Hello everyone!
I have been trying to get to my laptop for the last week to send out an email to all you lovely customers; We have been inundated with sales of ELASTIC and attempts to write anything at all have been constantly interrupted by another sale at the counter!
The good news is we had our best week EVER last week. The sad news is I have sold out of 3mm and 6mm wide elastic – but I do still have a good supply of hat elastic in both black and white, and plenty of wider elastic 10mm and up.
We have several great free patterns for face masks on the counter and they have been rocking out the door. I must say I’m quite impressed with some people’s creativity when it comes to making such things – I also admire the determination of those who confess to not being a sewist but want to give it a go anyway!
I haven’t got to making a set of masks for myself yet, aside from a quick sample or 2 whipped up in the last lockdown. Any requests from my family will just have to wait until things settle down a bit!
You can access a free pattern on one of these websites below if you still need to make your own facemask.

We are of course trying to encourage social distancing and use of hand sanitiser in the shop, and ask that if you have downloaded the NZ COVID TRACER that you use it to record your visit to our store.
We have a huge supply of Fat Quarters that have also needed replenishing daily with so many sales, but its a great opportunity to sell some of our older stock at reduced prices, so we have a table with some good specials at the moment – 5 FQ’s for $20, some half metre rolls for $8.50 and some lovely 1 metre bargains less than half price @$15.00 |
