welcome!
I have a variety of quilting and crochet tutorials. I try to make them as beginner-friendly as possible. There is a message box at the bottom of this page, feel free to leave a comment :)
Designing a Landscape Quilt Top from a Drawing
In this video, I (loosely) explain how I designed this landscape quilt from a drawing. I used Procreate on my iPad as the drawing software.
Techniques used in this quilt include piecing, foundation paper piecing, and fusible web applique. This quilt top is currently being hand-quilted.
Introduction to Quilting - Make a Quilted Table Runner (heat-insulated)
This video teaches you all the steps required to make your first quilt. It is a simple whole-cloth quilt, and in this video I add a layer of insulated batting to make it a heat-insulated table runner. This is a great first project if you are just getting started with quilting. This smaller size makes it easier than having to work with a large blanket.
Absolute Beginner Crochet Tutorial
If you are just learning how to crochet, this video teaches you the basics about materials, making a slip knot, and single crochet. This first project is a coaster.
Teaching Myself Left-Handed Crochet
To become a better crochet instructor, I have decided to attempt crocheting with my non-dominant hand. I wanted to see what it was like to crochet with no muscle memory. While this challenge was slightly difficult, I did eventually get the hang of it, and I even figured out a nontraditional way of crocheting. If you struggle with this craft, this video might help.
Crochet a Washcloth - Beginner Friendly Pattern
This video introduces the double crochet. In this washcloth pattern, alternating single and double crochets create this beautiful textured stitch that works well as washcloth fabric.
Get in touch.
