I got to send out an amazing order on Monday to one of my first ever customers. Someone who had belief in my business way back then and still loves what I do now. This was 2 separate orders that they put in over the weekend. I actually sat and cried so much as the pumpkins have now become a real big part of my business and I love how much you all seem to love them too. Can you count how many I posted out?
Some of these have sold out but don't worry I will be restocking them I just need to order more fabric and make more stalks!

Some of my fabric pumpkin colours are being discontinued. The Autumn leaves pumpkin has now fully sold out and I only have one of the dark seas left in stock and then that will no longer be available.
I've browsed my amazing supplier who stocks the lovely fabric range by Lewis & Irene and these are all the colours they have in stock that I could make pumpkins from in the future, some of them are limited edition fabrics so won't be around for long.
Which colours would like to see as pumpkins? Which colours would you buy as pumpkins? Tell me which numbers you'd choose and why!

Take a look behind the scenes of my small business to see some of the things I get up to. None days are the same, some days no orders need packing so I spend time doing admin jobs first thing and replying to socials but the best bit is the creating time.

1 YEAR AGO
I launched 5 handmade fabric pumpkins scented with cinnamon, star anise and cloves on the 17th august 2025!
1 YEAR LATER
I now have 35 colour options available with 2 being discontinued once sold out (black vine and dark seas) due to fabric unavailability.
I can't believe how much you guys have fallen in love with them. I do have some currently out of stock but don't worry they will be restocked over the next month as I need to order some more of the fabric. Talking of fabrics, I've just looked at the list of colours in the fabric design I have and there are still over 40 I don't have in stock! There are lots of different shades or colours, metallics, etc and with me having to say goodbye to 2 I wondered if you'd love to see more colours?
Do you have a space in your home where one of my pumpkins would fit perfectly? What's your colour scheme? Do you like bold colours, pastels, multi colours, metallics?

I love sharing with you the orders I get to send out and this is one from last week that I posted to a returning customer. They are trying the fabric pumpkins for the first time but just how amazing is this mix of items, anything catch your eye? The autumn falls batik is now out of stock in the scrunchies!

This week I launched lots of new designs including this Christmas highland blue and green check self tie headband.
It's a lovely design and it wasn't until after I made it up I realised how good the plaid/check/tartan design looked in the headband. I do have a christmas red tartan available but I've not made any others as the tartan fabrics I have are polyviscose, which is a more woolly fabric and not right for making the headbands. However, I've noticed a supplier offering some tartans in fabrics I can make into them. So questions I have for you, are you a tartan/plaid/check fan? Would you wear them as headbands like this? What colours would you opt for?

Huge thank you to each and everyone who actually went over to the website and browsed the new range!
The GREEN MUSHROOM design has sold out in the mega and standard and I now only have a headband left!
This launch took me over a week to do and was one of the biggest launches I've done for a while! I also did it all while having pain in my shoulder and arm and pushing myself to get them done for you all. So to those who have taken the time to browse the whole of the new products and look at them it means so much to me.
I took a well deserved rest day yesterday but today I'm packing up your orders and heading them out that door before cracking on with some hand sewing!

Polka Dots are everywhere on clothing at the moment! It seems it's on trend once again in the high street shops!
As a small business I listen to the feedback from my customers and followers and when you asked for me to make the polka dot range into scrunchies as well, I did it! You can now find NAVY, PURPLE, BLACK, RED, CERISE & TURQUOISE in standard size and also BLACK, PURPLE, NAVY & RED in mega size too!
I have also added 2 more colours to the polka dot range in self tie headbands and standard scrunchies and that is BABY BLUE & PINK!
Whatever polka dot colour you choose, I now have it available in both headbands and scrunchies! So tell me, which colour would you choose?
(These are regular items now and will be restocked. If you would prefer them in mini size in the future let me know and I will look at adding them into the range on my next launch).
