The Countdown is On: Botanica Bags Are Almost Here!
We’re back in the UK after a blissful two-week family break in Montenegro, and while I expected to dive straight back into work, the universe had other plans – flu, bed rest, and plenty of repeat episodes of The Great British Sewing Bee. Watching the contestants work their magic in hours reminded me just how different TV sewing is from real life.
At Bobbin & Spool, we never rush. Each Botanica Bag is carefully made to last: accurate cutting, matched patterns, reinforced seams, secure zips – these bags aren’t throwaway items. They’re made to brighten your step and handle the pressures of daily life while staying beautiful and durable.
Much like the Bee, Bobbin & Spool celebrates the joy of making, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Whether you’re a keen sewer or have never picked up a needle, you can still share in that joy – by owning something made with patience, purpose, and a little bit of you in it.
Here’s how you can get involved:
Design Your Own Bag – Coming soon to the website. Pick your bag type, fabrics, and webbing, then let me create your one-of-a-kind piece.
Join a Workshop – Autumn workshops are beginner-friendly and focused on repurposing old fabrics. Bring along old duvet covers, curtains, or dresses, and let’s transform them together. Tea and biscuits included – Patrick and Esme optional.
Exclusive Preview of Botanica Bags – Only 25 have been made, and each is unique. Join the waitlist for early access and first dibs. The first 3 purchases will also receive a matching handmade gift.
These bags are about more than style – they’re about craftsmanship, sustainability, and the pride of owning something truly special. Don’t miss your chance to own a Botanica Bag – once they’re gone, they’re gone.
