Here’s a fun little project I’ve been meaning to post for a while now. I made these in several colors since the first ones I made in purple. I had to edit out my face in this picture because I looked super silly. Don’t laugh!
These earrings sell themselves. They’re big, they’re light, you can make them to match any outfit and they use up those pesky scraps...
If you sew or press your clothes a lot then eventually you’ll need to clean your iron. Why? The tap water you use in your steam water reservoir starts to calcify and/or oxidize and you start getting whitish and/or reddish crud in your steam water – and it will leave a giant stain on whatever it is you’re ironing.

Patterned bias tape pretty much always looks rad.
The good news is that it’s easy to make. ...

RANT ALERT. Seriously, it’s no secret that I’m not into killing and/or mistreating our animal friends. I think the way the meat industry works in this day and age is straight up sick and wrong.
Now, if I were starving out in the woods would I rather die than kill and eat an animal? Certainly...
