Boho Bedroom Redo
Hello friends! I’m so excited to share a project with you today that my 13 year old grand-daughter, Jillian, and I have been working on for the last few months! In the summer she told me that her parents had given her permission to re-do her bedroom into a Boho themed room and she was so excited. As she began to tell me what her vision was for her bedroom I got really excited for her and thought maybe I could help her out a bit by sewing some pillows,…

Sew a Drop Shoulder Cardigan from a Blanket!
Each culture has objects that become unanimous with it. Growing up, I was always surrounded by many items I believe would fall into the “Mexicana” category.

These blankets are traditional Mexican woven blankets that are often made of recycled cotton and acrylics. Like many Mexican families, we have a handful of these blankets laying around. With the…

Simple Autumn Court House Steps Cushion
The weather is turning colder and Fall is here in the Midwest and of course along with it comes all things Halloween and Autumn. My birthday is on Halloween so that’s an added bit of fun for our family. This year being in a new home I decided to add a cushion for the couch with a subtle Halloween feel to it, just enough orange and black to work but not so much that I’d want to put it away before Thanksgiving. I’ve always wanted to try a traditional Courthouse…

Mandala Pincushion
Hello! It’s Jennifer Ryan, the designer and blogger behind Celtic Knot Crochet. I am excited to be sharing another mandala project here on the Clover blog! Did you know that mandalas are really modern versions of the vintage doily designs your grandmother or great grandmother might have crocheted in the 1930’s and 40’s? Back then they were mostly made of cotton thread and used as decorations on your dining table or amongst your living room furniture. Now you can make a simple sewing accessory using Clover’s Create-a-Pincushion Kit and this modern…
