Creative stitching - a review and giveaway

You'll know by now how much I love handmade items, so I was really pleased to be asked to host a giveaway for Creative Stitching.

If, like me you're looking for an original gift, made with care and love, but lack both the time and skill to make it yourself then this is the place to come!  Creative Stitching started out about 10 years ago selling at craft fairs and since then they have also moved to an online store.

Only using top quality fabrics, threads and card mounts, the products are made by hand, in small quantities so you can be sure that you will receive a bespoke item created just for you. With friendly and helpful service, they are happy to create special orders from their huge range of designs and fabrics - you only have to get in touch and ask!

I love the range of bunting - perfect for parties and room decoration.  Starting at £11.95, it's one of the most reasonably priced range of bunting I've seen.

There's plenty to appeal to boys; girls and lovers of shabby chic.

                                                                                                                  

Now it’s September, I feel safe to mention the ‘C’ word! Creative Stitching has some adorable Christmas items, including a range of hand stitched tree decorations.

These are real keepsake items, and decorations to be treasured for years to come. Right on trend with the current hand-made vibe, I can’t decide which are my favourites. Maybe the gingerbread man…

Or the gingham heart?  From only £3.00 each you can splash out on a few!

Or maybe the handmade advent calendars will take your fancy?  Made to last for year after year, fill the pockets with sweets or treats for a truly tailor made advent experience.

Creative Stitching have kindly offered me one of their handmade children's aprons to giveaway to one lucky reader.  The winner will be able to choose any apron they wish from the range of great designs for boys and girls, like this robot one.

We love aprons in this house, and Ruby already has a collection of 4 different ones (she'll be giving me a run for my money soon!) Perfect to pop on to protect clothing when helping in the kitchen; baking; crafting and painting - you can never have too many aprons!
