Article - Swedish Weaving, Huck Embroidery

Huck Weaving or Huck Embroidery or Huck Darning is also known as Swedish Weaving. The thread is woven under the top threads (called Floats) of the material and does not go through to the other side of the material.

Very popular in the 1930s and 1940s, this type of embroidery has once again become popular. This craft is a combination of embroidery, weaving and darning, and is used on towels, blankets, tablecloths, placemats, aprons, runners, pillows, tote bags, gift bags, Christmas tree skirt and stockings, and basically anything else you can think of.

Article - Layette, Baby Gift

A layette is a set of baby clothes required by a newborn baby. The layette can be a matching set, or assembled from separate baby items. Many people love the opportunity to knit or crochet a layette and certainly, new mothers love to receive them.

How to Crochet Covered Buttons

Beautiful buttons can turn an ordinary garment into a unique fashion item. Often, when you purchase a blouse, the buttons are quite ordinary. You can remove the buttons and cover them with crochet thread to match or complement the colour, and reattach them.
