Sewing, craft & other random tutorials I have created
Here you can see a list of all of the sewing, technique, makeup, tool and other random tutorials I have created to try to help you out a bit!
I tried to group them by topic, to make it a little easier to find what you need, when you need it. They include full project tutorials (how to make something start to finish), technique tutorials (teaching you something to apply to your projects) and sometimes just quick things I thought might be helpful for you to know or know about.
All of the tutorials are hosted on DeviantART. You do not need an account there to view the tutorials, however, you do need one to leave me a comment (which I would absolutely love :3)
I do want to stress how much it would mean to me if you do not repost, redistribute, edit, or claim these tutorials as your own. Doing so just ruins it for everyone, as I’ll just take them down and not bother creating any more if I see this happening. Instead just link people to any of the tutorials, please and thank you.
