May's Pinterest Board of the Month

This month's Pinterest Board of the Month (BOTM) is all about sewing some new clothes for me! Selfish Sewing Week has come and gone, but Me-Made-May and Sewing Indie Month are in full swing. So for the month of May, I've decided to focus on making myself a new wardrobe.

As an avid sewist, do you know how many times I've been asked if I made what I was wearing? Too many times I've replied: no. It's time to change that.

Datura Blouse from Deer and Doe -which I have ordered and can't wait to get sewing!

Top Picks From April's BOTM

I want to learn to crochet. I have some issues with yarn, but I'll need to get over them so I can get started on these great crochet projects. I've started collecting some ideas as part of my Pinterest Board of the Month (BOTM), and here are a few of my favourites.

Check out this adorable crocheted mason jar cozy with handle, courtesy of the Jesus Sauvage blog. And it looks so great with one of Lia Griffith's paper flowers!

Spring at Edith & Kaye

I have been busy creating some new spring products for my Etsy shop and for the Mercer Collective this past weekend. I have been up past my elbows in beautiful florals, lace and spring colours! I wanted to share with you a few things that you can expect to see in my shop very soon.

Lace + florals = perfection. I am so pleased with how these scarves turned out, and I've received some great feedback on these already, so thank you! I also did a more punchy version of this scarf with a bright blue lace and an orange ombre chiffon -check it out!

A Simple Painted Trivet

Got an extra ceramic tile left over from a reno project? You can make your own trivet, or hot mat, or whatever you prefer to call it. And no, this does not require going to a fancy pottery painting place, or a purchasing fancy kiln!

Thread-Wrapped Bangle Bracelet: Weaving Technique

I hope you've been enjoying my wrapped bracelet projects this week. It's been fun coming up with different ways to make them. This is my third and final bracelet wrapping tutorial and I actually used thread this time!

Braided Ribbon Bangle DIY

This is my second of three bracelet wrapping tutorials this week. On Monday I showed you how to lace-wrap a bangle. Today I am showing you how to wrap bangles with ribbon using a braiding technique.

Lace Wrapped Bangle Bracelet

Have you ever made thread-wrapped bracelets? I had some bangle bracelets sitting in a pile of old jewelry and have been wanting to give it a try. I ended up experimenting a bit and came up with 3 variations of thread-wrapped bracelets. I'll be sharing all 3 this week!

For my first bracelet, I used the same technique as thread-wrapping, but used lace instead of thread. Here is how you can make your very own.
