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 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!'

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

She lived to 106.

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.

Gotta get your 3D printer.

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 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.
