    Lena Cardigan- Crochet Pattern

    Hi everyone, I’m Amber from Divine Debris and I love cardigans. I don’t think that’s something people often assume when they see me (I bet it’s the purple hair) but I really do love cardigans. Long before I was able to make my own cardis, I had so many in various colors and sizes and they were basically stashed everywhere so I was never without a cardigan if I wanted one. But now… I have even more! Once I was able to make my own, the sky was the limit…

    18th Century Stomacher- Tutorial

    Greetings fellow sewists! My name is Sarah and I am a historical costumer and maker of floofy things.

    The Bitterroot Sagebrush Beanie- Knitting Pattern

    The Bitterroot Sagebrush Beanie Hi Makers! Hannah here, the designer, knitwear blogger, and maker behind Bears Den Essentials (@bearsdenessentials).

Living in Montana, our falls are incredibly short, but the vibrant colors and textures of the Northern Rockies pack a punch. This project uses lacework to celebrate two fixtures of the Ruby Valley which I call home: sagebrush and bitterroot.    Inspired by the state flower of Montana and…

    Sunny Hanging Basket- Crochet Pattern

    Hi everyone, I’m Erin from CraftsEverywhere! Today I’m going to share a crochet pattern for the Sunny Hanging Basket. You can use it for succulents, air plants, produce, etc. A friend commissioned me to make some hanging baskets out of twine that they could use for potatoes and onions a few months ago and this pattern was born. I started making them in different sizes and then couldn’t stop. I used to have a black thumb (and a cat) so I could never have any inside plants but this summer…

    Pumpkin Wall Hanging- Tutorial

      Hi everyone, I’m Amber and I’m the designer of Divine Debris and I hope you share my excitement for Fall!

That’s why I designed this new pattern for Clover, the Fall Pumpkin Wall Hanging. I’ve made a few colorwork/ intarsia/ tapestry designs for Clover in the last year and hope you’ve enjoyed them but I felt like…
