Cactus Cushion
Lifestyle and Design blogger, Emily Loeffelman, posted this sewing project several years ago but it seems that the succulent trend just isn't going away. We love making concrete pots to display our cacti, finding beautiful succulent inspired fabrics and planting our own pots to make pretty little cactus corners in our homes... but this cacti cushion takes the craze one step further and we love it!!

Fabric Storage Drawers
Hide away all of your jumpers, hats and scarves in these fabric storage boxes! Practical and pretty - what's not to love? We love Torie Jayne's stylish home sewing ideas on her blog and her lovely book; you could opt for the soft pastel patterns that Torie has used here, try it with some simple complimentary colours or even find a bold patterned fabric that brings the room to life.

Pot Holder and Oven Mitt
While we hope you'll be out in the garden all summer eating picnics and BBQ food, there's always a rainy day or a busy evening where you have to put something in the oven. With this quirky homemade pot holder and oven mitt, you can make your oven-cooked dinners in style and bake some beautiful cakes for outdoor afternoon tea!

Pineapple Wall Hanging
Just as the cactus trend sees no sign of fading, our love of tropical fruit is here to stay too! You can't walk through a trendy shop without seeing a pineapple ornament and we love fabrics covered in watermelons, strawberries and avocados; so why not make your own pineapple wall hanging so that you can put your own personal touch on this fruity trend?
