Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

That's a great use of your cakes @outlander. Have you picked a pattern?

I've had a bit of time this afternoon to play with mine and am about 1/4 of the way through the border. I went with a single row kind of shell-ish edge (I wanted quick and easy - definitely ready to move on to the next thing now).

Congrats again on finishing that! Hope it's nice and snuggly 😊

Re: Craft Corner

Yeah ive got a pattern i think. Its pretty easy @CheerBear its a granny stripe pattern but im unsure of how to sew it together. Ill show you a pic when i come back home.

That border sounds quick and nice. Will be looking forward to seeing it fully finished. I know it wont take you long to finish! You stitch fast!

Re: Craft Corner

That looks incredible @outlander! Cushion covers sound interesting, have you knitted cushion covers before?

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBeari found this one on the internet and it looks pretty simple at least to have a go at before trying other patterns. But this in the way id like it, i just have to work out how to sew it together and find a pillow i can use to measure against
