For the Record

WHEN YOU HEAR the word “TikTok,” images of teens huddled around a cell phone and trying out the latest dance trend may come to mind. But Gen Z doesn’t account for all of the app’s users. People of all ages have gone gaga over TikTok, posting healthy recipes, life hacks, and makeup tutorials for their hundreds or thousands of followers.

Design enthusiasts can also find plenty of inspo on TikTok, where pros dole out advice and adventures in home renovation. Through 15-60–second video recordings, TikTok users share home improvement ideas, from how to decorate on a budget to techniques for tweaking antique furniture. Hashtags such as #homeimprovement, #hgtv, and #interiordesign help viewers refine their searches.

Cut from the Same Cloth

“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
