You asked for more... and we listened!
Dear [FIRSTNAME]
One of my favourite things about Kreative Kiwi is that so many of our new ideas come directly from you.
This week is another perfect example!
After lots of requests, I've added three more adorable Kids Playing Card Holders to the collection, and I've also updated our popular In the Hoop Can Koozies with new Slim Can versions.
Plus, I'm showcasing one of my favourite FREE designs—the Sewing Machine Mug Rug—and, as always, I've included some wonderful inspiration from our amazing Kreative Kiwi community.
Let's get stitching!
In the Hoop Playing Card Holders for Kids – Collection 3
When I released the first Kids Playing Card Holders, I never imagined how popular they'd become!
After so many requests for more animals, I'm delighted to introduce our newest trio...
Made completely in the hoop using felt, they're quick to stitch, practical to use, and make wonderful gifts for children, grandchildren and family game nights.
Which animal should I design next?

Slim Can Koozies Added!
After hearing from many of you that you'd love a version for slim cans and bottles...
I'm pleased to let you know they're now included!
The update includes:
✔ Slim Straight Edge version
✔ Slim Scallop version
Whether you're stitching for slim soft drink cans, energy drinks or other slim beverages, you now have even more options!
