Crochet, Free PatternThis is the perfect crochet star. I designed it several years ago when I needed a star applique for a project. I later used it in this coaster pattern, but now I decided to publish it as a standalone pattern.

Today is the first day of Advent! I know many people have already put up Christmas decorations, while other people are waiting for December 1st to do that. However, today being the 4th Sunday before Christmas Day, it is officially the beginning of the Christmas season, hence the time to start decorating. To start things off, I have a quick …
I recently had the opportunity to test some crochet patterns for other designers. I realized at that time that I haven’t tested any patterns since last December. I guess it was about time to do some again. Here are the four patterns that I tested during September and October. The first one was this cute ghost applique. It’s a perfect …
It’s time for the next entry in the Simplicity 8390 Vintage Blouse series. I actually started working on this blouse years ago, back when I was learning to sew. This was shortly after I made the black blouse with red flowers, the black blouse with copihue, and the green dress. I had originally planned to make a blue blouse with …

I thought it would be nice for it to match his new sweater. The sweater featured cables, so of course, the scarf should too. I didn’t know how …
Shortly after I tested the Rhapsody Tee, I was invited to test another of Susanna Biaye’s patterns. This time it was the Rose Kimono, a lovely wrap vest with a belt. I decided to make my version using this fine blue yarn from my stash, and it goes nicely with my blue skirt. The design is a very simple one, …
In April of last year, I came across a testing call for this lovely tee by Susanna Biaye of Fosbas Designs. I was thrilled when I was accepted to test for her, and very excited since it also happened to be the first time I ever tested a crochet pattern for a designer. Since I’m posting all my projects on …
Introducing my first skirt pattern: the Golden Autumn Skirt! I made this skirt last year, but it’s taken me a while to get it all written up. I’ve also been debating how and when to release it, and I finally decided to go ahead and publish it on my blog. There’s still some work to do, but later on I’ll …
