The makers of homes 

From cosy corners where you settle in to stitch to whole rooms dedicated to storing your stash; from the train seat where you craft on your commute to the safe circle of crafters you create with – our making environments might look a little different, but they all feel like home to us.

We’re celebrating the makers of homes and the homes that make us with amazing makes.

Cosy up your craft corner

There’s nothing quite as homely as getting comfy in your favourite spot and getting stuck into a project. Give your creative space a little upgrade with a cool and colourful blanket to keep you cosy while you craft.

Make space for your stash

As the age old saying goes: ‘tidy house, tidy mind’. While the tidy house part might not always be possible, you can always have a tidy stash! Have a crafty clearout and we bet you’ll unearth yarns and materials you never knew you had – and you’ll clear space for new additions! 

What better way to organize your yarns and materials than in handmade baskets and storage containers? Not only will they look gorgeous in your home, they’ll also save you time rummaging through a tangle of yarn! 

Save the planet

At LoveCrafts, we’re always thinking of ways we can be kinder to the planet, and that doesn't stop when we go home. We’re all about finding ways we can do away with the old and disposable, and bring in the new and reusable. 

From the bedroom to the kitchen, there are so many household items that could be used time and time again, and lots of them can be knitted, crocheted or crafted super fast with materials you’ve got sitting in your stash. 

Get creative and see how many disposable items that you're using daily, you could make instead. It’s the little changes that add up and make a real difference.  

For eco-friendly makes, we love Paintbox’s super environmentally friendly yarns made from materials that would otherwise go to waste, but are instead gathered and spun into gorgeous yarns.

Feeling inspired to fill your home with gorgeous handmade makes? We've got heaps of amazing patterns to inspire you!

Neat needlecraft homewares

We're totally obsessed with all things embroidered and cross stitched at the moment! We have Jenni embroidering an aquatic scene onto napkins, Jo making an awesome framed embroidery piece, meanwhile, Yaz is mastering our top ten embroidery stitches. The beauty of embroidery and cross stitch is that you can work your design onto most homewares - think tablecloths, napkins and cushion covers - you name it, it's time to get creative makers!
