Why does a pillow make a good sewing project for beginners, you might ask? 1. It’s all straight stitching, with a few corners so you can practice pivoting. 2. There’s just a small amount of hand sewing on the pillow itself, which might sound daunting to a newbie, but hand sewing is a practical skill every seamstress should have. 3. Unlike clothing, you don’t have to worry too much about “fit” with a pillow. 4. Who doesn’t need a cool throw pillow or two? Functional projects are al...| WhatTheCraft

We made it to fall! It’s my favorite season by far, so I’m hoping 2020 doesn’t ruin it too much- fingers crossed! I partnered with Lowe’s on a 7 Fall Front Porch Ideas Video and wanted to share it with you guys! What I love about a front porch facelift is that it can be done in an afternoon (including painting the door) and makes a crazy big impact! I give it 5 stars… highly recommend!| East Coast Creative

Last month Lowe’s challenged me to hack a basic picnic table three different ways. It was a perfect at-home challenge that got my creative juices flowing. For this first table, my idea was to elevate the basic picnic table experience and give it a cool vibe. I ended up going a little boho and the results are probably my favorite of the three! I mean, I could totally see something like this for a casual backyard wedding. Check out the project below!| East Coast Creative

Hi Friends! A few weeks back I was challenged to ‘Purdy Up’ a space with the help of some of my favorite, go-to painting tools. Bet you can guess which ones….You all know I love me some Purdy—I’ve used their products on almost every makeover I’ve ever done. I always tell people choosing a paint color isn’t the only big decision when it comes to painting; using the right tools for the job can make it or break it as well! So, my challenge was helping a family of four who wa...| East Coast Creative
