Another two great pouches for my bottomless collection. I love how Mel repurposes fabric and colour coordinates with other fabrics. Super!

I couldn’t resist this little pincushion, donkey braying to come live with me. Very well made and upcycled egg cup.

I so love this cute little pincushion and it has been made with care and detail

Absolutely beautiful thank you

Beautiful cushion as usual. I can highly recommend the quality of Mel's work and the customer service is excellent.

5 stars and more, could not be happier. The cushion covers are simply divine, expertly made, so beautiful, and seller was a joy to deal with.

Another excellent purchase from Aquila Crafts. I love how she upcycles tapestries and fabrics and such attention to complementing the colours in the different corduroy sections. Excellent communication and fast delivery.

More excellent pouches for my collection and gifting.

A beautifully made tote bag by Mel. I love the colours of the recycled fabric. Proving to be useful as well as lovely looking.

Delighted with my purchase . Very well sewn .Love the main fabric and contrasting fabric used . Bought it as a lumbar support cushion for a fabulous antique chair we’ve upcycled in Frenchic paint. Prompt delivery. Thank you .

I love this beautiful handcrafted bag. It looks just like the photos. It is my second purchase from this talented maker and will not be my last. Many thanks!

An absolutely gorgeous pincushion. The embroidery is so neat and the bee is the cutest detail ever.
It is a charming addition to my craft corner.

Gorgeous little pincushion insert for my vintage eggcup that was my dad's as a child. As it was precious, Mel suggested not posting it to her, and she used the measurements and photo I sent. She created a beautifully embroidered and well stuffed top that fits perfectly, without the need for glue.
Looking forward to using it every day.

This zip bag is gorgeous. Quality materials, well made and packaged beautifully. Arrived very quickly. Thanks Mel for fantastic products and great customer service. 5 stars!

I'm so happy to be able to display an old egg cup that belonged to my Grandma many years as a pincushion. Such beautiful dainty hand embroidery on the pin cushion pad and so easy to add to my egg cup. Thank you so much Mel. Louise x
