I love the dress but as for me there's always super glue.

I have a sewing machine and I try to make things with it, but I find patterns terribly hard to follow. I've not given up though. On the other end, I hand stitched an entire Queen-sized quilt. It took forever (read: years), but it's beautiful.

I love to sew. Personally, I believe that everyone should at least be able to make simple clothing repairs. Because of that, my daughter is an wonderful seamstress. My youngest son knows enough to run a sewing machine to repair his own clothes and hem his jeans.

My older sister on the other hand can't even sew on a button. I've offered to teach her but she refuses claiming she can't see well enough to thread a needle. I did mention to her that they make self threading needles; she still refuses to learn.

Eh, ...--- This should probably be in the flirting group but, I wish we lived closer to each other, real close.

I don't know about sewing, but I get a lot of 'Seriously, where did you get it?' And looks of disbelief when asked about my woven yarn hats. A woman asked me about my particular favorite one and a look of satisfaction crossed her face as she said 'Wait til I tell my husband!'

My great-grandmother made handmade quilts until she turned 90. Her quilts were beautiful.

She lived to 106.

Not for me. I have a shop full of tools and friends I can call upon for anything I can't do. I build my own guitars, do my own house repairs, make gifts, brew my own beer, make mead from my bee's honey, etc. I wish more people would do the same instead of relying on a single use and other items intended to be discarded and replaced with other throwaway goods.

I think there are still plenty of craftspeople around at this time. If you are fortunate enough to have crafts fairs in your area, whether regularly, or just occasionally, you can still see handmade goods in those venues. But it does seem that most of the artists are older. I would be crafting wood products if I had the equipment and place to do it. That was a dream I had for retirement, but it all changed.

I love making my own clothes, altering them to fit my body.

In the selfie I took today, I cut the dress so it skims my body.

Men say it looks sexy. I think it's a bit too tight. The jury is out.

I used to sew. When my eyes got too bad to continue, I gave my sewing machine to my nephew's wife, and she learned how to sew.
We worked together on a few projects, and she sews when she has time.

I used to knit, too. Arthritis doesn't allow for that anymore.

There are a lot of times that I really miss doing both.

I made almost all the kids halloween costumes and play clothes when they were small. I have knitted, embroidered, counted cross stich and I attempted tatting but never really developed the passion. My daughter on the other hand knits, crochets, and embroiders great mounds of beautiful and useful things. She has always enjoyed decorative crafts.

I regret not learning how to sew, crochet and knit. Also, I wish I knew how to can and preserve things in jars with wax on the top.

Gotta get your 3D printer.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

Nice dress, cute kid. ☺

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

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.

Lovely dress.

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

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