Time for #PortfolioDay! Though I have not had much time since becoming a parent, I am looking forward to restarting #bookbinding and #bookmaking this year. My latest project has been #handmade #vegan traveller's #notebooks. They are my design and I've enjoyed trying to improve them with each attempt.

I've attached a link below a post links to more projects I've posted here over the years!

“Our intro to sewing class still sells out weeks in advance,” Andonopoulos said. “I’m always shocked people are so interested in sewing because I thought after six months things would die down, but the interest has not stopped, and if anything, it’s grown.”

Happy Spring, everyone! 🌼 I couldn't bear to part with my favorite (but very worn-out) old jeans, so I decided to give them a little DIY refresh.

I’ve put together a step-by-step tutorial and a video on the blog. Grab your needle and thread! 🧵👇

I bought a plant pot from the dollar store just because as soon as I saw it, I thought it needed googly eyes haha.

Now I have to decide which plant would look the funniest to be its "hair."

In this week's crafting blog post I've spun up some autumnal Corriedale combed top on my spinning wheel.

Good news: my multi-skilled friend Cheyenne has a new job. She is now a LÄNSHEMSLÖJDSKONSULENT, literally a "county home crafts advisor". This position exists to support and encourage traditional crafts as hobbies.
