Sewing and craft projects !
Hi everyone ! From chatting to some very clever and lovely ladies in the forum … It’s been suggested that we could use a ‘share your project ‘ thread.
Today I bought a sewing machine in attempts to get back into it! I am currently attempting to make a wrap around dress – with no zip required!! Haha
So please feel free to share your craft projects – sewing or not !

Fair comment Lisa. I`m noted for my patience and have all the patience in the world for most things so perhaps it`s just that I don`t have any interest in doing crafts now.
My time is spent doing family history research and writing little stories about my ancestors. I`ve also been organising thousands and thousands of photos I`ve accumulated over 45 years (since the day I met my husband). The loose ones I`ve been categorising into photo albums, and I`ve been designing photo books for the the digital ones. It`s a long tedious process but so satisfying.

Okay, since I’ve posted this on the ‘gram, I’ll post it here.
This is Chonktopus.

I did it as a kid, but picked it up again 2 years ago. I have a lot of “free time” on my hands (usually because I’m incapacitated), so doing something other than lying in bed and playing on my phone keeps me busy.
I’ve done needlepoint and knitting (that one, not so great), so crochet was the natural progression, and I picked it up very fast. Mostly because I watched video tutorials, those helped a lot.

Grab a kit and see how you go! I’ve done wax tarts, they’re pretty easy to make and you can use simple silicone baking/ice cube/chocolate moulds from Kmart/variety stores.

Takes a trying out a few different crafts before you find the right one for you!

The Trek blanket, my own design! Started this one early on. Not the best quality, but my own.

You can create your own patterns? That`s really impressive!

And some finer details. It’s original series themed (Kirk, Spock etc).

Compared to how I am now, I can tell you that I’ve improved a crapload! Most of the pattern design was trial and error, but I didn’t write anything down.

Yes, it`s much more even than your first shawl. Amazing work!
