Made By Humans
With all the sewing I have been doing this week, there are a lot of little bits of fabric lying around. I decided to make fabric out of scraps that I’ll use for a project or two next week. It’s a great idea to consistently do this with your fabric scraps to avoid having a […]
This is, in a way, a continuation of yesterday’s challenge to do something that scares you, at least for me. I wanted to keep playing with my serger, of course, so in a way just making something with my serger is a way to do something you’ve never done before for me. But I wanted […]
Is there something craft-related that scares you? Not so scary that you would never try it (that’s probably me with woodworking and welding, because I’m somewhat accident prone), but scary that you really wish you could do?

This week’s Iron Craft challenge was supposed to be something unexpected. As expected, I had trouble coming up with something. But I’d had this idea that I wanted to make a bulky yarn to use in my classes this summer for demonstration purposes, so I decided to take this opportunity to do it. I don’t […]
Sometimes it’s fun to make something again that you have already made before. You can see the project in a different way than you might have the first time around, perhaps coming up with different methods or alternatives than you used before.

I think (assume, hope) that all crafters from time to time have projects that get put in time out. Whether you made a mistake and you aren’t sure how to fix it or you’re frustrated, bored, annoyed or otherwise done with that project before it is finished, it gets exiled to some place where it […]
I’m on a bit of a sewing kick, and a food-related sewing kick at that, so when I thought of today’s challenge to mass-produce something, I quickly settled on making some simple placemats. I basically used the reversible placemat pattern from Rae Gun Ramblings, but it’s such a simple project you don’t really need a […]
