Peg and Awl is a small business celebrating 15 years in 2025! We look forward to sharing our work, inspiration, and new tutorials.

During the pandemic, we shared our first Bookbinding Tutorials on You Tube. We look forward to expanding our process adventure here on Substack!

We've live and work at The Five Acre Wood in Chester County, Pennsylvania. There is a lot of land to tend, as it was shrouded in unwanted invasives that offer a safe haven to an abundance of deer ticks. I, Margaux, have come to refer to myself as The Ungardener. Through the process of ungardening, I am making space for natives and learning so much about all of the plants every day.

We will share the things we make here!

Our Historic Restoration and Renovation Projects.

We are always scouring flea markets for vintage textiles, tools, and objects that inspire new collections. These limited collections go fast – join our newsletter to receive launch announcements! We will share our finds and collections here!

We've partaken in many magical collaborations over the years and will share past and future here!
