Favorite Replay: Kate - The Last Homely House

Make and Decorate with Stephanie: Sew, Quilt, Knit & Home Decor

08/13/21 • 104 min

My guest on this episode is Kate and her amazing YouTube channel is The Last Homely House. Kate lives alone in a little cottage on a hill farm in Northumberland right at the top of England, next stop Scotland.
I absolutely love Kate’s YouTube Channel. Her videos always transport me to a beautiful bucolic landscape where she shares a glimpse into her creative world with all of us. You will see a bit of gardening, quilt piecing, knitting, paper crafts, sewing, hand quilting, cooking, baking and even chocolate making! Oh, and she is also a beekeeper - with beautifully painted bee hives (I’m not sure I am calling it the right name - but its the wooden boxes where the bees live and make honey)

I hope you enjoy Kate’s YouTube channel as much as I do. Also, be sure to comment on Kate’s videos and/or Instagram if you learned about her channel from the Make and Decorate Podcast :)

In my chat segment, I update a bit on the progress of the deck container garden, and I review a couple of sewing products and online resource: Tulip needles; Tula Pink Stiletto; Connecting Threads online shop and catalog. They now carry Tulip needles and other Japanese sewing notions.

Make and Decorate with Stephanie: Sew, Quilt, Knit & Home Decor

10/11/18 • 62 min

On this episode I give a full recap of the Sew Sweetness Retreat I attended the last weekend of September. There was a guest instructor from Blue Calla Patterns, Celine Alleart, and we made a bag from her pattern, The Boronia Bowler Bag. Sara Lawson was also an instructor, and we made the cute crossbody/messenger style bag from her pattern called the Satellite Bag.
Also, I review a couple of subscription boxes I recently started, the fall FabFitFun box, and Grove Collaborative (all natural products)
I finish the episode with a segment on interior painting tips. Many people in the northern hemisphere are heading back indoors and sprucing up their homes for the holidays. Learn about paint quality, finishes and choosing colors for your home. I talk about mostly Benjamin Moore paint, but also give tips on big box store paint lines, as well as introduce you to a high end natural pigment paint from the UK, Farrow and Ball.
