The Fabric Godmother Dream Wardrobe commission
When Josie from Fabric Godmother first got in touch about including Thread Pegs in their July Dream Wardrobe boxes, I'll be honest - I was absolutely thrilled. And then slightly terrified when I realized just how many boxes they send out each month!
Over 300 custom bobbin holders needed to be handmade, quality-checked, and ready to ship. No pressure, right?
A Partnership That Made Sense
Fabric Godmother has built something really special with their Dream Wardrobe subscription boxes. Each month, their subscribers receive carefully curated fabric, patterns, and notions - everything needed to create a complete garment. It's such a thoughtful way to discover new designs and expand your sewing skills.
It was a chat with Josie at the Stitch Festival back in March that started the idea of using my smaller products as a gift within the Dream Wardrobe box.
The bobbin boards were a good fit for the subscription box as most sewers do not have a dedicated bobbin storage within their sewing space. And these are genuinely functional pieces that keep your bobbins organised, visible, and easy to grab when you're in the middle of a project.
Each one is handmade here in my workshop using quality materials that are built to last. Because if there's one thing I believe in, it's that sewing tools should be practical and useful.
Made for Sewists by a Sewist
Fabric Godmother mentioned my motto in their July box reveal: "Made for sewists by a sewist." It's something I truly believe in.
I know what it's like to have bobbins rolling around in a drawer, thread colours tangled together, or to spend ages hunting for the right shade when you're ready to sew. I make Thread Pegs because these are the tools I wanted for my own workspace - simple, functional, and actually helpful.
Having Josie and the Fabric Godmother team recognise that and want to share Thread Pegs with their community means the world to me.
The feedback has been lovely - people appreciating the handmade quality, the functionality, and yes, that they actually look nice sitting on a sewing table. Because why shouldn't our practical tools also bring us joy?
