Long time no see! A much needed update post is in order.

All group buy orders have now been fulfilled. Thank you to everyone for their patience with the delays! Hopefully things will go smoother in the future. I'm working though all group buy products and making them available to purchase, should be done by the end of the week.

From this point on, all AquaGuard zippers sold are NAUTLON❗NAUTLON is:

- made from recycled polyester tape, which reduces GHG emissions
- PFC free water repellent finish
- cleaner smoother appearance

In the second slide you can see the old (left) vs new (right)

🚨 Christmad Shipping Deadlines 🚨

Royal Mail Second Class's deadline is 18th Dec, so if you're wanting anything for Christmas please order before then to avoid any disappointment. Courier is always an option but I will update the post with these dates.

Tah,

William

We stock a wide range a of thread on our website but so far Tera 60 is the most popular! At a size of Tex 50 it is small enough to fit in domestic sewing machines but still very strong. We have colours to match whatever kind of project your're making! 🧵✂️

The website 🌐 will be open for orders from 10am tomorrow morning‼

Fabric samples have been added to allow you to get a feel of a fabric and see if it will suit your project ✂️🧵

Would you like to see any other samples such as webbing, elastic, binding and thread? Let me know in the comments 👇

All finishing touches will be made before then.

One thing to add, due to unforeseen circumstances the courier shipping prices are not finalised. I have chosen to use a flat rate of £6 for non rolled items and £13 for rolled items. These rates may go up or down dependant on the cost of the courier service. Once known I will make an update clarifying.
