Fat Quarter Make; Hand Warmers

This month’s project is a super simple one, but also absolutely perfect for the colder months. They only use small amounts of fabric, so a perfect scrap busting make. They also make adorable gifts - tie them up with a ribbon or sew up a drawstring bag (like the one in September’s magazine) and you’re good to go.

Fat Quarter Make; Notebook Cover

’ve always loved stationery - pretty pens and pencils, rainbow coloured highlighters, fun-shaped erasers but especially notebooks and journals. I have SO many dotted around the house, as whenever I see a cute one, I tend to buy it.
