For the knitters and crochet addicts out there, this simple needle holder is a reeeeally useful handmade gift! It's a little leather sleeve, which helps keep your needles together when you store them. No more lost needles! This project was actually featured in @homespunmagazine last year - my first time appearing in Australian print! Get the tutorial over on my blog - just head to the knit section (or search for "needle holder"). • • • #wool #yarn #knitting #knitter #knit #knitstagram #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #crochet #makersgonnamake #maker #mancraft #mancrafts #gift #christmasgift #diygift #handmadegift #leathercraft #leather #leathercrafts

Why have a regular bow tie, when you can make one that looks like a holly leaf?! 🤵🏼🎄 After all the great feedback on my Halloween bat bow tie (see it on my blog if you missed it🦇), I thought I’d make a festive edition. I think this could be the start of a new tradition? 🤔 • The FREE template and complete tutorial is over on my blog now! I made this with my trusty @singersewinguk machine, including the decorative top-stitching. Link in bio to take a closer look! 🎅🏼👍🏻 • • • #christmas #christmascrafts #hollyleaf #bowtie #mancrafts #singersewing #makersofig #makersmovement #makersgunnamake #getyourcraftsseen #craftersofinstagram #makercommunity #handmademovement #creativedaily #creativehappylife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq78DLTFhOo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hd037owr29gr

Here's a shot from yesterday's workshop at @wiseheartstudio in Derbyshire. I had a great time teaching how to make bow ties! I made the one I'm wearing here as a demo in the class - of course I had to model it afterwards too! 😅 • • • #bowtie #bowties #dickiebow #dapper #mensstyle #mensfashion #manstyle #mancrafts #fashion #style #instafashion #instastyle #workshop #imadethis #diy #handmade #workshop #craftblog #craftblogger #blogger #makersgonnamake (at Derbyshire)
