Since the holidays are fast-approaching, I thought I’d do a gift guide series. But instead of rounding up items to purchase, I decided to compile lists of relatively easy things to make for the various types of people in your life. Got any requests? Leave me a comment!
Whether it’s your best friend, mom, or [...]
For awhile now I’ve been coveting pretty scalloped brim hats like this one, so when I found a suitable surgery victim on clearance the other day I decided to get scissor-happy.
Materials:
Circle template, or something to trace to make one
Fabric pencil
Scissors

If you want a foldover leather clutch you could buy this unlined one for $150. You could also buy one of the many available on Etsy. Or you could easily make your own. Mine is made with leather from a mini-skirt I bought at one of my favorite San Francisco thrift stores [...]
This necklace has been in the back of my mind for a long time now, but when I was going through my craft supplies to find the crystals for the crystal boutonniere tutorial I came across these tiny glass bottles. Sometimes I think I’m a craft supply hoarder, but the fact that [...]
If you’ve been following my blog for more than a couple of months, you might remember that I got married in July. Ever since then I’ve been waiting to share the professional shots from the wedding.

It seems like I’ve been getting some new visitors in the last week or so, and if you’re one of them, welcome! Please feel free to check out my previous tutorials, and don’t hesitate to leave me comments!
Now on to this week’s tutorial. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of thread-wrapped accessories, [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was happy to discover an email in my inbox from a reader named Fabiola, requesting a tutorial for a collar like this one:
I’m not sure where she got this image, but to me it looks like a collar on a dress Alexa Chung would wear. [...]
Remember this?
It’s a sweater from Bona Drag that I posted the other day with promises of a DIY, and here it is. I already had the perfect sweater, one with a V in both the front and back. When I wear it people sometimes ask me if I have my sweater [...]
