Resurgence of Handmade

Handmade Crafts Having a Comeback

It is lovely to see that ‘Handmade’ is back. We all put so much love into making our favourite patterns of Knitted, Crochet and Sewing projects that we gift to family and close friends.

In the past few months, lots of customers are loving Handmade Items. It’s great to see.

I’m talking Handmade Crochet, Knitted & Sewn;

  • Quilts
  • Rugs
  • Toys
  • Teapot Wraps
  • Table Centres
  • Clothing
  • Coasters
  • Dish Cloths

Whatever you can think of.

Why?

Well, here is my theory.

We see the same old toys in the toy stores, the same clothing similar to last years.  It’s all the same items we are seeing or have bought previously. In this disposable world the rubbish sites are full of cheap throw-away items.

That is why at the moment…….it’s all about Unique, One-Off Items that make a gift special and will be treasured for many years to come.

The price is important of course.  It has to be at just the right price. Trust your instincts when choosing Handmade items, consider the amount of time that the maker has spent and the quality of the materials used.

Below are Handmade Items we have been making and selling on our website. Edit: Sorry to say, most have sold now. There is a link under ‘Blair’s Vest’ for a pattern.

Between the 3 of us Blue Box Girls, we have been busy whipping out some Handmades!
