I have this blue sweater I just love, even though it’s old and getting pilled and some of the buttons are falling off. I recently noticed some holes in the elbows too! But I’m not willing to go down without a fight, so I decided to repair it. Rather than try to do a subtle […]

I know March is mending month on CRAFT, but it’s not March yet! Instead of fixing his old ripped pants, my boyfriend preferred I use them as scrap fabric (believe me, I offered to patch them). Well, the legs of pants are long tubes, perfect for making a bag for your yoga mat, so here’s […]

Flashback: The Electric Tank Top

By Goli Mohammadi

Goli Mohammadi
