The Passing Collective

September 15, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 2 Comments

We are really excited to tell you about an exciting new initiative – The Passing Collective. It was created by Kate Kirkwood of Hug Me Harry & Jodie Maloni of The Haby Goddess in June 2012 to help promote online businesses, including their own, by working together as a collective group. They recently had a Pop-Up Shop and have just launched their fabulous Spring Catalogue – which has a magical selection of wonderful gift ideas from a talented range of Australian artisans and small businesses.

The Passing Collective Ultimate Online Shopping Guide
Here is a peak at some of the lovely things you will find in the catalogue –

Craft supplies, kits, and more.



There are beautiful and unique gifts for babies and kids, for crafty types, for friends, and for yourself! In fact, you will find something for everyone on your list.




Toys, home décor items, jewellery, and so much more.




We know that on-one wants to hear the “C” word just yet, but you do realise that it will be here in just over three months. Now is the time to get organised and start your online shopping. Please consider buying handmade and from small businesses this year!



Some of our top reasons for buying handmade include:
  • Products are original, unique, and creative
  • Items are not mass produced and are more environmentally friendly
  • Feels good to support artisans, small business and your local community
  • Handmade items have a high quality and they are made with love and care
  • We love to avoid busy Shopping Centres at Christmas
  • We want to keep the crafting and design industry alive




If you have an online business, The Passing Collective are always on the look out for other online businesses to work with and they have many exciting projects in the pipeline. Kate and Jodie have a new facebook page to keep you in the loop for upcoming events and can be contacted via email at  info@thepassingcollective.com
Make yourself a cup of tea and have a browse through the Catalogue!

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I am agreeing that this is a great way to do my Christmas shopping (sorry if the C word sends anyone into a panic).

Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a piece of fabric they're a little afraid to cut into.

You know the one.

The fabric that's too pretty, too special, or waiting for the perfect project.

I've certainly been guilty of saving beautiful Liberty fabrics for "someday". But over the years I've realised something:

The joy isn't in owning the fabric.

The joy is in turning it into something you'll use, display, gift, or enjoy every day.

Some of my favourite sewing projects began with a Liberty fabric I was hesitant to cut into. Looking back, I've never regretted using it. The only fabrics I've regretted are the ones that sat folded away for years waiting for the perfect moment.

Beautiful fabric deserves to become something beautiful.
