About Us

Welcome to Craft Basics, where we hope to show you the magic of creating something beautiful and useful with your own hands.

Meet Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah. I started crafting when I was little. My grandma Lily was a good teacher, who told me how to stitch and knit. As a grew older, I decided to take classes to study sewing, knitting, and crocheting more systematically. It turned to be a good choice that changed my life. I love turning the colorful spools of thread and swathes of fabric into real pieces. For me it’s not just a hobby but something that I do for a living. 

As crafting is a vast world, to make sure the knowledge we passed on is professional and reliable, I will also invite some of my friends, who have their own areas of expertise, to share their skills and stories on Craft Basics.

“Crafts became my whole world! I love trying new things, from quilts to beads. Everyday objects become something special, and I want everyone to share that joy!”

Meet Christian

Hey, I’m Christian, Sarah’s husband! While Sarah grew up surrounded by crafts, mine was a different story. I used to be all about tech – computers were my world. But everything changed when I got this incredible hand-carved chess set as a gift. Each piece felt so alive, like it had a story to tell.

Funny thing is, around the same time, I ended up needing a change in careers. So, one thing led to another, and here I am – a full-blown woodworker! Pretty amazing, right?

“Working with wood is like a fun mix of exactness and making things look nice, for me and my wife. We love taking rough pieces of wood and turning them into pretty things you can use. We hope our website shows you how cool wood can be, just like we think!”
