Happy 2024! As is common with the start of a new year, I like to set some goals for myself to foster greater intentionality and mindfulness. Some of these goals include growing my pattern-making skills, spending more time with loved ones, and moving my body more. One way to get the ball rolling with my goals is to create a phone bag pattern so that I could have a small bag to take with me while I’m outdoors, whether it be to run a short errand, take a stroll, or…

Hey everybody, my name is Duana Chandler (from @duana_m_chandler and @duanastudio on IG) and I love to sew and hack patterns! The weather here in Virginia hasn’t been super cold, so wearing a coat isn’t really necessary. BUT jackets and vests are definitely perfect for the season! I chose to use an old school Simplicity Pattern, 1499, that I have had in my stash for years and have been wanting to use! I have been looking for a multipurpose vest to wear, and this pattern is easy and great for…

Y’all know by now that we are all about the upcycle and reuse of garments (and textiles of all sorts) whenever possible. So, when we found an old button-up shirt in winter storage, we started looking for a way to bring it back to life. Thanks to Clover’s Stitch Dome we took this fashion atrocity out and gave it new life! We embroidered a little flower on the collar of the shirt, and it’s to die for (of course in the best way possible), so we’re gonna show you how…

Can you believe it’s December 1st already?! Christmas will be here before we know it 😮 One of my favorite holiday memories is decorating Christmas cookies with my family. This crochet gingerbread person cookie would make an adorable ornament for friends or family, OR you can make a few without the handle and have them laying down in a cookie tray for decoration! You can sew on the eyes, mouth, and buttons with embroidery thread, or get creative with other craft supplies. I used mini buttons, pom-poms, and puffy paint!…

It’s my favorite time of the year! The weather is cool, the nights are long, and football is on TV! If you’re a football fan too, then this coozie is a must-have for your next game day party. These also make a great “game day” gift for your neighbor that always invites you to Sunday football parties! You can knit little mosaic footballs that wrap around your 12oz soda can so that you keep the coldness of your drink off your hands (which keeps your knitting fingers stay nice and warm)…

Hi all, my name is Duana, from Duana Studio (@duana_m_chandler on IG)! I am excited to share a DIY braided scarf using 4 different fabrics. As the weather cools off, I love making scarfs.

It’s a great way to get utilize a few long…
