  5. totally LOVE the urban prairie dress- reminds me of one I had when I was little!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  13. I have many of your patterns. Most recently made the composition covers. My grandchildren LOVE them as they always have a pen and pencil handy. My sister uses hers for her knitting journal.

  14. I love the style of Indigo Junction patterns.
    I have made several clothing items and my sewing friends ALWAYS ask me “What pattern is that?”

  20. I teach children at the local library to make hand sewn dolls, my pattern is called POCKET PALS, and would love to have the pattern for the yoyo dolls, they would love them.
    Being a senior, I have trouble finding comfortable underwear, and would love that pattern advertised as”unmentionables”.
    Thanks for your generosity.

  22. My dsis just gave me an Indygo Junction pattern for a bag made from blue jeans. She won it in as a door prize and thought it looked to difficult for her meager sewing skills. I think that was just an excuse–she really wants me to make the bag for her. LOL! In fact, the pattern is very clear and easy to follow. I just need to go to some yard sales this weekend and look for jeans.

  24. I was just drooling over these patterns yesterday! I adore the dresses, and I can easily see the aprons becoming part of my growing collection of cute retro aprons. Pick me! I’m just startingout sewing from patterns, as well as learning my way around a sewing machine. Most of my sewing is handsewn reproductions of 18th c. Accessories, so this would be a nice change. Definitely going to buy some patterns either way!

  30. oooh I am in love with the Crossover Carry! I would definitely pick that one if I were the winner. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  43. Why, oh why is this the first time I’m hearing about Indygo patterns? Thanks Craft Gossip for bringing them to my attention. Ps, I love the day to night dress.

  48. I’ve just been to check out Indygo Junction and find an amazing range of patterns. All very individual looking. The zip jewellery is fun.

Build Big Memories on a Budget: DIY Cubby House Using Recycled Pallets

There’s something special about a cubby house. For kids, it’s more than just a backyard structure—it becomes a pirate ship, a secret hideaway, a miniature home, or a quiet spot to read and imagine. And for parents or grandparents, it’s a chance to create something meaningful that encourages outdoor play and creativity.

I recently came across a fantastic step-by-step guide from the team over at Bunnings Workshop that shows exactly how to build a DIY cubby house using recycled pallet timber. It’s a simple yet incredibly rewarding project that turns discarded timber into a charming play space your kids will absolutely love.

What I really appreciate about this project is how accessible it is. It doesn’t require a big budget or expensive materials. By using pallet timber, you not only save money but also help reduce waste—making it a great example of sustainable DIY. The cubby design is solid and safe, with a layout that leaves room for personal touches like paint, planters, or even a chalkboard wall.

This is the kind of project that can grow with your children. You might start with a basic structure and then add onto it as their play evolves—maybe a little deck area, a set of stairs, or some creative decor like a mini letterbox or curtains. It’s also a great opportunity for families to work together. Even young children can help with painting or handing over tools, making it a fun and collaborative experience.

The Bunnings Workshop tutorial provides a clear guide with a materials list, tool requirements, and helpful photos throughout. Whether you’re an experienced builder or a DIY beginner, the instructions are easy to follow and adaptable to different backyard sizes.

If you’ve been looking for a weekend project that adds charm to your outdoor space and creates long-lasting memories, this might be just the thing. Building a cubby house is a wonderful way to connect with your kids, encourage imagination, and spend time outdoors—without needing to buy another plastic playhouse.

If you do give it a go, I’d love to hear how it turns out. Share your cubby house photos and ideas—I know many readers would be inspired to see how each one takes on its own unique personality.
