i'm trying to upcycle some old clothes that I haven't worn for ages. My current project is to convert a floor length cotton tie-dyed dress into a pair of cool summer harem trousers.

That is so crafty AND great for the earth! I want to start on a macrame table runner for the holidays. I already have a beautiful burgundy cord and a design idea, I just need to get started.

I'm currently working on a crochet blanket, but I have to admit I've been a bit lazy about finishing it. The pattern is lovely, and the colors are soothing, but it's a long-term project that I pick up whenever I have some free time. Hopefully, I'll complete it soon!

Beings this forum now includes crafts, what crafty things are you working on?


Like many people recently, I've been busy sewing masks for my family.

I've also dabbled in countless other crafts over time, and love hearing what everyone is working on!

Last year I bought wooden plaques/planks and transferred pictures onto them and gave them as Christmas presents. Everyone loved it. Still trying to figure out what I am going to do this year.

I’ve recently started making my own rugs for family and friends! This idea was inspired because I had just moved to my first apartment and wanted a large rug, however, I did not like the price for a big rug. Naturally a creative person, I decided to make my own! After a year of scouring the internet about rug tufting, I took the leap to start about a month ago. Acquiring all of the equipment has been a little expensive, but finally having a creative outlet has been worth it! So far, I’ve made four rugs (a bass for my brother who loves fishing, a portrait of a former instructor’s newborn granddaughter and his business logo, and currently working on a logo for a former coworker), and have several orders in queue to start on!

Neat!

I like seeing inverse tie-dyes where they're colored cloth and treated with a mild bleaching agent of some sort.

I'm currently experimenting with making geometric wall art from recycled materials! It's definitely a challenge, but I love the eco-friendly aspect and the end result is always unique.

I use Big Twist 100% acrylic yarn and the cloth that I tuft on is monk’s cloth, with a non-slip backing.

I see there aren't any recent comments, but I'll go ahead to see if any crafters are reading. I love quilting, knitting, crochet, and sewing. I recently joined a quilt club and love the support and enthusiasm of the other quilters. it's amazing how my activity in the craft has increased since making friends with other people with the same interests. The positive reinforcement is especially helpful.

I've been crocheting dolls. It keeps my hands busy, so I am not overthinking everything. My favorite book is Animal Friends of Pica Pau by Yan Schenkel.

I taught myself crochet during COVID and have been working on crocheted Christmas gifts and projects this month.

My projects this month have included Christmas gift ornaments, a men's winter fedora, a cat toy, a strawberry bonnet cat hat, and a couple of small stuffed animals.

I'm looking forward to starting a temperature blanket for my daughter for 2024, once the holidays are over.
