Melvis Makes Home of the Book Buddy ®️ - protecting precious reading material around the world since 2016.

The ramblings of a 40 something Brit who likes to read & sew, also featuring a young Romanian street dog on a regular basis. Hello and welcome to Melvis Makes - Home of the Book Buddy®

I'm Melanie and I live in the North East of England. I make a range of useful goodies from gorgeous fabrics, including Book Buddies, Tablet/eReader Sleeves, Storage for Crafters, Tote & Cosmetic Bags, Handy Homewar

es, Pencil Cases and more. You can purchase via Etsy, Amazon Handmade or by contacting me right here on Facebook - shipping is available worldwide!

"Hey Melvis, What's a Book Buddy?"

Book Buddies are lightly padded book sleeves, designed to protect your books from bent covers, creased pages and similar damage whilst you carry them in your bag. We've all been there and it's heartbreaking when you pull a book from the depths of your handbag to find it's been crumpled by all the other contents! Book Buddies are available in 4 different sizes to suit all kinds of books, and many different designs. I try to make a wide range of designs to suit all, but if you don't see what you're looking for, just get in touch! I'm happy to make custom items, but please note that I can't use copyright fabrics (Disney, Harry Potter etc).

********************************

Unique ~ Handmade ~ Ethical

Each item in Melvis Makes is completely handmade by myself at my dining table, normally whilst listening to Oasis or watching Chick Flicks. I use only high quality 100% cotton fabrics and endeavour to create items that can't be sourced elsewhere. Therefore you can be sure that the items you purchase will be completely unique, handmade and ethically created (I promise I pay myself a fair wage and allow myself regular tea breaks!)

If you have any questions, please get in touch - thank you for reading :)

Good morning lovelies ☺️ Last night's Market Night did not quite go to plan 😅 FB has changed the way it works since the old days and I didn't realise, so apologies for the confusion! Thank you to those who managed to track down the album and place an order, I'm going to send invoices out shortly.

This is everything that's left, still lots available 😍 and hopefully a lot easier to navigate for both of us!

(The last 3 photos show postage info & size info)

Just comment on any photos you'd like to purchase 🧡 we're out and about today, and will be out of signal on occasion (we're only sitting in a friend's garden but it's about 15 foot below the house and therefore off grid apparently 🤣) but will reply to any comments asap.

Have a great weekend 🌞 and thanks for putting up with my little Melvis nightmares 😆 x

I haven't figured out how to share the album, I don't think it's possible anymore 🙄 wish I'd realised that earlier 🤣 will have to figure out a new way to run Market Nights in the future. Thankfully some of you found the album 🙏🏻 thank you for your orders 🧡 I'll send invoices out in the morning - thanks again xx

Market Night is now open! Please comment “BRIGHT” on the photos of the items you’d like to buy. All items are sold on a first come, first served basis - good luck!

The Market Night Album can be found here - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=melvismakes&set=a.1855853722415233 - if the link doesn't work, please click on Melvis Makes then photos and you will find the album there.

Most items only have ONE of each available but some of the other items have multiples available - please check the photo descriptions.

I will confirm sales and update availability as quickly as possible, but there’s only one of me & hopefully lots of you 😉

Postage info is in the album description, an email address will be required to send a PayPal invoice (a PayPal account is not required for you to pay). If you’re outside the U.K., please let me know so I can add the additional postage etc to your invoice.

Thank you 🧡
