Carafting


I'm learning to use a sewing machine, and it's exciting! I like to share about my adventures in sewing, and show anyone who’s interested how my projects turn out. I'm a self taught novice and I appreciate instruction and encouragement from those with more sewing experience.

Sewing is not the only crafty thing I do. For instance, I am an avid friendship bracelet maker, and for some reason I can't stop making envelopes out of everything I can get my hands on. (p.s. I love mail!)

Okay, and I cook and I bake too. Yum!

Happy Carafting!


Here are some of my favorite projects, links to where I got my ideas, and some other great links too! Have fun!

I made these diapers for a friend who has a young son.

Altering large or baggy thrift store sweaters is a favorite project.

This often means making dresses out of them.
