bateas and skirts

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

when i made this skirt i knew i liked it (of course!) but i didn’t know it would become my go-to skirt…i’ve been wearing it all the time, it’s fun to wear and so easy to throw on and go out. i bought these pairs of embroidered pockets downtown years before i started madewithlovebyhannah, but they […]

crocheted hex sign rugs

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

some motifs i find myself a little obsessed with throughout the years, hex signs are one of them… rug is 28 inches across. this is actually the second pattern i made, after a little miscalculating the first one is turning out huge…i’m estimating it’s going to be 4 or 5 feet across when i’m finished! i just […]

is it just me or did may really zip by? i’ve been doing some serious (late) spring cleaning around here. it was getting really hard to keep track of fabric. when i first started madewithlovebyhannah i only had a handful of designs, 7 years later i have 72 designs in multiple colorways…that’s about 138+ different […]

thrift store button art

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

found this the other day. i was pretty thrilled, it’s kind of perfect… it must’ve been a kit, you can see the placement printing on the felt under the buttons. it reminds me a little of these. and it was 30% off the already perfect price.

painted clothespins

Monday, January 31st, 2011

hi there! it’s been a while! i saw these cuties online and had to make some… spray painted, then handpainted and clear coated. now, before you start to question my sanity, let me tell you i already did that when i started to paint clothespins (clothespins? for crying out loud, what am i doing? i don’t […]

and another toadstool project

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

with all the sewing that goes on around here, i end up with alot of empty plastic cone spools. i think there must be something i can make with them so i can’t throw them away. it seemed pretty obvious that they would make great toadstool stems…so with some styrofoam balls, a glue gun and some rug […]
