Where to start with Flatlays!
For businesses, bloggers and shopaholics alike, flat lay photos have become the new black.
They are just as the name describes – items that are laid flat on display, with or without complementing items. Flatlays present handmade brands a great opportunity to showcase products, as well as a great networking opportunity to connect with other businesses.
When my daughter Isla was born, my husband and I made a decision to not place photos of her on social media. So when My Little I Designs started up I had to work out how to present my pieces without the use of a model, and flat lays were the answer!
In this article I’ll share my top tips for photographing a great flatlay, which can in turn boost sales.
Today on the blog we’ve got Bel Meginley from My Little I Design helping you improve your flatlays! This blog post first appeared in One Thimble Issue 9.
Lost boys themed photoshoot
Do you ever look at photos on social media and wonder about the stories behind them?
Cathie and Cindy from Sew Darn Ezy pulled together the most amazing “Lost Boys from Peter Pan” photoshoot for their One Thimble Issue 14 sews.
Every time they shared an image a little more of the story came together. I was so pleased when Cathie agreed to share a run down of this shoot! Read on and be inspired by their story.

New to One Thimble and wondering how it works?
Sewing is so much more than needles, fabric and thread. It’s about passionately expressing your creativity and your love of handmade.
