Round up: Mix tapes

In: Embroidery, Sewing, felt, music

Well, this week went way too fast and I feel like I barely scratched the surface (yes, terrible pun intended) with music crafts. I will definitely need to revisit this topic again.

I wanted create an outlet to share all the great crafty things I find that I would love to make, if only I had the time and the motivation to actually complete them. When the mood strikes and I do actually make something, you can read about that here as well.
