What happens when two crafter sistas unite after three years of Covid19 lockdowns and travel restrictions? Of course, they sit and sift through all the material the older sista accumulated, discuss the possible new projects and laugh! That’s what we did on a whole week of August. Because the crazy is allowed on Sista &[...]

Older sista here. My one of the last (well, there are many unfinished ones are scattered around) project started with a torn vintage linen napkin/handkerchief with pretty embroidery. A kind lady gave it to me, saying “It has been in a drawer for years, one of my mom’s goodies but it is torn in places[...]
We had sent a handmade gift and a thank-you letter to our friends who are behind the Çul & Çaput Boutique. It was a letter to sisterhood of creativity, with love. They kindly posted the pics of the gift and the letter on their Insta account. Here is the link. And here is a rough[...]

Frogs spawn at the end of March, and you can see tadpoles in ponds in April. However, our April frog is already about to jump :D It could be that lockdown periods makes us jumpier than ever. We are full of ideas and our hands are busy with new projects but there is still no[...]

Our relationship with our mothers vary from person to person but[...]
Older sista wrote an article for Thrive Global titled "Solitude? You Wish!" It is about another ordinary (!) day of a crafter and her ever clashing inner selves (ha ha!) We hope you enjoy reading it during this holiday season and nudge us to write more. Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Click to read.

Thrifted yarns… a piece of fabric a friend want to throw away… a cherished piece of natural dye testing cloth by Beste Bonnard (older sista’s ecoprint teacher)… Those seemingly odd bits come together and begin to tell us about myriad possibilities of combinations… eventually, one of the probabilities will turn into a Sista&Sista Made product[...]
It does not matter: the size of the fabric or the color of the yarn or where you put the first stitch… you start without planning, even without thinking about the end result… you may draw a circle or spiral with a pencil but even that is not necessary… It is all about starting something[...]
