Welcome.
I’m Caroline from Destasher.
How did YOU get into sewing or yarn crafting?
We all have a story.
For me, the hum of sewing machines was the soundtrack of childhood. My gran taught my mum, who taught me when I was 12.
An amazing thing happens when ‘making’: you slip into this immersive state. Time disappears and every stitch, stroke, or idea seems to flow effortlessly. You know what I mean?
My first of many lockdown makes: The Frau Meta dress.
But making comes with costs. Materials aren’t cheap, and then there’s their impact on the planet. I started looking for preloved fabrics and supplies… but it’s not that easy!
Charity shops are fab if you’re lucky. Online marketplaces are huge, but vague search tools make it so tedious. Groups on social media? Great, but inconsistent and tricky to navigate.
Meanwhile, leftovers pile up. Crafting is great… but drowning in scraps? Not so much.
Maybe the solution is to join forces — sharing what we’ve got and sparking new ideas together.
Picture it: a single, easy-to-use space where makers can find what they need, shift what they don’t, all with search tools tailored to creatives like us.
A place to connect and share ideas. Even schools, designers, and small creative businesses can offer or grab affordable materials, showcase their work, and support the wider creative community.
It’s coming in March 2026.
