Eyeshade Project from Dorm Decor

January 31, 2011, Nik

My old coworker and Dorm Decor coauthor, Theresa Gonzalez, is now the lead editor at Crochet Today. Her very first issue is available now! Check your local newsstands or their website to get your copy today. She’s an incredibly talented lady, and I’m so excited for her and eager to see all the new projects she helped produce.

A while back Theresa made the great video above of her creating the ‘Hangover Helper Eyeshade’ from our book. This project can be completed with or without a sewing machine and is a great way to use up fabric scraps. It also makes a great Valentine’s Day gift for a fellow tired stitcher when stuffed with a bit of lavender.
