Craft Passion

I came across Craft Passion a few months ago when I was looking for ideas on what to do with old shirts…I ran into this idea and had to show and tell!  I told Joanne that we wanted to feature her because we love when we find answers to our How Does She…question.  She hit the HowDoesShe?… recycle old t-shirts  square on the nose.     Then I found a tutorial on what to do with old sheets and then…Scroll down and you’ll see!!!

Her site has beautiful pictures with great tutorials and yep…she can sew more than a straight line.  I will learn more sewing tricks someday:), but until I do, all you curvy line sewers check out these crafts and dust off the ol’ sewing machine and get busy saving the earth and sewing!

I asked Joanne to send in some information about her…she seemed so mysterious because there is no ‘about’ section on her page…so I was excited to see what she’d send our way and WOW she’s got an impressive resume!!!

She is the Business owner of an engineering company.  She holds a Master Degree (UK) of Engineering Business Management.  She has taught herself how to craft and started in first grade…it was a crochet water tumbler holder!

Here we go with Joanne from craft passion:

“I started Craft Passion more than a year ago to share my passion in crafted handmade. I love to sew, crochet and knit.  Due to recent global warming, I added some recycles crafts. You will find lots of practical tutorials and patterns in Craft Passion.  ‘How do I find time to make them and prepare so many tutorials while having to work full time and take care of 2 kids? Passion is the key that drives me there, a helpful and understanding hubby gives me strength, 2 beautiful kids inspired me.” – Joanne

Here are Craft Passion’s recycled crafts!!!
