Stitches and Purls

Thoughts, projects, and a few yarns from a self taught knitting obsessive, crochet & sewing enthusiast, and lover of all things DIY. (i.e. my escape to my happy place)

Fun little revamp with this #estatesalefind 😊. Removed the sleeves ✅ and made it v-necked (which can go in front or back) ✅. I think I can wear it in public now 🤣✂️❤️🤷🏻‍♀️ #stitchesandpurls #sewing #diy #vintagerevamp #beforeandafter https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6lQjrBXDrNe7ThjBhOs6SqXaHE-pqU_urIXc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vigropwtwupe

When it must have fringe (and all you have is fingernail clippers) it may take forever but you have plenty of time🧣😍✈️ #planeknitting #stitchesandpurls #knittersofinstagram #alldone🤗

Testing patterns for the dining room “wallpaper” 🌿🌱🌼🌷. Inspired by vintage botanicals but with a little more whimsy #stencilart #diy #stitchesandpurls #snowdaysmakingmecrazyandcreative 😆

Yesterday's #estatesalefind became today's #diy. This midcentury chair was a gift from my Grandmommy (from her living room) and I love this midcentury screen printed Japanese fabric for it that I found yesterday 😍#inspirations #stitchesandpurls #sewing
