The Peaks Collection XL kits are already winging their way around the globe! Thanks to everyone who bought one so far. Doing a little happy dance (as us small business owners do!) I love this shot of both size purses, gives you some idea of scale. It really is a graphically delightful beauty. (It also works so well with my navy #peppermintjumpsuit !! #diysashikokits #thepeakscollection #slowsewing #hills #mountain @louisaeagletonphotography

Finally it’s here! The Peaks Collection goes supersize with the new XL kit. This sample is the hills design. The hills design was inspired by my hometown of Sheffield in Yorkshire. Sheffield is a city of hills, apparently it is built on 7 of them. This is a much debated topic but all I know is that it’s a hilly city and we all have very good calf muscles! This project really does achieve the slow sewing concept, it’s such a meditative design and so easy to do. I’ve just listed some in my Etsy store, with some lovely thread combinations and delicious lining options. They are the perfect gift (for you) or that hard to buy for friend. Link in profile. #diysashikokits #sashiko #hills #sheffield #diychristmas #slowsewing

Just started to list some of my kits in the Etsy store again after it has been long neglected. I held a lot of stock back for the markets so I can now finally add some lovely pieces to the store! Anyone looking for a gift for a maker friend (or yourself!) look no further. Happy to gift wrap and send directly. Easy peasy! #diysashikokits #xero #diychristmas

What a weekend! My throat is sore from all the chatting to lovely customers and my feet are aching from the long days on my feet but it was worth every moment. Spreading the sewing love is what it’s all about and also meeting such incredible makers, innovators and creative peeps. Great photo from #xero who were sponsors for the Debut section at #thefinderskeepers. I often find this kind of shoot excruciating so nervous laughter was key to this photo 😂 #diysashikokits

Debut stall buddies @thetilburypress @pinched___ @littlerowanredhead @asuvi_cos

Last day! Met some amazing makers and of course some lovely customers too. Just need to ensure I don’t spend too much on the way out....#thefinderskeepers #diysashikokits

I’m in! Always a team effort so big thanks to bump in team. Gotta love a hi-vis vest!! Rather nervous but also super excited to meet a whole new bunch of makers #thefinderskeepers @lucycharlotte @gabstokes @amberboardman #diysashikokits

Only 10 days to go... been furiously packing kits (with the help of my friends), finishing up stall design (with the help of my friends) and jangling with nerves (soothed by my friends)... there’s a theme here. I do love my friends ♥️♥️♥️ (you know who you are!) #diysashikokits #thefinderskeepers

I’m super excited to now be stocked @theselvedgesociety - Sydneysiders, swing by ♥️♥️♥️ . . . Repost @theselvedgesociety with @make_repost ・・・ We are thrilled to add @sewingwithkate to the Selvedge Society family. We have so many customers who have dabbled in sashiko and embroidery lately. Now you can buy a kit to practice this stitch and make this sweet purse all in one. The kit includes all materials needed and is $50 and would make a great Xmas pressie #supportlocal #shoplocal #handcrafted #sashiko #diysashikokits
