5 Stitchy Gifts For Palentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is generally a time for couples to celebrate their love – but have you heard of Palentine’s Day? This recently-created holiday falls on February 13th and encourages people to celebrate the other, equally important relationship with their best friends. Why not organise a fun get-together where you can present your BFFs with a gift to show just how much they mean to you? Here are just a few ideas to get you started.


1 For the home spa lover…
Whip up this cute pair of slippers and sleep mask for a pamper session at home – in fact, why not make several sets and hand them out to all your friends for a girlie night of Netflix and chill? You’ll find all the instructions here.


2 For the globe trotter…
Make plane journeys more comfortable with a neck rest complete with a handy pocket to pop in a relaxing lavender sachet, plus a matching make-up bag for travel essentials. All instructions can be found here.


3 For spectacle wearers..
“My best friend is always losing her glasses, so I would sew her a luxurious pouch from an upcycled cashmere jumper with an appliqué flower on the front,” says Sew designer Ellen Kharade. “This is based on a Mother’s Day project of mine, that also features a matching nail scissors holder.” Find the instructions for both here.


4 For the serious shopaholic…
Those who enjoy indulging in some retail therapy will love this reversible tote bag, sewn in bold, bright prints! The design is a handy fold away style, so can easily be slipped into a handbag, ready for an impromptu purchase. Find how to make this here.


5 For those who like the personal touch…
“Most of my good friends enjoy a gift that’s personal to them,” says Sew designer Corinne Bradd. “Rather than a traditional monogram, I like to embroider meaningful messages, quirky quotes or motifs relating to a hobby onto cushions, cosmetic bags and pouches. If the words can reflect an ‘in joke’ or a recent experience, even better!” Keen photographers would love Corinne’s camera pouch, which you can find here.
