There is still time to add that special handmade touch to your Easter celebration. Why not put on some cheerful music, gather your supplies, and enjoy some peaceful crafting time? These little makes are as fun to create as they are delightful to display. With Easter just days away, I wanted to share a few of my favourite simple projects that always bring me joy.

This compact yet surprisingly spacious pouch is an easy-to-sew design that is both simple and practical, coming together in just a few hours. Its straightforward construction and secure snap closure make it perfect for anyone looking to create something useful in no time. Whether as an everyday accessory or a thoughtful handmade gift, the Seamless Snap Pouch effortlessly blends practicality with handmade charm.
I have a collection of small and large blocks, embroidered pieces, and various unfinished experiments - some were created during pattern testing, while others were trials of new ideas that never developed into complete patterns or finished projects.
Have you ever heard of "Slow Stitching Scrolls" or "Meditation Scrolls"? I am particularly drawn to the name "Meditation Scroll" because it beautifully reflects the heart of this craft - slow, repetitive soothing stitching that bring a sense of calm and comfort without any pressure.
Well, another year of the Sip Tea and EPP party has come to an end, and what a wonderful year it’s been! It might not have been as productive as we hoped at the start, but we can still be proud of everything we have achieved. One of the highlights was our fun and successful Mystery sew-along. It was incredible to see your creativity and passion for sewing as well as the support and encouragement.
Every Thursday, without fail, Larisa and I showed up to cheer you on and share inspiration through our own creations. We asked questions, exchanged tips and ideas and simply enjoyed the warmth of being together with our wonderful sewing community.
The feedback on our Motivational Thursdays has been amazing this year. It’s been so rewarding to hear how these sessions have helped you make significant progress on your long-term projects. That’s what the heart of the Sip Tea and EPP party was about from the very start: a low-pressure, limited-effort event that brought joy and connection.
We are incredibly proud of how the party grew over the years and touched so many people. It brought so much joy, creativity, and countless wonderful memories, for which we will always be grateful. However, as bittersweet as it is, it is time to say goodbye to the Sip Tea and EPP party. Larisa and I need to refocus our time and energy on other important aspects of our lives.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us - from the first days when the Sip Tea and EPP party was just an idea to the amazing community it became over the years. Your participation, creativity and enthusiasm have meant so much to us and it’s been a privilege to share this space with all of you. The connections we have made, the projects we have celebrated together and the support you have shown one another are what made this experience so special. We couldn’t have done it without you and we will always cherish the memories we have created together. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️
We wish you a Happy Holiday Season filled with warmth, love, and peace. May the New Year bring endless opportunities and new adventures! With love, Larisa and Irina ❤️
