EmmaMade Featuring Loops by Keri update and March happenings!


We've been having a lot of fun in our Emmamade featuring Loops by Keri classes. Some of our recent activities in the studio....

We've done a study of Monet and made beautiful mixed-media collage paintings.


We've had a lot of fun with our American Girls making backpacks and school materials, doll sized foods and so much more!


We tie dyed our own fabric and then made drawstring bags out of it using hand sewing AND the sewing machine (for many kids it was their FIRST TIME using a machine and they did awesome!(


We've made clay monsters and had open craft times to free create



AND we've had amazing fun nights when the parents went out and we stayed in an had a blast! Our last one featured minute to win it style games, including this fastest mummy before mommy comes home game!



Thank you for joining Emily Diamond and I, two mothers who are an art teacher and sewing/knitting/scrapbooking teacher respectively. We are on our journey to create a caring, creative environment, where kids share ideas, support each other and learn to trust their creative instinct. This allows the children to develop new talents, confidence and self esteem while exploring a broad spectrum of the arts. 

Coming up in March!

Sept 20 - 21 Come join Loops by Keri at the Maritime Festival in Greenport

SO excited to be participating in the Greenport Maritime Festival again this year! If you haven't been- you should GO! It is a day full of fun for the whole family!

I will be there with all of my hand knits- I have been VERY busy with new designs!! It's an amazing festival that is free with lots of ships and music and great food and best of all, Artisan vendors! Including me...but I digress.

Before I get into the knits, I have to show you what I've been working on and the story behind it. Last year at the Maritime Festival, they had a mermaid parade. I told my kids about it and my son looked thoughtful and then said to me "Mom! I've got it! You need to make mermaid costumes for the American Girl Doll! They'll sell like hotcakes!"

I loved his idea and his enthusiasm. My dear friend Sylvie and I worked together and made this! Isn't it awesome! Pink and Purple mermaid costumes are almost complete - stay tuned at the festival! Or if you can't make the festival, you can order them here...

Sylvie, along with another friend Cathy will be sharing a booth with me at the festival. They both made some beautiful sewn creations. Cathy has focused on baby bibs, mother-daughter aprons, children's smocks and more! Sylvie has been creating amazing bags, totes, napkins with matching placemats, pillows - many with nautical and fish themes, incredible things!! PLUS these darling necklaces, that double as headbands. My daughter loves them!




And I'll have my knits - so many new designs and colors.

Mittens and fingerless mitts, for those of you who love to text but have cold hands or work in a cold office! Hats, scarves, infinity loop cowls, headbands, neck warmers, ponchos, baby rompers, shawls....there is something for everyone!

If you can't join us at the festival, you can visit my Etsy site! I do custom orders if you have something specific in mind ;)

Here are just a few! Now I am off to go finish some more! One week to go! :)
