Crochet, sewing, Quilting & more!
Welcome to my personal “look book!” Crafting is about community and creativity, and I love sharing my patterns and swapping ideas with other artists. Whether you’re a new-comer or a seasoned-vet, you’re sure to find something here to spark your imagination!
Basic Granny Square
Classic and timeless, they are the embodiment of crocheting. The basic granny square is an absolute must for every craftsperson, simply because they are so versatile. You’ll be amazed by everything you can make once you’ve learned this technique!
Fun with Fabric Flowers
A behind-the-scenes look at one of the best ways to use up material, and make accessories for a rainy-day. Plus a minor rant on my personal feelings regarding pattern-ownership (it’s a hot-button topic, ya’ll!).
Passport Holder (& wallet!)
Travel time is right around the corner, and there’s so much to do to prepare! But I’ve got one less thing to worry about: keeping my IDs safe and secure.
Check out the full story on how I made my own passport holder for this year’s adventure!
Pattern making #1
When your favorite clothes finally start to fail, there’s no escaping the trash can that awaits them. However, you can copy your pattern first so that you can make an entirely new piece. Never lose your favorite outfit again!
Quilted Dust Jackets
I have always valued education, because it can open the doors to so many opportunities. And when I noticed that some of my most precious books were starting to succumb to certain ravages of time, I started looking for ways halt the march of time.
Or, at the very least, bring it to a slow-crawl.
Studies: Quilted Bunnies
Just in time for Easter, take a peek behind the scenes on some of the studio’s daily processes!
In this post I’ll be showing you my personal method for recreating a specific project, when only a reference photo is available. It can seem a bit tedious when you’re first starting out, but, like most things, once you find your rhythm there’s nothing to it.
Inspired: Finger-less Gloves
I’m always in the lookout for ways to improve my skill and spread my creative wings- which is why I so appreciate it when folks present me with new ideas and projects to tackle! The first up in this series: an adorable pair of granny-square gloves. Perfect for winter!
Scrappy-Bits: Emotional Support Plants
I love making small flower arrangements! Put ‘em in your car, on your desk, on the nightstand in your bedroom- anywhere at all that needs a little pop of color!
This post is more about my process in crocheting emotional support plants, with more pattern-focused posts to come. So, stay tuned for more!
Scrappy-Bits: Squeaky Ball
I love my dog. I love to crochet. Sometimes I have too much extra yarn - and not enough squeaking toys for my pooch.
One of the best ways to cut back on one’s yarn stash is to use the remnants for little projects. While the most popular projects are always fantastic- drink coasters, washcloths, extra granny squares, etc - sometimes you need something that’s a little more unique!
Doggie Sweater: “Rocky’s Delight”
The first model in what will likely be a varied assortment of adorable doggie-fashion! In case you couldn’t tell, yes, I do indeed love my dog.
