About Elizabeth Chandler Designs

Elizabeth Chandler Designs is a place where I keep track of everything crafty, whether one of my own designs or something someone else created. Crafts of every kind will have a place here to serve as a reference and future inspiration. Basically, my website is a personal craft journal, but secretly I would love for other people to enjoy it just as much as I do! With that said, I do sell some of my projects. If you see something you like, contact me and I’ll make it for you or pull it from my inventory.

As for my background, I have a day job as an accountant but I try to do something creative every day. Doing crafty things on nights and weekends helps me to stay sane and not get too bogged down by numbers. I have always loved arts and crafts and recently tried to limit my hobbies exclusively to sewing, but I missed all the fun things you can do with other mediums. So I’m embracing creative arts of all kinds; like baking, pottery, paper crafts, and anything else that strikes my fancy. I have a special fondness for repurposing, upcycling, refashioning, or whatever the new word for recycling is. There are numerous ways to take an item and change it into something else equally fun and fashionable. I’ll usually try to use materials I have before running to the store, but the lure of a craft store also entices me.

I love seeing artistic expression in myself as well as in other people. Even if they deny it, I believe every person has the capacity for creativity. Hopefully my website will inspire you to make something for yourself. Feel free to email me with your ideas or to link to someone else’s. I just may feature you on my blog. If you live in the Greenville, SC area, I teach beginner sewing lessons to both individuals and small groups. Check out my Lessons page for more information.
