Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Shop // Video Tutorials Hello Maker, They call it “selfish sewing” when you make something just for yourself—but is it really? I think one of the best parts of knowing how to sew is being able to create something special for you.

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Shop // Video Tutorials Hello Maker, I’ll admit it—I’m not a fan of toys that run on batteries. I much prefer the kind powered by imagination. Batteries wear out (thankfully—some of those noisy toys are a lot), but imagination? That never runs low. It’s amazing how little ones can entertain themselves with just textures and sounds. This sunshine softie is a perfect example—the soft rays make a gentle crinkle noise that’s sure to keep baby...

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Shop // Video Tutorials Hello Maker, Well summer is in full swing, my kiddos are having fun riding their bikes to our local library. I confess that just makes me happy as mom - physical activity and books - yes! I've been going up to the local library too - they have a laser cutter there and I have been having fun playing with it. You might see some of my creations up in my Etsy shop soon! Summer is a great time to learn new things - if...

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Shop // Video Tutorials Hello Maker, I’ll admit it—I love making matching T-shirts for my family. I’ve made them for birthdays, vacations, summer camps… even just because it was Tuesday. You get the idea! But wow—Heat Transfer Vinyl can get really expensive. The good news?

This Star in Stripes Forever Pillow is a festive, fun, and comfy way to bring a little patriotic charm into your home. The best part? This free pattern makes it super easy! I remember the first time I stitched one up, watching my kids parade around the living room with it like it was a grand prize at a county fair....

Greetings Dangerous One, You remember what it was like to be a beginner. Threading the machine… and wondering why the straight stitch just looked wrong. Getting the bobbin in backwards. Holding your breath on every seam. And then—somewhere along the way—it clicked. You found your rhythm. You learned how to fix a mistake without panicking. You started making things with your hands and heart. You became... dangerous. Now, someone you love is ready for her own beginning. Maybe it’s a daughter, a...

Free Patterns Master Index // Handmade Gift Ideas // Shop // Video Tutorials Hello Maker, Can you believe I’ve had a fleece website for over 10 years—and somehow never did a tie blanket tutorial? I know, crazy, right? It’s one of the most classic fleece projects out there, and it’s about time I finally shared my take on it! Truth is I didn't want to do the same old tutorial. If I did it I wanted to bring something new and helpful to the table. After thinking about it one of the most tedious...
