How We Use It: Fabric Tube Maker!
Hey all, it’s Shannon and Jason! We love a good sale. Shocking, right? Seriously, the only thing we like more than a good sale is a good sale at the fabric store. It only takes minutes to fill up a cart with colors and textures and patterns…oh my. Next time you’re sauntering up to the checkout stand with a few quilts worth of fabric on bolts, take a gander behind the counter and you might catch a glance at a pre-cut jelly roll. Yes! Clover has done the hard work…

Summer Soiree Shorts <3
Inspiration: As my name, The Crochet Faerie, suggests, I am heavily inspired by faeries and fantasy. I recently designed a lovely little Faerie Soiree Top, and really wanted a cute pair of shorts to wear with it, but also didn’t want the outfit to be purely crochet… As a fanatic of mixing mediums and fabrics, I took the same yarn & stitch used for my top and combined it with a light pair of already made shorts. The result: absolutely adorable magic! I can’t wait for you to give it…

Summer Essentials Bag :)
Hello friends! A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d be interested in testing a bag pattern for a friend I’ve met through IG that lives in Finland! (Instagram is a crazy thing isn’t it? I have a friend in Finland…) I love her patterns that I’ve sewn with in the past so of course I said yes! She sent me the pattern and I got right to work. I don’t have a tutorial for you, since this is a purchased pattern, and not one of my own. However,…

Jewelry Holder Sewing Tutorial
Hi, my name is Rumer! You can find me on IG @rumer_has_it 🙂 Now that it’s officially summer break, you might find yourself having the time and opportunity to travel. I’ve recently done some travel myself and have missed this little handmade compact jewelry holder that my grandma got for me when I was younger. It was lightweight and I could throw in my earrings, necklaces, and bracelets to take with me. There were a bunch of pockets so that each accessory could have its own little space and not…
