Melbourne can't get enough of craft, craft and more craft this winter. And so, on a cold winter's night, there's no better place to turn than Mixtapezine - Melbourne's very own craft magazine. Mixtapezine began as a photocopied issue in early 2007, from Justine and Simon's Melbourne home. Today it's shipped all around the world and fans can also download a PDF from their website. The best bit - it's all written from the heart by crafters and artists. Love it.

Nichola started Wardrobe Refashion after deciding to quit buying new manufactured clothing - to do her part for the planet, save money and improve her sewing skills. Now each year, Melbournites join her to make the pledge to stop purchasing new manufactured clothing for 2, 4, 6 months or even - life. Together they pledge to refashion, renovate, and recycle pre-loved items with their own hands. And the result is a lot of savvy green creations posted on Nichola's loveable blog. Nice.

LoveBento subscribers love this little store in Brunswick East called Five Boroughs. In this loveable space, Five Boroughs feature designer handmade artworks, textiles, jewellery and more - specialising in Australian design, mixed with a sprinkling of overseas and vintage delights. LoveBento-ites especially love their artisan wool accessories, made right here in Melbourne, and the stunning winter collection from Otto and Spike. Love.
