Free DIY Christmas Stocking

I am suddenly filled with inspiration now that I am fully moved into my studio. I got the urge last week to make a new holiday stocking design from my pretty Liberty of London scraps. A few prototypes and its almost ready to release! I am SO happy with how it turned out!

If you’ve never taken a class from me and are curious about my online classes- This stocking will be a full PDF pattern and an online class. You’ll get to see a little bit about how I teach and within the video class you can ask me questions, etc.

One of the most popular, most remembered DIY crafts from my first book is the Zombie Barbies for Halloween, in the Fall Chapter of the book. In each of the 4 seasonal chapters, I wanted to create a variety of projects, from fun to more long-lasting. I felt it was also important to have projects that could be done in an afternoon, as well as some that might take a little longer (creating some nice quiet hand sewing moments in our otherwise busy lives).READ MORE

Halloween Wreath Made of T-shirts

Halloween T-shirt Wreath
This is a fun wreath to make with the kids and decorate the house for Halloween. Find black and dark gray (or your favorite Halloween color) t-shirts at the thrift store, or perhaps upcycle some from your closet. Note: I cut all the strips I needed from two men’s shirts. Cut them into strips measuring roughly 1-2″ wide x 3-5″ long. Bend a wire coat hanger into a circle and just start tying strips onto the wire. Keep the strips close together and vary the shades a little for a more interesting look.READ MORE
