I bought these as gifts for my grand daughters. They absolutely loved them. Really made.
I have always loved Kate Bowles mini books. Beautifully made and ideal for carrying in your handbag / pocket to make notes or little sketches. Some even have little envelopes in for treasures you find along the way ! Great gifts to give to special people too.

The paper treat box really is a great treat. I love the Italian paper scissors and the gorgeous Japanese mechanical pencil. The handmade wooden handle awl is of great quality. I have always wanted the metal ruler for cutting and protecting your fingers. Handmade twine and quality papers and tapes The box is great value for money. I also got a gift of Beyond Measure 10 Year Tote and pencil. Thank you so much for those. I highly recommend this box full of goodies.
Tweed Bundle - Custom Made For You
I’ve bought all issues bar one of Tauko (sportswear wasn’t my bag) and can find at least two patterns I’d like to try from each edition. From Tauko No17, I like Sukaria and Dia and the piece on pin tucks by Raphaëlle Bonamy was extremely helpful so shall try this technique. I’m always delighted with the service from Beyond Measure and am very happy to order from this brilliant business in the North.
Daruma Yokota Sashiko Thread Fine colours are beautiful and the thread lovely to work with. Good price and delivery. Really pleased with my purchase.
