One gloomy day in February, I suddenly decided to participate in a monthlong styling challenge organized by Abbey Cerek. I haven't posted style content in a while online and was going through a wardrobe crisis. I've spent most of the winter bundled up, wearing my trusted wool underlayers with my coziest quilted pants. I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at tyling videos on Instagram and saving looks on Pinterest, convincing myself my closet is lacking key pieces. But I know that's not true and that: 1. I have more clothes than I need, and 2. I probably have enough fabric in my stash ..read more

YouTube made me do it! I had never used a punch needle before, but I saw this video by Jenna Phipps and decided to get a punch needle starter kit to practice a little before diving into this major crafting project. I'm not a designer, or good at drawing, so I looked for inspiration online and stumbled upon this cute children’s stool by PunchioArt. I couldn't believe how easy punch needling is, especially considering how much I struggle with my latest knitting project (a mohair cardigan)! This piece only took my a couple of hours! Supplies Punch Needle Starter Kit Yarn Pencil or marker (to ..read more

In the spirit of using every bit of the quilt I thrifted and after sewing a jacket, a giant tote, and a vest (check out all my quilted pieces), I decided to tackle smaller projects and came up with the idea to make a pair of quilt(ed) mittens. I had no experience in glove or mitten making and spent some time looking for free patterns on the web. Here's the mitten pattern I used. It wasn't the most professional-looking one, but it did the trick. I later found this other one, but I like the "articulated thumb" of the first pattern better. This one might work best with more flexible fabric, lik ..read more
