What Do You Want to Make Today?
What if you want to #givewarmth to someone who lives somewhere it doesn’t get that cold? Or you want to do something that isn’t a no-sew scarf option, but you’re not a knitter or a crocheter? Why not sew an infinity scarf? It’s a really quick and easy project you can make a bunch of […]
I love doing little hand-sewing projects, and the girl is starting to get into them, too. (I had so much fun working through Crafty Critters with some of my fiber arts students and I can’t wait for the girl to make some of these adorable things, too.) I thought it would be fun to make […]

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 […]
