We are an online shop only, but are open by appointment if you would like to see what’s on offer. Please make your appointment at least one day in advance, as the room is also used for other purposes and may not be accessible. The best way to contact us is to ring or text 0776 6600822. Also, if you could let us know what you are interested in we can make sure it is available to view, as some bolts of fabric, for example, may be in current use in our workroom. We can supply tea, speciality coffee and cake (Kathi used to bake for a local cafe and makes great cakes!) whilst you browse materials in our dining room-cum-workshop space, for a donation to charity. For updates on regular open days follow us on Facebook.

As well as selling fabrics we sell many handmade gifts, currently we make around 100 different designs of reusable sandwich wraps and we have face masks in more than 250 designs for sale, in different sizes and styles, some more funky than others. We also sell everything you need to make your own face masks – and much more besides!

All our face masks are washable and in the fitted style, as we believe this gives the best protection by eliminating gaps. Made from good quality tightly woven 100% cotton outer and lining, with a synthetic, non-woven interlining. All our masks have a sturdy adjustable nose wire, overhead elastic to go around the head and a toggle to create a snug fit around the edges (we can also supply soft ear loop elastic and soft nose wires if preferred, please let us know). Overhead elastic is often preferred by people wearing hearing aids or glasses. As well as using Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified cotton in a lot of our masks we are starting to use more certified organic cotton now, so watch this space!

If you can’t decide on what size or style to buy, read this post about sizing.

Whilst our standard (medium) adult sized face mask fits most people, our large reversible face mask which you see in the video is a good fit for people with longer chins or beards. The medium reversible masks are available in a standard shape as well as a roomier version, making them more suitable for larger noses!

Either choose from the designs listed here or choose a fabric (or two for the reversible design) from our range, add your face mask in either three layer medium, large or reversible layer style to the basket, and leave a comment about your choice of fabric(s) in the comments box at checkout. Will be made up within 24-48 hours of your order. You can even send us your own fabric, but check with us about the suitability of the material first!

All our masks are made to a high standard by a small (mother and son) team in the Scottish Borders. Our first priority is that you have a mask which is a good fit for you and we will try and help you choose the right style and size. Please get in touch. Also, if the mask you ordered does not work for you, do get in touch. Often there is a simple solution to your issue and we have yet to come across a problem which we have been unable to solve!

You can find out more about the face masks in one of our latest posts.
