Here is the matching beanie for the Aran Scarf. Both of these I made for my brother to match the sweater my younger sister knitted him for Christmas. The Aran Beanie features cables for its center design, while the rest of it is done in a moss pattern to mirror the look of the sweater. Aran Beanie Crochet Pattern Skill …
Blue 8-Panel Skirt – Free Lekala Sewing Pattern
This is another skirt I made for my older sister, probably back in 2020 as a Christmas present. It is a free sewing pattern from Lekala, and it was actually one of the first patterns I downloaded, but I never got around to making it. Finally, when I needed to make something as another present, I decided to make this. …
Green Velvet Circle Skirt – Free Sewing Pattern
Remember my purple velvet circle skirt? I made that in 2020, which is now such a long time ago. I’m guessing it was that same year at Christmastime when my younger sister and I were brainstorming gift ideas. We decided to make an outfit for my youngest sister, and this fun and twirly circle skirt in luxurious green velvet was …
Aran Scarf – Free Crochet Pattern
Last Christmas my younger sister was knitting a sweater for my brother. About that time I realized that he didn’t have a scarf, and I knew I had to make him one. 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 …
Golden Autumn Skirt – Free Crochet Pattern
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.

Crochet Oreo Cookie – Free Pattern
After I made a crochet marshmallow more than a year ago, my little sister kept asking me to make an Oreo cookie. It has taken me forever, but I finally obliged. This is a really simple design: just a few circles stitched together to make a sandwich. After you make the classic Oreos, try making Uh-Oh Oreos using yellow for …
Perfect Christmas Tree Star Tutorial
There are less than two weeks left in the countdown to Christmas. I just realized I haven’t yet had the chance to wear my velvet Christmas dress I made last year. I’ll have to make sure I do that. I’ve been very busy these days with a list of projects I’ve been working on for Christmas. This post and project …
Green Wrap Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern
It seems things on my Lekala project page are a little out of order. My last two projects I posted about were done in February and April of 2018, but this one I actually did in December 2017. I guess I paused in the middle of making the blue gored skirt to make this green wrap blouse as a Christmas …
Purple Velvet Circle Skirt – Free Pattern
Last year when I finally got to making myself a Christmas dress, I decided to use this free circle skirt template and simple bodice from The Littlest Studio. After making it and seeing the skirt, I knew that I had to have more circle skirts in my wardrobe. In February my sister went shopping and brought home a whole lot …
