Pillow Talk

Posted on August 7, 2016

With everything that’s been happening lately, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with art projects. I figured it’s what my aunt would have wanted and enjoyed seeing. She was always interested in seeing what I was capable of creating.

So with this recent project, let me start by saying this was supposed to go in a different direction.
My couch needs some fun stuff happening to it (a bigger project possibly involving patchwork is in the works). In the meantime I wanted simple and fun. I came across eye pillows that caught my eye 😉.

Rag Weave Tote Bags

Posted on November 13, 2015

Where have I been lately? Finishing up crafts and getting ready for this event I’ll be selling a bunch of my goods at on Sunday. Events always stress me out. I want to do so much, but because of unnecessary stressing and poor time management, I rarely get to accomplish all I want to accomplish. That’s why this time around I kept things simple for myself and I mainly had one goal. ↓

I shared how my dad made me a loom? Well, I’ve been using the crap out of it and I turned my weavings into tote bags.

Red Rose Banner

Posted on September 3, 2015

I’ve had quite a bit of built up creative energy since I’ve been out of the country for a while. I’m the kind of person that constantly needs project to fall back on when I have downtime, so being away for three months without any projects to do was kinda painful. Luckily, as I mentioned before, my aunt owns a textile shop, and we were walking distance from some local shops selling sewing supplies (alliteration <3).

When I started this project, I didn’t have an idea of what I wanted the finish product to be. I just gathered all sorts of different red fabric from scraps my aunt gave me. I just thought to embroider roses and that’s what I did. Eventually I came to the idea that I wanted to turn them into a banner. I love pennant banners and thought a different take on it would be a fun idea.

This To That // Patchwork Chair

One style that I’ve come across in Greece that everyone loves is patch work. Bags, clothing, couches – you name it, they love it.
My aunt owns a textile shop and she has tons of binders with sample fabrics that have no use. She gave me some binders and her permission to do anything I wanted with them.

My Guide To Resizing Shirts

Posted on May 17, 2015

Learning to sew really made life easier when it came to shopping. I love thrift shopping, and coming across a shirt that didn’t fit me right was always disappointing. Years of practicing and experimenting eventually helped me look past sizes and buy whatever I liked if I was down to put in the work to fix ’em up.

I thought I’d write up a post sharing my method of resizing shirts. This post was written to downsize, so if you came across a shirt you want to make smaller, carry on!
