Textile Craft, Art & Inspiration

Welcome to the official site of Moth and Rust DIY! My name is Leanne; I’m a an artist, sewist, knitter, pattern designer, gardener, and…well, much more. (Aren’t we all much more?!) This is where I share my patterns, tutorials, creative musings, etc. While I sometimes take breaks from this blog–some longer than others!–I always hope to come back and add to it!


Prairie Craft Almanac Podcast

Prairie Craft Almanac is a show exploring craft, nature and simple, creative living. In each episode, I talk about things that relate to those topics, give recommendations for different artists or books and other things, share valuable resources, and just chat about what’s going on. If you have a request, question, or topic you’d like me to talk about, let me know!
