Nice to meet you.
Welcome to Craftcore, a cozy craft blog written by me, Pange.
I’ve been sharing my favourite craft tips and tricks on Craftcore since 2012. I focus mostly on quilting, but I also love sewing in general, home decor and organization, and trying new things whenever I can.
I collect sewing machines, mostly vintage Singer sewing machines. I have a habit of rescuing supposedly non-working machines from the thrift shops, bringing them home, and bringing them back to life. Here are their stories, along with threading tutorials and user guides.
