Why I’m supporting Together Co
Brighton Stitch grew from my love of making, beautiful textiles and giving existing materials another life. But it is also very much a Brighton business, so supporting an organisation doing valuable work within the local community feels like a natural fit.
Together Co works to reduce loneliness and social isolation by helping people make connections and build relationships. Through the Good Gift Guide, buying something handmade and useful can also make a small contribution to that work.

Each pouch is made by me in Brighton in small numbers, often using reclaimed, vintage or repurposed textiles. 10% of every pouch sale is donated.
A one-of-a-kind quilted patchwork pouch inspired by the dramatic orange sunsets seen from my Brighton studio.
Rich orange tones combine with playful prints and carefully pieced patchwork to create a practical pouch full of warmth and character. Each fabric has been individually chosen and quilted, bringing together repurposed textiles and remnants that might otherwise have gone unused.
Inside, Big Sunset is fully lined in Liberty of London lawn cotton and softly structured for everyday use. Its generous size makes it ideal for toiletries, sewing supplies, stationery, chargers, a small sketchbook or the everyday essentials you like to keep together.
Like all Brighton Stitch pieces, Big Sunset is handmade in Brighton using thoughtfully chosen reclaimed and repurposed textiles. Because I work with existing cloth rather than producing fabric to order, each piece is individual.
