About Jaime Costiglio

My name is Jaime Costiglio and I write the blog That's My Letter. What started off as a kitchen makeover documentation blog 3.5 years ago has warped into a full on project based blog focused on building, painting and sewing. All the project posts are DIY and include tutorials with photos. I typically stick to wood, paint and fabric as my mediums to build furniture and crafts, paint furniture, make signs, and use fabric to sew home decor, accessories and gifts. I reuse and repurpose consistently and always, always use what I have first before buying new.
