Crochet a Beaded Bracelet
I’ve been very interested in experimenting with crochet beading lately. I have been incorporating beads into my work for a few months now, and it was only a matter of time before I started pulling it into my comfort craft. Many crochet beadwork projects use small seed beads in intricate patterns. I have no doubt that I’ll graduate to those patterns one day, but larger supplies are always helpful in learning the basic concepts of a new skill, which is why I’ve created this beginner-friendly bracelet! This pattern is geared…

Though I tend to work mostly on large-scale fiber arts projects, sometimes I’m just not in the mood to work for hours at a time and see little progress.

Since the holiday season is in full swing, I decided to keep with…

Sewing a Sunglasses Case
Summer is only a couple weeks away! As we get ever closer to fun in the sun, a little prep work is needed to make summer ’21 the best one yet! I have a feeling that most of us will want to have as much outside time as possible this year, and with that comes sun protection.

Since discovering Punch Needle Embroidery, I’ve always been interested in how to utilize it in unconventional ways.
