Girls Night In
Who doesn’t love a girls night in once in a while? Whether it’s a quiet one on your own with a bath full of bubbles, a rejuvenating face mask and a good box set (we are entering Gilmore Girls season here) or an evening with your friends, eating pizza and popcorn with a glass of wine and your comfies. We could all do with a little time for that right?
Well this box is dedicated to just that! We have some gorgeous, luxurious fabrics inside these boxes so let’s dive straight in.
Luxury Box
Oh my goodness this fabric… a stunning, high quality, medium weight viscose satin from Fabric Godmothers “Bardot” range. Think hen party robes, luxurious full length pyjamas, spa days… this is truly a “treat your self” fabric. I’ve paired it with the Named Clothing Lahja Dressing Gown a unisex pattern that comes in two lengths. Make it in this satin for a touch of glamour or make it in something cosy for the winter – you could even make a matching set or use it to start your gift sewing if you were so inclined!
Classic and Mini Boxes
We have gone for pure comfort in the Classic and Mini boxes this month with a sumptuously soft viscose jersey in a bright pink abstract pattern. Whether you turn this into a comfy pair of PJs for lounging in or make something more daytime appropriate you’ll still be hitting those “secret pyjamas” vibes we all love.
Let the fabric do the talking with a simple t-shirt or t-shirt dress. The stretch content makes it perfect for a wrap style, or you’d be the coolest in a yoga class with a pair of easy to wear leggings or loose fit joggers.
The Supplementary fabric in the Luxury and Classic Boxes is 1m of a timeless print; a pin-spot georgette. Sticking with the girls night in theme this fabric would make a gorgeous eye mask, hair scarf or a cute set of scrunchies. A slightly tricker fabric to work with, georgette likes to fray. So whatever you choose I recommend keeping things simple with minimal seams and make sure to finish them properly – French seams are ideal if you don’t have an overlocker.
This month we have a beautiful gift from Becky’s Sewing Studio, a set of 6 pink heart acrylic buttons which were all laser cut by hand in Becky’s studio in Wiltshire not far from SHJ HQ! These little pearly beauties are in the Classic and Luxury boxes and will be the perfect finishing touch to all sorts of projects!
If all that wasn’t enough, every box also included 2m of a mini pompom trim in either black or pink, 100m reel of Gutermann thread, a delicious chocolate truffle and of course the SewHayleyJane magazine full on inspiration.
