LRR scouts – an outdoorsy adventure in web video costuming

I was never in Girl Scouts or Girl Guides or (obviously) Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or any of the various youthful North American scouting groups there are to be in. I know that Boy Scouts carry pocket knives (well so do I, thanks very much) and Girl Scouts sell cookies, and that the Girl [...]

Assassin’s Creed 3 hood – bonus post

[EDIT: You can now find the full tutorial and pattern for this project here.] Now and then I’ve mentioned how my ties with LoadingReadyRun can lead to abrupt and somewhat random crafting requests. A couple weeks ago I was in the middle of vital and uninteresting work stuff, when my phone dinged with a message [...]

plush pig (inspired by Desert Bus 4)

They’re also super quick and easy to make, as I will demonstrate to you. But why cat ears, and why this week? Well, it goes back to last November, when [...]

W00tstock 2.0 & 2.1 photos – bonus post

Woot! Stock! Yes, I was there, LoadingReadyRun was there, many other cool people were there! For my full-on recounting of this awesome experience, see my W00tstock article posted on the fabulous Geek Girl on the Street blog. Ok so yeah, this is a crafting blog, and no, I don’t plan to use it for a [...]
