Our newest designer for Crafts Unleashed!
Last winter when I was at CHA, I had the good fortune to meet Sarah Forhan and Sandy Sandler at the Darice booth, where they were demonstrating the “Bowdabra” products. I was immediately impressed with Sarah and her mad crafting skills, and then even more so when I check out her many crafty web adventures. CraftsUnleashed needed another designer, someone to focus on party/event crafting, and Sarah was just a perfect fit! So without further ado, here’s Sarah, in her own words:
Crafter, Writer, and Designer Sarah Forhan
From a young age I enjoyed designing, creating, and sewing with my grandmother. She taught me the importance of putting a bit of myself into every project, even if I was following a pattern. To this day, I cannot follow a pattern or project tutorial without changing it to make it my own. Isn’t that what creativity is all about?
I own the website SarahForhan.com , and the blog “Sewing and Crafting with Sarah”. I write seasonal home decor, baby, bridal, and hair bow making projects for the “Bowdabara” . I also write easy inexpensive children’s craft projects for Crafters4Kids , a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing arts and crafts to all children.
I live in New Hampshire with my husband and two school age children. I love doing arts and crafts with my children and volunteering in their school classrooms. My only request for my children and their classmates is that they make the projects their own.
I hope to inspire future generations to color outside of the lines because it just looks better that way!

I’m very excited that Sarah has joined Crafts Unleashed! I have been impressed with her crafting ideas ever since I first found her blog, Sewing and Crafting with Sarah. I am just amazed at the way she continues to come up with new, fun, and original ideas. I will definitely come back for the 3-day tutorial on making Decorated Blown Eggs!
