industrial drawer upcycled
Who loves a good industrial style DIY? ME! This one is fun and super easy! Y’all already know that I’m a little bit crazy. I try to keep it all to myself in real life, but occasionally it just kinda creeps out of me.

How to make your own bias tape
Meet my newest favorite toy: my bias tape maker. If you’ve bought any bias tape lately, you’ll know that it averages 50 cents to $1 per FOOT. Yeah, it’s not cheap. I bought my machine at Wal-Mart for about $65 (everyday price). I wasn’t really sure if this little toaster-sized gadget was worth the price, but thought I’d take a shot. Kinda looks like some torture device from the deepest basement of the psychology department, huh? It all folds up into a neat little box. All the pieces close ... continue reading...
