Makeshift Crafts

GLIZZY WEEK 2026
We are dedicating a full week to hot dogs, crafting, and absolute chaos in the best way possible. 🌭 From cross stitch and embroidery to crochet, punch needle, bargello, and beaded bag charms, every workshop this week is inspired by everyone’s favorite glizzy. ☀️ Expect themed snacks, Costco hot dogs, exclusive merch, giveaways, and the most unserious crafting energy imaginable. 🪡 Whether you’re here to stitch a tiny hot dog dad hat, make a mug rug shaped like a weiner, or simply embrace your inner hot dog enthusiast, come craft with us and get that dog in you.

SUMMER CROCHET-A-LONG
Our Crochet-A-Longs are guided community crafting experiences designed to help you finally finish bigger projects with support, accountability, and a cozy group of fellow makers along the way. 🧶 This summer, we’ll be creating a made-to-measure crochet top using Yarnalia Magic cotton yarn, with workshops, customization help, troubleshooting support, and an exclusive Makeshift-designed pattern included with registration. ☀️ If you’ve been wanting to finally make a wearable, or you love making wearables and need a new design, this is your sign. 💖

Our Core Values

Create in Community

We believe crafting is better when shared. By fostering a warm, home-like environment, we encourage genuine friendships, support networks, and a sense of belonging that helps every visitor feel at home.

Process over Perfection

We embrace crafting as a journey of exploration rather than a quest for flawlessness. In our space, mistakes are celebrated as stepping stones to new skills and creativity. Whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned maker, we encourage you to dive in, learn from every step, and enjoy the process without the pressure to be perfect.

Sanctuary for Self-Care

We strive to create a safe, nurturing environment that champions positive mental health. Our workshops and communal spaces are designed to reduce stress, uplift spirits, and offer a sense of solace and connection through the act of making.
