14. I'm retired and seems like I have less time for crafts now.

I done just about every craft you can image, Sewing is my core craft, although I have done knitting, crocheting, teddy bear making, collages, beading and many other things.

Right now, I am really into working with recycled fabrics and have made lots of cute things. One is a skirt made of flannel shirts, I have made about 6 of these. Another is a vest made of felted sweaters. Also made cute baby caps using felted cashmere sweaters.
Right now I am making a quilt, using new and old fabrics.

But we stay so busy since we retired that I have a hard time setting aside some work hours for my crafting projects. I am getting ready to go upstairs and sew some more blocks for my quilt.
