made and packaged beautifully. Arrived very quickly. Thanks Mel for fantastic products and great customer service. 5 stars!

I'm so happy to be able to display an old egg cup that belonged to my Grandma many years as a pincushion. Such beautiful dainty hand embroidery on the pin cushion pad and so easy to add to my egg cup. Thank you so much Mel. Louise x
