 | Jessica is a Philly fiber Artist. I started crocheting as a hobby in October 2009. I taught myself to crochet by researching online. From there I started my mini projects, making hats, scarves, baby booties, and small blankets. Then I started to make hat sets for family and friends and the next thing I know, I have a little business. My business is called “Jess Handmade Designs”.My inspiration comes from God, My Husband and our Son (R.I.P.) our Family and friends and my wonderful customers. It was because of them I turned my hobby into a business. I’m also a part of a group called “Fresh Off tha Hook”, they inspire me to create and try new things when it comes to crocheting projects. They are like Family to me. |

I use lots of different yarn, beads, feathers and anything I can mix in my work to give a beautiful unique look. |
 | MelaDora Crochet: My idea when I started this was to make it easy for people who knew how to crochet the basics but didn’t know how to read patterns very well or at all and wanted to learn and make things they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.By showing them step-by-step in picture tutorials on my site and adding a video tutorial on every page from my YouTube page I’m helping them achieve something they otherwise wouldn’t have. |
 | Melissa of Mel’s Daisy Patch Designs: I design and sell crochet patterns. I have a wide range of things that I design. There is everything from stuffed animals to baby blankets to pot holders.
