I blame the warm weather for my current state - I've been completely entranced by all things reminiscent of a 70's California summer. Don't think "boho" - think bohemian. From this amazing sheer caftan featured at The Sartorialist to the absolutely gorgeous peacock-feathered, color-saturated, fringed-and-crocheted inspiration that is artist Kime Buzzelli's blog, The Moldy Doily, I...
I was so excited to get the new issue of Craft and see that the theme is shoes, so I decided to do a shoe roundup! I've always been intrigued by handmade shoes, whether they be knit, sewn, crocheted, or repurposed, and I've found quite a few great tutorials/patterns around the web for you to check out if you're into the idea. And if you're not, hopefully these shoes will get you excited about...
My favorite eco friendly tee shirt company in the whole wide world is No Enemy. I bought my first "ORGANIC" No Enemy tee almost 5 years ago when i got a youth scholarship to attend the BIONEERS conference in Northern California. Paul, the founder of the company, is so nice and really thrives to get the message out about sustainablity. Go check his website or look for the Organic Tee or...

Remember these things? If you were born in the late 80's, you may not have really ever used cassettes. Anyway, they were a staple when I was growing up. Fellow blogger, Chezlin made a really cool wallet out of one of her old cassettes. She even created a tutorial so all of you can make one! Head over to her blog for the complete tutorial.
Prom season is.... HERE! I remember those days when I'd be SO excited to go to Prom. Though, I'd have to find a date first and a kick-ass dress to impress everyone at Prom. Magazine upon magazine, I'd scour the pages to find something unique - something that no one else had and that would just blow them away. Well, folks, these people went way beyond the magazines and stores and they made...
Last week I blogged a bit about tracking down international pattern magazines. So my question today is, "have you been bitten by the pattern magazine bug yet?" If so, you probably have your first issue in your hands, are looking at the pattern inserts (which looks roughly like a roadmap), and are now wondering "what do I do now?" Here's some tips to get you started sewing up your first...
On this Earth Day, enjoy a quick Earth Day rap from Team Green!
Inspired by the amazing tulle-halos at the Spring 08 Marc-by-Marc Jacobs show, here's a quick and easy (and mega-cheap) tulle-puff headband DIY!
All you'll need is a yard of tulle in any color, some matching thread or string, and an inexpensive plastic headband in a matching or complimentary color. I chose black so my finished product would resemble Minnie Mouse-ears (so cute!), but a...
