Upcycled Sweater Headband - DIY Sewing Tutorial

Upcycle an old sweater into a cute new headband that will keep your ear warm!  Heather at Heather Handmade shows how she created this winter headband out of an upcycled sweater.  It’s an easy project, and it makes a great gift!  And since it doesn’t take much fabric you could get several headbands from just one sweater and still have scraps left over for other projects.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
