Makes for Mother’s Day


Although the weather these past few days may not feel like it, we’re practically in the first month of spring! With March’s arrival comes a very important day – Mother’s Day. If you’re thinking of making something handmade for Mum, you’re in the right place!

Wrapping up

With the temperatures taking a dive, a lovely scarf would make a fabulous gift! We’ve got plenty of patterns to inspire you, but one of our favourites is Simplicity 9658. Complete with hat and gloves, choose a cosy fabric to make the most of this pattern.

If your Mum enjoys a more luxe look, why not try Vogue 9291? Choose from a shawl or stole for an extra-special gift.

Accessorise

Is your Mum a keen stitcher too? Why not stitch up something to help organise her craft room? With Simplicity 9404, create hanging storage, as well as storage cases and a machine cover and more.

If she’s more of a food-lover, try Simplicity 9878 for a Plush stand with weighted base that holds most phones with ease for easy recipe viewing. And a book weight is a handy helper to keep recipe book pages open. Quilted trivet has mushroom applique motifs and bias tape finishing.

Of course, not forgetting new mothers this March – try your hand at one of our baby patterns, to make something special. Stitch up an adorable baby grow with McCall’s 8315, or a nursing outfit using S9556.
