Crafting beyond boundaries

Hands On Katie

Welcome to my world! I love to fuse modern technology into traditional crafts. Here I can share all my mad projects involving woodwork, electronics, 3D printing, sewing and much more. It’s a crazy blend of artistry and innovation, but I’m on a mission to bring warmth and wonder into our homes, no matter what you’re doing.
