These are the cutest litte baby booties! I chose to do a leather sole (which in my opinion was a little bit of a pain to sew) made from some scrap leather that I had from a previous project. If I make them again I think I will just do a fabric sole–it would probably…
Fabulous Flowers 2: Red Leather Dahlia
This beautiful dahlia was made with repurposed leather and an antique button. In my college days, I enjoyed going to a local fabric distribution hosted by FabMo. This group acquires discontinued designer fabric, leather, and notion samples and has monthly distributions where teachers, artisans, and other craft makers can come and enjoy a selection of…
Learning to Nuno Felt
“Nuno Felting,” which is also known as “Laminate Felting” is a process where the silk fibers of a scarf are felted together with wool roving. I found out that it definitely takes a lot of elbow grease! However, the outcome is very interesting and unique. The first blue scarf was made with wool on both…
Put Your Heart On The Line…
This is a card that I made for my husband to tell him that I would “Put my heart on the line” for him (slightly cheesy, I know, but the idea made for a cute card). I actually ended up making this card because I first found the red mini clothespins at Paper Source. They…

I have recently been trying to learn how to spin roving into yarn. It is definitely quite a tricky task in my opinion. We stopped at The Village Spinning and Weaving Shop while taking a pit stop in Solvang, CA and picked up the spindle and roving in the above picture. The lovely woman who…
Fabulous Flowers 1: Felicity Fabric Flower
To start off the Fabulous Flowers series, I chose to try out Carina Gardner’s “Felicity Fabric Flower”. Make sure to check out her full tutorial and also the rest of her website. She is so talented and creative. This pattern is super simple and turned out great! This flower would look super cute on a headband,…
Ruffled Fabric Scarf
This very simple scarf is super fun and ruffled. Elastic thread is used in the bobbin of the sewing maching to ruffle the center. I used a silk/linen blend fabric that I found in the remnants section of a local silk store. Instead of hemming the edges I decided to serge them with a rolled…
Knit Headband with Crocheted Flower
With winter coming on its way, every woman needs a stylish ear warming accessory. This fun headband (or ear warmer) is pretty easy–knit the headband in the round and crochet the flower. I made this with Berroco’s “Flicker Siegfried 3305″, but any medium or worsted weight yarn will work well. I love the little specks…
