Handmade Christmas Present Ideas
Cushions and much, much more!
We all have one person who is impossible to buy for. This year why not make them a Christmas gift? A cushion, lampshade or bag make a lovely present. The artwork for our cushion panels is all done by local artists and then we reproduce the image digitally onto fabric. They obviously make up into beautiful cushions but could also be used to make a bag, quilt or be mounted onto a canvas and used as a piece of art.
