{One Never Discusses the Size of One’s Fabric Stash.}

Chris McLaughlin

Chris McLaughlin

Making stuff just hits different, doesn’t it? It’s pure joy for the heart and balm for the soul. Creativity’s our love language around here — stitching, crafting, and soaking up a little farm life along the way.

At Hold My Coffee, we’re top-tier enablers: fueled by caffeine, fabric, and a healthy disregard for perfection.

Perfect projects? Overrated. Happiness in the making? Always.

The Joy is in the Making.
