    Back to School: Create a Roll-Up Crayon Holder!

    Hi friends! It’s Cataleya here! I’m new to the Clover blog rotation, but you can check out my IG @happystitches_us 🙂 I’m 10 years old, and my life revolves around sewing and my new golden-doodle puppy Flora! I’ve been sewing something fun for Back-to-School—a Roll-Up Crayon Holder! I got the idea because my little brothers always bring their big, chunky crayons everywhere, and they prefer their own crayons to the ones at restaurants.

    Mid Autumn Festival Mooncakes

    Celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a beloved holiday across East and Southeast Asia—including China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. It’s all about family reunions, giving thanks, and enjoying the harvest season. As a Taiwanese-Korean-American, I’ve always looked forward to one thing: mooncakes! These rich, round pastries come with sweet or savory fillings (like mung bean or salted egg yolk) and symbolize unity and togetherness. Pro-tip: they’re best enjoyed in small bites with a warm cup of tea! – Amy (@curiouspapaya)   MATERIALS:…
