DIY Phone Bag!
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…

How We Use It: Clover’s Stitch Dome
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…
