Hi friends,

This is a hard note to write. I’m closing my studio at the end of the month, and over the next few weeks my equipment will be sold or moved into storage while I figure out what’s next. Your encouragement and orders have meant the world to me, and I’m profoundly grateful for every message, purchase, and kind word.

Finished inventory available to pick up or shop: through @January 2, 2026

Local pickup by arrangement: through Jan 2

Shipping pause while I close and inventory: @December 19th, 2026 → January 15th, 2026

What to expect

Orders placed after Dec 22 may ship in mid January or be arranged for local pickup.

I’ll post what’s left in stories and on my site as I work through bins and shelves.

From my workbench to yours

Thank you for letting my handmade pieces be part of your days. This isn’t a forever goodbye – just a pause while I steady things and listen for the next right step. If you want to stay in the loop when I’m ready to reopen or do small drops, staying on this list is the easiest way.

If you need something time‑sensitive, send me an email and I’ll do my best to help.

With love and gratitude,

April

In my studio, every thread has a past and every piece has a second chance. As a former theatre costumer and owner of a small batch production facility, I learned to see possibility in off‑cuts, rescued fabrics, and the little remnants that most people overlook. Today, that love of reinvention shapes everything I make at AprilEnchanting Handmade.

Why I Sew With Scraps and Upcycled Fabrics

Creativity loves constraints. Working with irregular pieces pushes me to design smarter, stitch bolder, and find unexpected pairings of color and texture.

Nothing is “just leftover.” That tiny bit of jacquard might become a pocket. A strip of denim could strengthen a seam. Embroidery turns plain cloth into something spellbinding.

Beauty with a conscience. Using what already exists reduces waste and keeps gorgeous materials out of landfills.

The Joy of Donated Stashes

Many of my materials come from donated fabric stashes—treasures that sat untouched in someone else’s sewing room. Instead of gathering dust, they find new purpose as notebook covers, pouches, and embroidered pieces you can use every day. I sort, match, and piece them with care so each item feels both artful and practical.

What Upcycling Means For You

Feel‑good gifting and buying: Your purchase helps turn forgotten textiles into useful, durable pieces that will live a new life in your hands.

One‑of‑a‑kind charm: No two cuts are exactly alike. Variations in weave, print placement, or stitching make each item genuinely unique.

Built to be used: I design for daily life—reinforced seams, thoughtful linings, and details that stand up to real wear.

From Studio Scraps to Everyday Magic

I love the moment when separate pieces—linen from a vintage stash, a slice of wool, a ribbon of cotton—come together under the needle and become something whole. That’s the heart of my work: transforming the almost‑forgotten into the always‑useful, and infusing each piece with a little wonder.

Shop the Collection

If you’re looking for handmade goods that are beautiful, practical, and planet‑kind, you’re in the right place. Explore the latest pieces, and know that your purchase keeps the cycle of creativity going—giving good materials the second life they deserve.

Thank you for supporting upcycled craft and small‑studio making. It means the world, and it makes a real difference.

This season, I’m stitching little sanctuaries for your ideas—embroidered notebook covers made in my studio, designed to be carried, scuffed, loved, and used. Each cover features unique embroidered panels with tactile threads and clean finishing, so your notes feel special the moment you open the cover.

Two sizes, one intention

Mini Composition Pocket size: 4.5″ x 3.25″

Slips into apron pockets, small bags, and jacket interiors. Great for lists, sketches, and quick captures.

Field Notes size: 5.5″ x 3.5″ A larger, roomier notebook cover

Gives space for longer journaling, project notes, and everyday planning, while still slim enough for your tote.

Both sizes are lightweight, durable, and made to be refilled—so you can keep the cover you love while your pages evolve.

What makes them special

Unique embroidered panels from my studio stash

Smooth, clean construction with a soft-in-hand feel

Slim profile that travels beautifully

Refillable design for long-term use

Multiple designs so you can choose your vibe

Cover comes with a notebook already inside, which can be replaced once your pages are filled

Each cover is unique, so no two look exactly alike—your cover will have its own mix of textures and color, a small piece of studio magic made just for your daily rhythm.

Materials and care

Embroidered textile exterior with a durable backing

Fits standard pocket or classic notebook inserts

Care: Spot clean only. Avoid high heat on embroidery.

For All You Magical Ephemera Collectors Out There…

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve recently acquired a fascinating collection of cursed and haunted dolls from around the world. As someone who’s spent years delving into the occult community and studying the properties of cursed objects, I’m excited to share these eerie treasures with you.

For those who know me, it’s no secret that I have a deep fascination with the darker side of history and the objects that hold secrets and stories beyond their surface level. And let me tell you, this collection does not disappoint. From antique porcelain figures to handmade cloth dolls, each one has its own unique history of sorrow, tragedy, and even malevolence.

I’ve always been drawn to objects with a dark past, and this collection is no exception. Each doll has its own story to tell, from the whispers of ancient rituals to the eerie presence that seems to follow them. And as someone who’s spent years studying the properties of cursed objects, I can attest to their power to captivate and unsettle.

If you’re ready to add a touch of the unknown to your collection, be sure to check out these cursed and haunted dolls. Just be warned: some say that collecting these objects can come with a price – one that may haunt you for eternity.

View my latest collection of haunted and cursed dolls today and discover the dark beauty of the world’s most mysterious playthings.

Hello Colorado! It’s spring. No. It’s Winter again! LOL! Due to the weather right now, the Makers Market event I was to be vending at tomorrow is now canceled. There are more events coming so stay tuned for those notifications.

I recently added an Auctions page here on the AprilEnchanting Handmade website that will feature all of my eBay auction items. I’ll be offering vintage sewing related items, as well as various collectibles, dolls and other items.

All of my handmade goods will either be offered on the shop page or at live markets and festivals only. And there are quite a few new items that will be listed there soon. I will also have some market announcements coming up for the Spring and Summer. Look for those in the coming weeks.

I hope you will peruse the Auctions page from time to time and see what I have on offer. I appreciate any support of my tiny, local business.

I hope your Spring season is filled with abundance and joyful play!
