    Making Crafts is a lot of fun and very rewarding.  I made almost every kind of craft you can think of over the last 30 years and sold many of them through out the U.S., Europe, South America, and Australia. Some of them are in my home and my family's homes, yet others are across the world.

 

Their really isn't any rules you have to follow if you are designing your own crafts. If you are going by a pattern just follow the directions the best you can.  If you are just starting out, I would suggest you try a simple 12" square pillow.  Once you have master that, move upward from there.

Remember if you are designing and drawing your own crafts patterns, then you need to add at least 1/2" to your drawing for a seam allowance. If you don't your craft will be a lot smaller that what you drew.

The Mermaid doll on the left was designed on paper first, then traced onto different color fabrics, and then sewn together.  Lots of colorful decorations, hair, and beads were added.
