Anyone else into sewing?
Or crafting stuff in general?

I just got a sewing machine for Christmas, and even though I've never sewn before I've been getting really into it. I've made a handbag, a messenger bag, a hat, some hair things, and I'm working on a shirt and a skirt.
I also have been modifying clothes I already have, like cutting up shirts and then making a patchwork shirt, and putting random zippers on t-shirts. Looks rad.


I go to this mad website (http://www.craftster.org) a lot to see what other people have been doing, and to get inspiration.
Also I find op shops are a great place to look for crazy vintage patterns.

Well, sewing... thought about it recently but I really doubt that I'll ever have the time to get into it

And crafting stuff in general Of course XD I tend to make things for people's birthday.. usually fancy cards.. Made some accessories with the tiny crystal beads before too And they are a lot of fun to work with It's a pity that nobody is actually into these sort of things O______o..

i make all my birthday cards
and sometimes i make people wooden signs with their name on it..painted etc..to hang on their door or in their room
i made a few small bags
i used to make barbie clothes when i was a younger
that was soo fun
ive made belts and jewellery and stuff
just out of boredom
dont even use half the stuff i make
oh i made a pencil case..and a small bag

Me and some friends make our own cards. We stamp them and emboss the cards ... they turn out better than all those hallmark cards - it also kind of gives a personal touch which commercialised cards can't give.

yeah like putting all your thought and effort into it
plus its fun painting them and cutting it out and writing a gay poem ..etc

yeah i like that sort of stuff. I used to sew barbie clothes and bags and stuff and i made these little booties for my baby cousin. They were so cute! I want to save up to get a sewing machine. When I get a job that is!
