Welcome to Fixie Craft
Hey there — I’m Elowen Sinclair: pattern designer, relentless tinkerer, and the person behind Fixie Craft.
Making things by hand has shaped how I see the world. A straightforward stitch, a well-written pattern, or a tiny clever hack can quiet a busy mind, stretch your problem-solving muscles, and turn ordinary materials into something personal and lasting. That feeling — the one where a finished piece surprises you because you made it — is exactly why I started Fixie Craft.
Fixie Craft is a practical, friendly place for people who love to make. Here you’ll find clear, tested patterns, step-by-step tutorials, and project ideas that actually get made — not just pinned and forgotten. I design projects so they’re useful whether you’re just starting out, getting back into a hobby, or chasing a tougher challenge. Expect honest instructions, helpful photos (and sometimes diagrams), and tips that save you time and frustration.
Every post is created with intention: patterns that are wearable, giftable, or simply satisfying; small craft projects that teach a technique; and ideas that spark your next original design. I want Fixie Craft to be the kind of place you return to when you need a creative pick-me-up, a weekend project, or the confidence to try something new.
Thanks for dropping by — I’m glad you’re here. If you make something from Fixie Craft, I’d love to see it.
Happy making!
