Owl House Family

“This sewing kit makes three surprisingly sophisticated owls.”

Selvedge, March/April 2009

“Buttonbag has a wonderful little sewing kit, the Felt Jewellery Sewing Kit, £8; more crafty than dressmakey perhaps, but it contains everything needed to make some beaded corsages and brooches, so is a good introduction to sewing as it encompasses cutting out and a touch of decorative sewing. (There's also an owl kit, which is adorable if that's your granddaughter's sort of thing.) Have fun!”

Original Peg Doll Kit

“These kits include the where-with-all to make six peg dolls, including fairy, princess, knight and pirate. There’s plenty of sparkling sequins, chainmail, wool, lace and ribbons as well as old fashioned pegs. The younger ones can stick and wrap their costumes while the older ones can use the needle and thread provided.”

“In the market to become a millionaire? Get your own stall and you may not make a fortune, but it could be a tidy living. The trick, as Sarah Marks and Patrick Collinson explain, is to be crafty and creative”
