Bags of fun
Sophie Lombardi
This year we made the controversial decision not to make stockings. There are so many lovely ones on the market and many mass produced offerings by bigger retailers. If you are hankering after a stocking made from Liberty fabric, I would suggest Folklore Children who are small outfit based in the Lake District.
As an alternative to the stocking we have made some gorgeous linen storage bags. These are available in three lovely patterns: Seaside Stripe ; Granny Smith and Rose Gingham.. They are all lined with cotton and have a generous drawstring by which to hang them up. These storage bags are ideal to hang up for Father Christmas and you can fit rather more loot in them than the usual sized stocking (Generous enough for a Beano annual and a footy!) Stuff a bag with lovely foodie gifts for a friend and forget all the wrapping up, these gorgeous bags also have a long shelf life post Christmas day.
I always take a linen storage bag on holiday of dirty laundry. When I get home, the bag can go into the washing machine with all the stinky smalls ready for it’s next adventure. The bags are also good for general storage such as toys, hats and scarves or just general crap that you don’t have a place in the house for,
Our clever seamstress Kate has made these bags so well, they will survive a good bashing if they are thrown around or taken to school. Support our small business and add one of these beauties to your Christmas shopping list. They will make a lovely, functional gift.
