The Origin Story

What started as a hobby slowly transformed into a business.

In 2017, ICouldMakeThatBut started as a cross stitching business in between teaching middle school students math. When life got too crazy, the business took a hiatus in 2020.

Now, in 2025, ICouldMakeThatBut is back better than ever and the craft has changed. I now mostly focus on crocheted items including plushies, bags, blankets, accessories, and more!
