This pattern for a double cloth face mask from @craftpassion is a winner. It fits well, and since the straps can be removed, it’s very adjustable. We used the modification to be able to include extra filters. For this one, we used woven cotton for the outside, and flannel for the inside, and t-shirt fabric for the straps. Anyone up for a Sew-Along over Zoom on how to make this? Send us a DM with your email! We’ll try to record one, too! #makeathometogether https://ift.tt/2J5FBqg

Slow down. Limiting movement is allowing us time to look around, and do things we’d always been putting off—mending the things that need repairing, rekindling old hobbies and interests. And though we’ve been advocates of face-to-face learning these past 8 years, the pandemic happening around us allows us to explore more accessible ways of learning for the time being. The physical studio is closed indefinitely for now, so we’re taking learning to the virtual classroom. We’ve returned to our partnership with @skillshare, and though we don’t have classes of our own up at the moment, we’d like to share with you the timely opportunity to jump right back into learning and making with 2 free months of premium membership. Just head over to https://skl.sh/craftmnl OR use the coupon code igamb2203 upon checkout on their site. This applies to both new, and returning members. Hooray for access to premium classes again! ✨ Please do know that we may receive commissions if any of you good folks do sign up. 😊 We’re pretty keen on making, and keeping busy during the community quarantine. It helps dispel some anxiety, as well as keeps us productive. What classes are you keen on taking? We’ll be sharing what classes we’ll be taking, as well as what projects we make in the coming days. Keep safe, everyone. https://ift.tt/3d1usV9

In case you guys missed our IG Stories announcement the other day, we’re closed for now, and we’re postponing this weekend’s workshops. We’re playing things by ear, to see what we should do in order to continue work responsibly. As small businesses go, we’re not really prepared for something like this, and are expecting a rough road should the situation worsen. We are however, exploring creative ways of sharing the love for making, which we think is even more necessary now than ever, as we hunker down. Keep safe, keep your hands nimble (and clean). 😷 https://ift.tt/33plL2N

As Baybayin ᜊᜌ͓ᜊᜌᜒᜈ͓ gains popularity, and a wider audience becomes aware of the presence of this indigenous form of writing, let’s have a look at other scripts that are used in their respective communities up to the present. Focusing on the living scripts of Hanunuo, Buhid, and Palaw’an, let’s explore beyond the Tagalog Baybayin, and create poetry in the traditional form of the Ambahan in this fun, and informative session with @hiblasanghabi this weekend! Register on our website to save a seat, or send us a DM, so we can help you out. ✨ https://ift.tt/31OOeOr

Remarkable how the end of a day can look just like the beginning of a new one. You gotta admit how beautiful they are though, as markers for endings and beginnings. Wherever you’re at, be it still at an ending, or at a beginning, or somewhere stuck in the middle—even as the beginning of of the year whizzes by, it’s your pace, and it’s not a race. We begin the year with gratitude for everyone who made the year that was, what it was, and with anticipation and excitement for what comes next. Cheers to 2020. Let’s make this year ours. ✨ PS: If you zoom in, you see turbines on the horizon. 😊 This was taken at the end of the day, after making with an awesome group of folks at a wind farm in Pagudpud. https://ift.tt/2QAuYz3
