Good morning Blogtoberfest!

Blogtoberfest is here and it always brings new visitors to this little blog, so welcome, how do you do?Let me show you around.

Hint. This is not really us. We wish!

The sister outlaws make craft kits called re-sew-cool from recycled material. They are little sewing projects to make bag-tags and brooches.

 

We hot wash jumpers to make felt, sometimes dye it, cut it up add patterns and illustrated instruction and put everything you will need, from our wonderful stash of treasure – vintage ric rac and trims and a huge treasure trove of buttons -  and package them up.  We do all this in a studio at the back of my house.

 

 

This blog also explores the stuff happens around and in between the re-sew-cool process. Creative ideas, designing new products, craft happening with the leftovers, other artists we are admiring and a lot of crochet. I also make things under a label “sweet by and by” so there  are some accessories and home wares that take the limelight some days.

Our craftversation covers everything from family life, the past, feminism, politics, sustainability. Sometimes a tutorial.  Sometimes a crochet pattern. Occasionally there is a rant. Occasionally there is a story....Like life, there’s no rhyme or reason.
