Are you ready to commit to 100 days of making?
This spring, we’re inviting you to craft alongside Creativebug members and artists in a powerful 16-week live journey inspired by the global 100 Day Project. Beginning February 13 and continuing through June 5, we’ll gather for an hour every Friday to create together, stay accountable, and build momentum in a supportive, inspiring space.
Each live session will be hosted by long-time Creativebug instructor, Faith Hale (@faaaaaaaaaaaith ), and feature co-working time plus conversations with guest artists around intention, creative zig-zags, committing to an artistic practice, and the challenges that inevitably arise along the way. Within this structure, we’ll show up imperfectly, make boldly, and let momentum do the heavy lifting. Think of it as a standing date with your art—in a virtual room full of people who truly get it.
👉 Register now for the Creativebug 100 Day Coworking Group at the 🔗 on our IG Page.
👉 You can also register for our free 100 Day live preview on February 13th on our regular live registration page, /lives.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Crafting and working with your hands can boost your well-being and heal your mind. You've probably felt this anecdotally and may have seen the recent trend in "analog bags." There are more and more studies looking into how engaging in handcrafts is good for your mood and your brain. Learn more about the mental health benefits of knitting & crocheting on our blog. 🔗 on our shop grid!

💙 Upcycled Denim: Side Seam Remix!
Give an old pair of jeans a fresh new life. Sandra (@sandraleedesign ) walks you through opening the outer side seams and inserting a fabric panel that’s equal parts practical and eye-catching. You’ll learn how to reuse the original hems for a polished finish, navigate a tricky Y-seam, and add sashiko-style decorative stitching for texture and detail. Go bold with a wide panel for extra movement, or keep it subtle with a narrow insert that adds just a hint of design. Mix indigo shades, play with contrast, and turn an everyday pair of jeans into something completely your own.

✂️ Author, illustrator, and maker Sanae Ishida (@sanaeishida ) shows you in her new class - and it’s not as complicated as you may think. Starting with a lower body sloper, which you can learn to make in her foundational lower body sloper class, Sanae teaches you how to make adjustments and draft a pattern, which you’ll use to cut and sew your leggings with knit fabric and an elastic waistband. Sewing your own clothes is so rewarding, and you’ll quickly have a collection of comfortable leggings that fit your unique body.

🤯 Expand how you see, think, and create in e bond ‘s NEW class, DRAWING DISRUPTED.
✏️ Through 15 inventive drawing prompts, e (@eisroughdraft ) focuses on the “how” of making as much as the “what,” gently disrupting familiar patterns and opening new pathways into your process. You’ll experiment with disappearing drawings, asemic writing, drawing with two hands, and unexpected materials. Instead of chasing a polished result, e invites you to ask: How can we look differently? How can we pay closer attention? Some experiments may surprise you, some may feel a little uncomfortable, but all are designed to get you out of your head and onto the page.
