Peg Bags
I’m very grateful to Liz, loyal GreenPinnies customer (& proprietor of the wonderful ‘Cook* Live* Dream’ shop on Bridge St, Berwick), & early mentor for me, for the idea & the original design sketch for these traditional peg-bags.
£15 – £25
Rice-filled frogs
A straight lift from a much-loved 1980s needle-case. If lavender (or other herb) is added to the filling, these are lovely to keep on a bedside table.
Available in:

- or a ready-to-make kit, comprising cut-out fabric back & front, rice filling, pair of eyes, + pattern to make more: £6.
