This is an all-inclusive resource to help you preserve any stack of clothing memories. If you have questions at any point along the way, the discussion forum is there for you to post questions and photos.

Closet to Keepsake: Memorial Ornaments

$9.99
In this beginner-friendly mini-course, you’ll learn how to create heart-shaped, double-sided ornaments from flannel shirts, ties, jeans, pajamas, and even wedding dresses. I cover the basics of preparing fabrics, fussy cutting, fusing interfacing, assembling the pieces, and adding a satin-stitched edge. Students will walk away with finished ornaments that can be adorned with ribbon loops, bows, or button details. Whether you're making one or a hundred, this is the perfect way to preserve memories and share them with loved ones.

Button Trees & No-Sew Ornaments

$14.99
Designed for button collectors and craft enthusiasts alike, this no-stress class turns colorful button stashes into whimsical trees and ornaments. I walk through every step of transforming buttons into art—from prepping different types of buttons (two-hole, four-hole, and single shank) to building a sturdy, decorative base. Learn three distinct attachment methods, including no-sew and minimal-sew techniques, plus how to craft the wooden spool “tree trunk” and coordinating mini tree skirt. With plenty of inspiration for color combinations and variations, this course guarantees you’ll never look at your button jar the same way again.
