Mandy Pellegrin
Hello, there. My name is Mandy Pellegrin, and I'm the blogger behind Fabric Paper Glue.
By day, I am a government bureaucrat (and proud of it!) and recovering Congressional staffer in Washington, DC. At night and on the weekends, I use my blog to share tutorials for handsome crafts, recipes for delightful beverages, and other fun stuff to inspire creative, fashionable sensibilities.
I always love to make something different, so you'll find that my so-called handsome crafts run the gamut from projects to show off your personal style to DIYs to make your home unique to crafts for entertaining. I love every kind of medium and method, but my first love is sewing. With sewing, I have nearly complete creative control over form and function to create something completely unique and utterly me. The only things holding me back are time -- which is certainly limited -- and my skill set -- which is admittedly beginner-level.
When I'm not working, crafting, cocktail-mixing, or blogging, you'll find me trying new restaurants, enjoying fun music, travelling to awesome new places, and just generally spending time with my husband, Michael, and our cat, Pete.
I hope you enjoy some of my projects!
