Holiday Magic in the Studio: Festive Makes & Fresh Inspiration

The studio has taken on that unmistakable holiday glow — the scent of cocoa in the air, fresh cork prints stacked like wrapped gifts, and Advent Boxes opening one by one as inspiration sparkles across the worktables. This time of year, always brings a sense of wonder, but this season feels especially heartfelt as we look back at the creativity shared within our community.

New Makes for a Cozy Season

Festive new arrivals have been filling the shelves this week, each one radiating its own kind of cheer. The Sewist Building Block Set has sparked joyful nostalgia, while our newest Beanie has kept the team warm as we film tutorials and prepare year-end projects. The Festive Stripe Cabernet Webbing is already being stitched into gift bags and holiday accents around the studio, adding that classic stripe of merriment that never goes out of style.

One project that has quickly become a seasonal favorite is our Wooden Thread Spool Garland. There’s something magical about transforming tiny scraps of cork or fabric into a charming piece of décor. It’s a celebration of the little pieces we save, the memories tied to each print, and the joy of creating something whimsical from supplies right at home.

Designer Cork Spotlight: Arcane Aegis

This week, we’re thrilled to introduce our newest cork print: Arcane Aegis, designed by Jessica Rose of Quiltd Studios. The design weaves intricate shapes and storytelling details into a print that feels both elegant and enigmatic. Jessica’s exclusive behind-the-scenes video explores her inspiration, offering a beautiful look into how this remarkable design came to life.

A Fresh Start With Bloomwood

The Bloomwood Storage Cubes are stepping into the spotlight as we look ahead to a refreshed and organized new year. Whether you're tidying up your craft space or creating stylish storage for winter accessories, these cubes offer a cheerful and functional way to begin 2026 with clarity and creativity.
