New Crochet Pattern: Vintage Purse

A vintage purse that is dainty, elegant and fine enough for even the most prestigious affairs. Although it is quite delicate, you will find that it's still sturdy enough to hold basic makeup and change.


Fast Gift: Sewing Susan

This sewing susan can be crocheted in a jiffy. I like to sew and I love helpful little gadgets, especially handmade ones. A great project to make for a gift. When I was first learning to sew, I treasured my own sewing accessories, so be sure to remember that special someone who is now learning to sew.


Favorite Pattern: Baby Cap, Booties, Sacque

Looking for a baby gift to crochet? Try something different than the usual crochet blanket and make booties or a cap. Make the set of all three items, or any one of them separately. I wish I had found these patterns when my son was born two years ago, but I had a tough time finding vintage baby crochet patterns. Cap pattern,  booties pattern,  sacque pattern.
