It's lovely. I did sew some curtains once. They were for my truck, which was my home for a year when I drove around Oz.

Not very competent.

I do dollhouses and miniatures and have been trying to learn different fabrics and techniques to make clothing to fit different sized dolls. very challenging to make tiny things!

Every human has need to do something.
Those of us most lucky find work we would do for free.
Some of us must endure long periods to live among the insanity of imbeciles.

My mom was an excellent seamstress. How the term "tailor" doesn't apply is beyond me. But I remember her correcting me so I use that appellation at her behest. I can remember the swell of work she had when I ceded the small bedroom so that she could use it as her.... um. Studio?
And yes, the rattle of her Singer was as Sominex to me.

All kinds of boutique businesses are starting everywhere.

A young person we know makes kohlrabi sauerkraut. sells it in the local markets.

Lots of local classes in our area for knitting,....

'Tis an interesting time to do stuff.

I make crafts of all kinds to suit my friends and family, I upcycle, can make anything you can imagine out of wood and I make preserves as I live off the land. I volunteer at the local school teaching how to build cedar strip canoes to prevent it from becoming a dying art. When Christmas comes I feel so much love and appreciation from all the homemade gifts it fills my heart to do it again year after year.

Christmas stocking I made:

Claire. Made the amatuer mistake of gluing on sequins.

When Claire grabbed her stocking, sequins scattered. Last year, running out of matching sequins and stars, I sewed them all on. First, drilled out dried glue in the center of sequins with an X-Acto knife.

Rosie, Claire's cat. Half-Spanish, Claire was seven years old.

Matt, Claire's finace'. Matt never had a Christmas stocking before. He loved it.

Cocoa, Claire's lovable, goofy dog. Half husky and half golden retriever, Cocoa weighs 90 lbs. This looks like Cocoa at one year old.

"No way," I thought, thinking about embroidering round C's and O's. Found a leather boot lace in my sewing box. Cocoa's name took 10 minutes.

"It looks like Cocoa's rawhide chews," Claire's artist dad said.

Life is really made up of small triumphs.

I cross-stitch...

No, but most do not want to take the time or have the creativity. (I sew when needed but more creative with metal and woods.)

Just like how print media is dead. So sad!!

At this point whatever is 'one of a kind' is gaining popularity and demand. People are starved for that which is flawed but beautiful. Water torture perfect computers are numbing starved brains for subtleties of real, living differences and flaws. That is wherein the music of life lies.

My sex life says no.

Adorable! I used to make some of the kids clothes when they were infant /toddlers. And have made a few Halloween outfits, silly winter hats, and recovering projects. I need to whip up a bunch of curtains sometime this week.

I still do a lot of needlecraft projects...mostly Christmas themed ones...a lot of vintage things I find on eBay. And I crochet. ?

I never learned to sew. I just don’t have the patience for it. But, it would come in handy.

The wif and her bestest friend are all about dying techniques. Lots of direct painting of birds and such. Way fun.

Lovely dress.

I don't think sewing I'd a dying art, I know quilting is going on strong. I think one of the reasons people don't make too many clothes is the cost of material these days.

The craft industry was on an up swing for awhile. Do not know what it's like now. I do occasional leatherwork

I learned how to sew in high school, don't think they offer that class anymore.

Nice dress, cute kid. ☺

Custom items tailored to a buyer are on the increase, but they aren't hand crafted.

I sew, crochet, knit, embroider. I love hand made things and to make hand made things. I make my own soaps and lip balms as well. Look at Pintrest or Etsy. Handmade is not dying out.

I know many people who knit and crochet. I never learned to see but wish I had.

As long we got two hands... dying art or not, somebody won't let it die. Love the Craft!

My website would let you know that it is not a dying art...www.craftster.org. You should join the growing number of people who sew, knit, crochet, paint, etc.

I have been sewing since I was 14 and still do it...for myself, family, friends and charity.

Your dress is lovely....sewing lets you make it unique and fit well!

I think there is still real interest in handicrafts amongst GenX and Y. I have several friends with very high level corporate jobs who still find time to sew, knit, crochet etc.

I have attended salami making workshops where many of the students were Italian men my own age who neglected to learn when they were younger because salami making was seen to be this uncool thing that the old men did. Now they have children of their own they see it as part of their heritage they want to be able to pass on.

I went to a traditional craft fair last year that was so popular I had to park a mile away. There were craftspeople there demonstrating everything from sauerkraut making to blacksmithing, patchwork to woodwork. I saw loads of people sign on for courses.

I see a bit of a backlash against mass-produced rubbish. People still hunger for the authenticity of handmade products and are willing to learn to create them.
