I love the internet. I do. It’s this massive explosion of creativity and information and entertainment – it shows me that everywhere in the world people are doing things, just doing them, and while most of those things are negligible and stupid, when the pool of doing gets big enough awesome things emerge.

Warning: This post will be incredibly boring if you can’t sew/don’t like to sew/have no interest whatsoever in needlework. Just thought I’d let you know.
If you’re like me, and you have lots of scraps of formal-wear fabrics, and one person on your Christmas list that you forgot about until just now, then here is an [...]
