A friend told me about the Loose Ends Project and I think it sounds wonderful. I'm too new to cross-stitching to be of much help, but maybe I can dust off my crocheting skills....

Sewing and crafting community!

Anna is at risk of loosing her home and has already lost access to her meds, phone, and internet. Internet issues caused her to lose her remote job, and she is unable to cover the front cost of fabric supplies for orders for her sewing work at this time. She needs $800 in the next ten days just to keep the roof over her and the kitty’s heads. If anyone can help right now, it would be much appreciated!

Her paypal email: ak.redleaf@gmail.com

(*Note: paypal is slow on the update of her legal name change, but you can find her on instagram at: redleaf.sews to confirm before donating.)

(Plus: the conversion rate from USD to CAD makes even a small donation go further!)

As always, I am more than happy to provide art in exchange for a donation. Please message me a screen shot of your donation, and your request!

Fiber Arts Community Question:

I am looking into selling some of the hats I have made just to declutter...where do you guys recommend I sell from? I have tried etsy before, so I am not opposed to using it again, but I don't intend to sell them for much (maybe 10-15 dollars?) and I know etsy takes a pretty big cut from sales.

Any recommendations?

🧶 Repurposed Creativity! 🧶

This bold red, white, and blue bag started with squares originally meant for an anime-inspired scarf that I didn’t finish. I didn’t stick to the original pattern placement, so I added extra squares to make it work as a bag. Fingers crossed that it still has an attractive, cohesive look!

What do you think of this color combo and layout? Let me know your thoughts! ❤️🤍💙

No blue this week! I’m curious to see how long it will take to get to orange and red.

I really want to get into sewing my own clothes especially those really pretty gowns because I’ve seen so many YouTubers make beautiful dresses and I want to do that but I don’t know where to start 😭😭 can someone help me out?

I have a new jacket, the material is similar to a good hoodie. I have two, maybe three, store-bought decorative patches which each have an iron-on adhesive backing, and I will likely collect more. I want to attach the patches and potentially collect more patches of different varieties, I don't forsee ever needing to remove them.

Someone I know has had issues in the past, a patch that peeled off a vest in the washing machine. Again, these are store patches, so quite thick with embroidery as well.

Is it better to use the iron-on method intended by the manufacturer, or to sew them on?

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."

So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.

And also...

My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.

It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.

So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!

And I really am feeling very good about doing it.
