October's project is all about slowing down, getting cosy and enjoying the simple pleasure of making something beautiful with your hands. This month, we'll be working with natural cotton cord to create a stylish macramé bag that's as practical as it is lovely to make.

Inspired by crisp autumn walks, warm neutral tones and the comforting textures of the season, October's project brings a little bit of slow crafting into your everyday life. Think soft natural fibres, simple knots and a beautifully tactile project that's perfect for settling down with on a cosy evening.

Macramé is such a wonderfully mindful craft. There's something incredibly satisfying about working your way through each knot, watching the pattern gradually take shape in your hands. It's the kind of project you can really lose yourself in – a welcome excuse to put the kettle on, find a comfy spot and spend some uninterrupted time being creative.

And this isn't just something pretty to make and admire. Your finished project will be a useful handmade bag, with a few thoughtful details that make it feel extra special. We're keeping the final look under wraps for now, but let's just say it's one you'll be reaching for long after you've finished making it.

What's in the Box

Everything you need to get started on your macramé project is included:

• Natural cotton macramé cord
• Natural wooden rings
• A white cotton drawstring bag
• Plus everything you need to transform these simple materials into something completely your own

Each component has been carefully chosen to create a project that's relaxing to make, beautiful to look at and practical enough to enjoy every day.

A Little Autumn Slowdown

As the evenings draw in and the air starts to feel a little crisper, October feels like the perfect time to slow down and make space for creativity.

There's something especially lovely about crafting with natural materials at this time of year. The gentle rhythm of tying knots, the softness of the cotton cord and the gradual transformation from a handful of simple materials into something useful all make this a wonderfully calming project.

So grab your favourite mug, put your feet up and settle in for some cosy macramé time. We can't wait to show you exactly what we've been making. ✨
