Something New!

Hi everyone

SOMETHING NEW!

You may have already seen these on Facebook or as an email subscriber to the website,

 also sharing the details here today. 

Really excited about moving the website into new craft areas including

knitting and sewing.  I noticed at the trade show in Birmingham

how popular knitting and sewing is so I'm definitely branching out in that

area but please do not worry - also keeping die cutting and papercraft too.

The new kits available are dog jumper knitting kits and also

sewing kits to make dog bow ties and a stylish shirt collar.

 The knitting kits are superb, comes with everything you need -

Donegal yarn, knitting needles, sewing needle and a choice of two patterns

within each kit.

The kits are available in different sizes from Dachshund to Whippet,

check the product description for sizing and also worth mentioning

that they come in two designs - Rib and Stripe or

Tweed and Cable and two choices of colours -

pink and natural, turqouise and natural.

As soon as the kits arrived I enlisted the help of my Nan to knit Bella 

a jumper, here she is modelling 

Tiny Dog Rib and Stripe - Pink

and also assuming this meant a walk in the woods!

You can check out all the Dog Wear Craft Kits here.

Back soon with more new items and projects.
