I got a sewing machine for Christmas and taught myself how to sew! I love it except I don't get a lot of time for it as I'm studying online and I have two kids
But I still sew! I'm not a really crafty person so it's nice to have this hobby

I'm a knitter

My mom bought a new machine and we just need to get it set up. .. Then I am going to make purses and shoulder bags. . already got the denim needles for it! Yay!0 -
I knit, crochet and do a bit of sewing. I also do chutney and jam making. I can't throw away anything with buttons, zips or ribbon on without stripping it off!0

I'm a teacher aide by trade, and the course I'm doing is a Diploma of Education Support (so a big qualification for my job which needs no qualification.. but I've been doing it for 10 years so I decided to give myself a challenge)
What are you studying?0 -
I sew, quilt, crochet, make cp soap and all things bath and body and a bit of embroidery. I have a few holiday gifts in the works, including some fun felt/embroidery for my boyfriend featuring Futurama, and some quilted/sewing projects for my nephews. And I think I'm going to make new valances for my mom, she's super hard to find gifts for!0

Im looking for some kind of craft to get into. I recently graduated from college, finally at the age of 30. I also cancelled cable tv. Sooo now I have lots of time on my hands.
I was just thinking today I need to find something to keep me occupied, and hopefully something I can turn into Christmas gifts.
I will be watching for ideas!0 -
Get yourself a sewing machine Prior to Christmas I'd never touched one, but now I'm pretty okay and making things and everyone appreciates it
It gives me a buzz when I'm wearing a skirt i've made and someone asks where I bought it 0 -

Oh my land! That sure brings back memories. When I was a kid my mom and grandma would always recylce old clothes by cutting off the buttons and zippers. They they would use the material to make patchwork quilts and braided rugs. I loved looking at the quilt on our bed with my sisters and point out the squares of fabric and recall who's dress or shirt or skirt it was from. :happy:0 -
i have a sewing machine but cant work it that good can anyone help????? also fee free to add me.... i think that when i get going on sewing stuff i be distracted from eating when bored...... im constantly chopping and changing my outfits but sew it al by hand!!!0
-
Beadwork primarily but in the winter months i turn to crochet and knit, some cross stitch and sewing.... some days wish i could never leave my couch and craft all the time!...0

I make all kinds of custom boutique style baby items (wipe cases, diaper cakes, sock cupcakes, etc). I consign at various boutiques and also online. 0

I almost forgot bows...lots and lots of bows!!0

I sew, silk-screen and am pretty handy with paint/makeup/latex.
My halloween routine stretches across weeks, as I plan, shop and make my costume and pumpkin stencils. I'm such a nerd.

Wow. . those pictures are absolutely amazing! The work, the detail. . I love it!0 -
They're available in the UK (kids sizes only) but they're easy (and cheaper) to make yourself.
Google "sheepbear eleshirt" and my friend has a 'how to' there, his directions, my photos. But be prepared to ruin one shirt to make another. 0 -

Yesterday a friend said she is going to hire me to teach her daughter to sew! I'm so excited, the daughter is really sweet and super smart. I only have nephews so it's always fun to be around girls (so much less violent!)0 -

Yay. .l That is so incredibly exciting. . Wish you lived closer than you could help me with my quilting abilitites. . I really want to learn how.0 -
Quilting is so fun! When I was younger and learning to sew (jr high/high school) I figured I would never want to quilt because I hated the patterns I saw...traditional triangle and baskets and stuff. But modern quilt patterns are so much fun! Is there a Modern Quilt Guild in your area? They've been springing up all over and are a great place to meet other quilters!0
