Made by Hand- A Year of Creativity, Community & Handwork
Made by Hand is an online creative membership co-created by Dawn Heese (Linen Closet Designs) and Bonnie Sullivan (All Through the Night) for those who love stitching, creating, and making time for handwork.
This is more than a collection of patterns—it’s a year-long creative journey designed to inspire you, teach you new skills, and connect you with a warm, supportive community of makers who value slow, thoughtful work.
All content is exclusive to members and delivered digitally. There is no shipping, and you may use any fabric you like—kits are optional, not required.
📅 Registration opens January 10–January 28 and then closes for the year.
Once registered, you’ll receive access to our private Facebook group, where all patterns, tutorials, and community interaction take place.

Really enjoyed the projects and loved the way you set it up each month. DH
I must comment that this has been an excellent BOM. Very organized, clear patterns and instructions, excellent communication. The community of sharing was positive and engaged. The extra patterns each month were a fun surprise and a very generous offer. I’m so impressed and so grateful for all the work both Dawn and Bonnie put into the BOM to make it such a great overall experience for everyone! AB
