How-Tuesday: Rose Petal Tee From Appliqué Your Way
Picking through the scrap bins at fabric stores is my cherished scavenging adventure for texture and pattern. In every nook of my craft storage, strips of vibrant textiles bloom forth. When I find projects made for these sweet trims, I'm not only reinventing a T-shirt or a tote bag, I'm also creating …
News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere: October 29, 2009
"But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what." — Edith "Little Edie" Beale This week's edition …

Etsy Finds: Cool to the Touch
As a blogger, a style addict and a shopper who enjoys the thrill of the hunt, I'm continually in search of originality to sate my design thirst. (I guess you could call it style ADD.)

Etsy Finds: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Grunge, the music and style movement of the Pacific Northwest in the early 1990s, was the return of dirty rock 'n' roll, which many said had died during the synth-drenched '80s. It promised a gritty antidote to music industry formulas, and to the perceived greed of the former decade. The grunge style fuses the …
Etsy Finds: Fade to Black
Picture it: A foreboding shadow in a dimly lit room, the glistening kohl-rimmed eyes of a 1930s rapscallion, the vast darkness that beckons inside every Pandora's box, and a resonant swelling of the orchestra as the silent film fades to black. The evocative tone that is black conjures an endless array of …
How-Tuesday: Button-Down Shirt From Design-It-Yourself Clothes
Trying on clothes in fitting rooms tends to be a less than inspiring experience. Puckering, pulling, shifting, and stretching — the garment quickly becomes an obstacle in itself. Cal Patch's book, Design-It-Yourself Clothes, is built on an inherently sensible premise: perfect fit comes from custom …
Etsy Finds: Cowboy, Take Me Away
A girl may spend her single life dreaming about the special day she'll utter the words, "I do." Being raised by high school sweethearts, I learned firsthand the many special ways a couple can keep their love burning strong for over 30 years: home cooked family dinners, walks in the park and impromptu dances to …
Etsy Finds: Culture Vulture
When it comes time to assemble a Halloween-worthy costume, I worship at the altar of the visual bon mot. Zombies and sexy nurses — I can take 'em or leave 'em. The costumes that get my attention tend to be elaborate puns ("Freudian slip," anyone?) and clever pop culture references. There's something so thrilling …
Etsy Finds: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Referencing the 1980s to your friends tends to elicit the full gamut of strong reactions. If you lived it, you may conjure up rattling memories of bad perms, yuppies and an excess of palm tree iconography. However, the '80s style was also a refreshing burst of color and light after the sleazification of …
