Simple sewing projects are always rewarding. I have a large amount of scraps and really wanted to make something, so headbands here we are! This is a project that you start and finish in one sitting. There’s an amazing tutorial for this I will link below, it’s the same thing except a lot more detail…

Shrink Plastic Pins
I found some shrink plastic at the dollar store the other day and with pins being fairly popular now it’s seemed like a fun way to create. I kept my designs pretty basic, but a good artist could have a lot of fun with this. Even kids can make designs, as long as parents handle the baking…
A Simple Sleep Mask
I’m always looking for quick sewing projects, especially when I need a break from something larger or more complex. I thought a sleep mask would be fun, fast and useful. The nice thing about this process, you can add your own take and although i used a Cricut and Sewing Machine, you can easily use…
My Attempt at Tie Dye
Spring has sprung and it was once again time to go on a camp out with my girl guide unit. We had kids aging from 7 to 12 so it’s a pretty good range. Looking back to when I was 10, I remember tie dying tshirts in my parks program and thought it would be…
Loops and Threads Yarn – Easy Scarf
Spring has sprung and its probably a bad time to start talking about winter wear. However, I can’t resist a good deal and this wool was on sale from $8CAD to $3.97CAD. Time to get prepared for next year. Loops yarn is advertised as easy to work with, no tools are needed. Now I may…

Happy Easter!
Nothing screams Easter quite like eggs and to get in the spirit of things I thought at the last minute I’d decorate a few. I saw this project on Cricut Access and thought they looked pretty classy. I had been wanting to try some smaller project and eggs seems like a good test. I chose…
Scalemaille Flowers
I recently bought a chainmaille kit from a friend at work. She had put together various rings, scales, and instructions for a newbie. This is something I’ve wanted to try for a while so I was really excited to give this a go. Chainmaille is armour or jewelry made by connecting metal rings. Using pliers the rings…
Making a Cricut Vinyl Shirt
I was going bowling, and really wanted to use this opportunity make a shirt with the cricut machine. All I had to work with was a grey shirt, a dream and a surprisingly large amount of iron on vinyl options. After spending more time than I’d like to admit trying to think of a good bowling…
Cricut EasyPress 2 Starter Iron-On Bundle
So connected to the Cricut Maker post, the companion piece to this is the easy press. When using iron on vinyl, you can work with a regular iron or a giant heat press. I suppose this falls somewhere in between. The benefit of the easy press over a regular iron is you can control the…
