Busy busy busy sewing journals! I've been making the most of my rescued leather by combining sections and sewing them together. I love this look and it makes them even more unique.

🪙 Price increases 🪙
This is one thing I really hate to do; especially at the moment, when everything is more expensive. But that's just it: everything is more expensive! For example, this is the paper I use to make my handmade journals. It's crept up slowly over the past year or so, from just over £4... and a pad like this now costs £5.30. So, I've had to adjust some of my prices to factor this in. Hopefully, you won't notice too much - I've kept the rises as small as possible, often just 25p or 50p per item. Thanks so much for reading to the end (if indeed you did 😆) and for supporting my small business.
