Melissa Howard | A Year of Handmade Garments

https://myhandmadeyearblog.wordpress.com/author/melissaahowardd

A Year of Handmade Garments. November 7, 2015. November 7, 2015. I just finished knitting my very first pair of socks! And they fit *perfectly*; just as they should. Made from super soft madeline tosh yarn. They really are so amazing that I’m kinda scared to wear them. Delicious food, yoga, meditation, silence…. And either way it’s perfect. So there in my little candlelit cabin I cast on my very first pair of socks. November 5, 2015. November 7, 2015. It’s so true what people say about holidays bec...

September | 2015 | A Year of Handmade Garments

https://myhandmadeyearblog.wordpress.com/2015/09

A Year of Handmade Garments. September 29, 2015. Instead of finishing my gorgeous straight cut tunic, I’ll be blogging about that later in the week, I’ve been painting a 165 foot long picket fence – boooo! So in the meantime, here’s a super easy pattern that started my sewing adventures. For Whalen a couple weeks ago. Making things for small people is so quick, so easy and super rewarding. These cute hipster pants took me an hour or so to sew up. I did do a few modifications. And the pose just kills me!

https://myhandmadeyearblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/24/whats-the-true-cost-of-clothing/comment-page-1

A Year of Handmade Garments. What’s the true cost of clothing? September 24, 2015. September 24, 2015. I remember asking my mother’s friend who makes gorgeous quilts – Why don’t you sell them? 8211; and she asked “How much would you pay for a handmade quilt? What are the daily conditions at the factories? Do you believe that energy can be stored in clothing – what are the workers frame of mind making your clothing? Do you, on some level, absorb that energy when wearing the garment? I see knitwear in my c...

Setting Down Roots: January 2015

http://mycrunchymama.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

A place to share my passions about fabric, yarn, good food, life and my family. Saturday, 31 January 2015. A knitter and author. As you know, knitting is very important for me. Not only is it a skill and hobby I enjoy, but it is also a grounding experience for me. Saturday, 10 January 2015. Yesterday I experimented in the kitchen : hand salve was the end result! Hopefully I have found the perfect recipe. 1/4 cup coconut oil. 1/2 cup olive oil. 8-15 drops of essential oil (I opted for lavender). After muc...
