12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAYS 🎁⁠
⁠
🎄On the tenth day of Christmas, Peppermint gave to me... a DOUBLE RUGS giveaway 🎄⁠

You’re going to want to see this one, Peppermint pals!! Thanks to the fine folks at Double Rugs, we have one washable natural fibre rug crafted from pure New Zealand Wool and organic cotton – valued at $930!

Got kids, dogs, a habit of eating Bolognese in front of the telly? No worries! The Awa New Zealand Washable Wool Rug is ready for all you can throw at it. This low-shed, non-slip rug is the brand’s very first washable, natural-fibre product, crafted with New Zealand wool and organic cotton.

Named “Awa” (the Māori word for river), the design symbolises the flow of fresh water from its source. It’s a collaborative effort, created with very chic design and furniture studio . Honestly, we’re reluctant to part with this one.

For your chance to win a 160x230cm Awa rug in Almond (pictured here in Taupe), head on over to our Instagram page . Good luck!⁠

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. Which means we are entering Party Season. Work parties, friend-dos, family get-togethers and then we’re straight into New Year festivities. If you’re lucky enough, you might be staring down the barrel of a non-stop party palooza – and with nothing to wear!

You might already be looking for The Dress – the one that’s exactly the right cut and colour, that fits you like a glove and is going to make you the absolute belle of the bauble. But you don’t have to pray for the shopping gods to smile upon you if you skip the middleman and sew it yourself.

To help you kickstart your Cinderella moment, we’ve collected 14 of our favourite festive frock patterns for you to peruse to find your perfect Christmas party dress.

Have a Merry Stitchmas with some Snappy New Gear!

"Look, I don’t want to make anyone panic but IT’S DECEMBER!!! If you’re planning to give homemade gifts, you’re going to have to act fast.

I’m a big believer that a DIY gift is the best gift of all, because it isn’t just about the present; it’s about time, consideration and love. A jar of pickles made from tomatoes you grew, a scrunchie sewn with fabric off-cuts, a painting of a pretty flower that you saw on a walk, or a photo of us together in a frame you decorated… STAHP! I love it too much! Bring it to me, friend, because I will treasure it as I should.

So, if your fingers are twitching for some crafting, take a peep at this list of marvellous makes that can be whipped up in a flash. If money and time are slim for you right now – as they are for many of us – these projects will help you avoid the chaos and consumerism of the malls, scratch that creative itch and produce a pressie that won’t break the bank."

Head to our website to check out this fabulous DIY present list curated by our Sewing Coordinator, Laura!
