Crafts

[redeemed]

I decided to make a thread for crafts. I love doing crafts but am not at all creative!:012: Does anyone have anything that is a craft that they like to do??

[LittleLamb]

:aaaah: i love crafts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :aaaah:

[vpiper]

I'm a potter and some people see it as a craft. I like to make dinnerware. I'm going to try to make lamps soon. I see pottery as an art when you make it with your hands. but China painting or molded figure painting is a craft, I do not do either.

[marichino_freedom]

SEWING!!!!! i love making clothes!

[redeemed]

doing pottery sounds like a lot of fun!! I also love sewing. I find that i can't find modest clothes in the area that i live in so since i know how to sew it can be a huge help!

[Anne]

hey people just joined and love whats happening. i love looking at good crafty work but i dont know how to do it but it would be lovely learning it. God Bless you

[redeemed]

Hi Anne welcome!:) I would like to learn more crafts too! that's why i made up this thread because i am not very creative!

Hi Anne welcome to Girl Talk...feel free to chip in and share with us whatever you want. You can Private Message me if you have any questions or concerns. We are glad to have you with us, just jump in and start posting

[marichino_freedom]

i guess drawing/painting/photography and such could be either a "craft" or "art" depending on how you look at it and the techniques involved

[NeedGod]

i love crafts. i am currently designing clothes for a few people in church. when more people know about it, i guess i will do it too when i have time. i am so an arts person it hurts. ok, that was just and expression, lest you all start feeling sorry for me

[collegegirl]

I sew, I bead, I knit, I crochet, I do a bit of everything.

[NeedGod]

whew sis, you do everything!

[blessed]

I would love to learn to knit

[vpiper]

designing clothes, sounds hard. I convert pants to skirts. my hubby is big into paint ball and camo clothing, so I bought our baby girl a camo sweat suit and am going to convert the sweat pants into a skirt.
The other day my hubby asked me to make him some pants, I laughed, skirts are so much easier. and I have no clue where to start with pants, I would be embarassed for him to wear them in public.

[SisTrev]

i would love to learn to sew. But i dont have a sewing machine so it makes it hard to teach myself. Some day I hope to invest in one tho.

Love the post...hoping to see some really cool ideas.

[redeemed]

Right now I am sewing a pioneer style dress! Wow I thought I was pretty accomplished in sewing until I took this on

[marichino_freedom]

i just made a pink cargo skirt the other day, as well as a jean skirt with silver graffiti latin words all over it

[redeemed]

did you use a pattern to sew your cargo skirt?? i know some people who can just make up the pattern. I have to say they are pretty talented

[NeedGod]

aaawww, i never use patterns to make skirts, i usually just make up the patterns, if i am making for someone. if making for myself, i just do touch and go, i measure and cut right on the material. i must say sometimes its a disaster!

[redeemed]

I wish i could do that!!:012: I even have a hard time following the pattern and the directions!:012: :012:

[NeedGod]

really? if i had pattern i would be sooooo glad. i guess it solely depends on what you are good at. i am sure you are very good at something else. also necessity made me learn. patterns are real expensive here and so are clothes. so i had to learn.

[redeemed]

patterns are very expensive here also (depending on where you shop) but it is virtually impossible to find modest clothes that aren't to big for me, or are long enough for me. I had to learn how to sew and I really enjoy it, (as long as my teacher tells me what to do until i get better at sewing)

[NeedGod]

oh my goodness, i wish we all lived in the same area so we could teach each other things. i mostly make skirts coz tops are easy to find, descent ones i mean , since people here are still pretty conserved(its fading really first though!) and tops are just harder to make anyhow, takes more time and i am too lazy! :yes:
hehehe
i want to make a dress though, soon. i think i will make a gown for formal events where we can dress pretty like!
soon!
or maybe make a two piece with a fancy top. nothing too hard though!
i posted a picture of a skirt i made. i took the picture when the skirt was still creased, not yet ironed so dont mind the creases!

[redeemed]

it's almost impossible to find a decent shirt where i live!!!!!!!:012: I wish we all live in the same area also:) No one that i know that's in the Message lives within like 20 or 30 mile of me, and i have no bros or sis's. my where did that come from?? back to sewing. i think it would be fun to open a site on the net and get a bunch of sisters that like, and know how, to sew to run it. then at least the people that want to dress modest have another site to look at.

[NeedGod]

i think that is a good idea. what if we just bunch up everyone in this site to go and lok for their fellow sisters who know how to sew then we can all open a site that has all that and work on it.
its a splendid idea!

[redeemed]

Yeah! i really think that would be neat!:yay: Hmm we'll have to work on that and see what comes out of it

[NeedGod]

yeah, just remember to start a thread on it or something.
coz most sites on sewing are for a fee so its hard to learn new things and new ways of sewing without having to pay for it.
it would be nice if we came up with a free site for sewing advice and pattern types etc....all about sewing:)

[redeemed]

all about cooking??:confused:

[NeedGod]

i changed it, i meant all about sewing...am so confused...i think i am hungry or sth! lol:chef
must be the many parties that are going on at the moment! turns my thoughts to foood food food!

[redeemed]

i guess. i opened up a thread called threads on it.

[NeedGod]

i like that, a thread called threads! lol, ok, i have no idea why that tickles me, it just does! lol

[redeemed]

i asked my dad what i should call it and he said exactly what you did "a thread called threads" i liked because threads has to do with sewing and it's creative

[Babyruth]

I think it was very creative!

[NeedGod]

i think its the most creative ever, and for some reasong funny too!

[Babyruth]

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny too.

[redeemed]

the two main reasons i picked it was because it was creative and funny. i am glad you guys caught both of the reasons!:yay:

[NeedGod]

i am still working on it. i hope the rest of you havnt forgotten yet. :) i am really eager for it. at the moment, i have thought of a first project we could have. i want to talk to my pastor about it and some sisters. i hope the response will be good and eager. pray over it.
God Bless You

[redeemed]

don't worry i haven't forgotten!:) i have been busy getting ready to show my lamb so i have had no time!:012:

[NeedGod]

i talked to my dad, mom and some sisters n church and they thought it is a brilliant idea. they even brought more good ideas which i will post in the approprialte thread....uuuh, in threads..lol.
the response is really eager.

[redeemed]

wonderful! it would be awsome if this worked out!

[redeemed]

i was trying to post this on the same thing i just posted but i hit submit to soon! lol i would ask my dad for ideas but he just says "that's a good idea."
and my mom dosen't live with us (or believe the Message) so ya'll get the work of asking your parents for ideas.

[NeedGod]

all dads are the same. lol my dad said just that! lol

[redeemed]

rrr!! i wish they would help us!!!

[NeedGod]

i think thats their way of helping in something they have no clue about. they just agree and move on. lol

[redeemed]

no kidding lol!!
