80's Punk Fringe Glove Video

In today's video for Meg Allan Cole Crafts I show you how to make a sweet 80's punk vegan leather fringe glove as an homage to one of my all-time favorite John Hughes movies, Some Kind of Wonderful.

I have been dreaming of the gloves Watts wears in this film forever and design a simpler version to suit the vegan leather I picked up at my local fabric shop.


Here is a template to use for your pattern piece. Make sure it yours is twice the width of your hand plus two inches.


Do yourself a favor and listen to the soundtrack. It is timeless, epic, and incredibly atmospheric.

Flashdance Welding Video

In this epic video, I show you how to transform a vintage typecase into an industrial table. You can weld, as I show how, or add sweet mid-century hairpin legs. Uh, be sure to relish the epic Flashdance dream sequence. Yeah, you read that right.

Just my dog

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog."
- Gene Hill



May everyone feel the love I have with my dearest dogs.
