Who are we?

Two local Girls from Stevenston in North Ayrshire who share a passion for recycling reclaimed items such as textiles and small household furnishings. We have set up this non-profit Social Enterprise to share our work with others.

What do we do?

We create items such as bags, pouffes’, quilts and much more using reclaimed clothes, bedding and scrap materials that are reusable.

Why do we do it?

We want to share our passion for what we do with people across our communities to share the fun learning and open up new ideas to people who may have never considered using a sewing machine or recycling reclaimed items.
