Now for the fun bit… deciding what goes where 😍

Each individual square is individually interfaced. This ensures every item is robust and hard wearing, ensuring you have years of use and enjoyment

Choosing fabrics for my next make… my favourite part of the process. It can take a looonnnngg time 😜

I can’t quite believe it, but 9 years ago today was day Thistle Fairy Designs was born. This was the first of many new bags off to its new home 🥰

Dare I mention the C word… robins, not just for Christmas 🥰
