Why not start a new hobby in 2012 by taking up sewing, vintage style. Not only could you take it up but you could also get your children to take it up as some of the fabulous accessories are creative for children to make as well as grown ups.

A pretty first sewing kit ‘I love Retro’, .www.iloveretro.co.uk is a good start or for Cath Kidson fans ‘Scissors’, http://www.cathkidson.co.uk

Tape Measure http://www.johnlewis.com or a pin cushion that looks like a cupcake by Lauren Denney http://www.laurendenney.com

An electric sewing machine can be bought from BHS for only £50 http://www.bhs.co.uk

Sewing baskets and kits for ‘The Contemporary Home’ from http://www.tchinet.com

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts.

  2. I know, my new year resolution is definitely going to be to make more hand made things. The picture of the washing up bottle has a hand made pinny on it given to me for Christmas which gave me the idea for the post. Merry Christmas f, hope you’ve had a good one 🙂 x

  4. I am revisiting old crafts just now. i made a cath kidston tea cosy for a friend for Christmas, she is very happy with it. Another project on the go is crocheted curtains for my bare porch windows, that will make the place more homely. Best thing is that I have all the gear and so could get started straight away.
