Hot-bowl goals! 🧵⁠
⁠
Winter is finally here in our part of the world so bowl cosies are on repeat. Say hey to every hot meal’s new BFF – a fun (and functional) bowl cosy, created by our lovely Sewing Manager, Laura, for @Spoonflower back in 2023. The cosy can go into the microwave with your bowl, so there’s no need for a pot holder or tea towel to remove your hot dish. It’s the DIY you didn’t know you needed in your life! ⁠
⁠
Beautiful for the home and a great gift, this satisfyingly quick sewing project will have you turning out bowl cosies by the bundle. It’s a great scrap-buster for those clever quilters too!⁠
⁠

(And yes, we only had plain rice on hand when doing this shoot - it's been an in-house joke ever since 😆)⁠

You belong 🌈

This beautiful video from @OsloPride shows how important it is to be an ally.

From @OsloPride:

“There is a lot of talk about why the rainbow colours mean nowadays. The answer is quite simple:
Showing who you are - or who you stand with - is not just decoration. It means there is space for you, that you belong, and that you are safe.” 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

#YouBelong #PrideMonth #Pride #LGBTQI+ #TransLivesMatter #QueerPride #QueerAlly

Happy Pride month, friends! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It’s not an easy time for our queer mates, as their very existence is under threat by authoritarian regimes trying to undo years of progress. Queer folk are entitled to live, laugh, love and BE who they want to be. Be an ally and stand for love. Stand for joy. Stand for inclusivity and diversity.

From TransPainter:

Remember this #PrideSeason that your existence is resistance.

Spread that queer joy far and wide my rainbow friend. The world needs us more than ever.

Mini? Midi? Maxi? Go your own way!

The fab folk at @WeftAndWarpFabrics have created a video to show you how to lengthen the Peppermint Acacia A-line Skirt pattern! Check out the link in their bio for the detailed video of how to go about it.
