🚨 SET YOUR ALARMS 🚨

Our very first garment Crochet-A-Long goes on sale Saturday, May 31st at 10:00am! ☀️🧶✨

This summer we’ll be making a made-to-measure crochet top using Magic, our favorite lightweight 100% pima cotton yarn. Whether you want yours striped, color blocked, bold and colorful, soft and neutral, fitted, oversized, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you create a top that feels completely you.

And before anyone says “I could never make a garment…” 👀

That’s exactly why we’re doing this as a Crochet-A-Long.

Your $125 registration includes:
☀️ 4 balls of Yarnalia Magic yarn
🧵 An exclusive Makeshift-designed printed pattern
🎁 CAL-exclusive goodies
✨ Customization and color planning help
🪡 Ongoing support, troubleshooting, and accountability

Plus the opportunity to attend our optional Kickoff Workshop on June 21st where we’ll tackle gauge swatching, measurements, fit, and all the scary garment stuff together. And optional August 2nd finishing workshop answering all your burning questions about blocking cotton and weaving in ends that don’t felt.

This isn’t just buying a pattern.

It’s joining a community of people all working toward the same goal: actually finishing a wearable and proudly saying, “Thanks, I made it.” 💖

Oh, and we intentionally designed this pattern to be non-gendered because great handmade clothes should be for everyone. 🌈🥰

✨ Registration opens Saturday, May 31st at 10:00am.
⏰ Set your alarms.
🧶 Limited seats available.

🌭✨ GLIZZY WEEK 2026 ✨🌭

You asked for summer workshops… unfortunately I heard “wiener wiener wiener”.

From June 29 – July 4, we’re fully embracing the glizzy lifestyle with an entire week of hot dog themed workshops including cross stitch, embroidery, crochet, punch needle, bargello, beaded bag charms, and more. Yes, this is real. Yes, we are serving Costco hot dogs. Yes, there are prizes for crafting the most glizzies.

Expect:
🌭 exclusive Makeshift swag
🌭 parking lot hot dogs
🌭 chaotic summer camp energy
🌭 tiny hot dog accessories
🌭 “got that dog in me” levels of commitment

This might be the most unhinged thing I’ve ever done… which means it will also be my greatest accomplishment. 

Class booking opens MAY 31 at 10am and some of these workshops have very limited seats. Start mentally preparing now, and don’t forget to practice your jaw stretches.

🚀 COUNTDOWN TO OUR ANNIVERSARY 🚀
Two Weeks Left!!!
This time last year was absolutely iconic. I placed my very first (very large) first order with a distributor and had no idea what I was doing! And that’s how we ended up with 54 hot glue guns 😂😂😂
It came on a huge pallet we had to accept in a parking spot because we don’t have a back door LOL!
We got the rest of our yarn for the yarn wall, and started configuring the garland bar. After trying 20 different containers, the most expensive ones ended up being the perfect fit of course. Ain’t that just the way… 🧶
I finished the embroidery section, and then we installed the handmade register which made the store start to feel real! 🪡
After weeks of being blinded by the afternoon sun because we are western facing, we decided to have automatic blinds installed to help keep our vision in tact.
The workshop chairs showed up! The feeling I got seeing all the chairs around the tables I was so hopeful to fill was so overwhelming. I just remember how excited I was to get to share this with the world…. 🥹
A lot has changed since these pics were taken. But one thing is still the same, I still love looking around the store when no one else is there, taking it all in, and smiling thinking about all the people I can’t wait to see in the store. 🥰
This past year has been so special. Every single day. Every single person. Every single smile and hug and tear. All the work to build this has been so worth it and then some.
Two weeks until we get to celebrate this amazing, beautiful community TOGETHER!! May 2nd, ALL DAY!
