Pods of joy and love

by | 6 February 2022 | Hobbies, Retford

In these days of gloom we could all do with a little pod of joy, kindness and love and that is this month’s make inspiration from Retford Textiles Group.

These storage pods are a delightful way to display basic stationery items, sewing materials, jewels or even for gifting to that special Valentine. Being reusable, they are also environmentally friendly.

Made from two circles of felt, they can be decorated with a variety of hand stitches, beads, stick on jewels or tiny buttons – mostly from your existing stash at home if you sew or craft. Using contrasting felt colours adds another dimension to your design, as does using felting which has texture.
