Join the 2020 Creative Challenge + Month 4 = Sewing / Knitting / Crochet

If this is the first time that you hear of the 2020 Creative Challenge, then you can find out more about it lower down on this post. We have already covered watercolor painting, hand-lettering as well as paper crafts this year and this month is all about getting creative sewing / knitting or crocheting.

April 2020 Creative Challenge – Sewing / Knitting / Crochet

I must admit that I am way more comfortable when it comes to knitting and sewing than crochet. (Thought that I should maybe try this 12 day beginner crochet course) I have tried my hands at crochet before but is is just something that I really struggle with. When I joined the creative challenge way back in 2015 I completed a small hand knitted scatter cushion! I did the knitting and my mom kindly sewed it together for me.

I would really like to try making some COVID protection DIY masks by See Kate Sew this month.

I also have a few Mollie Makes DIY kits at home still. I love these kits as you can really spend an hour or two and get it done. I made this teeny tiny Lion the night before from issue 109.

Some of my favorite resources:

• Crochet – One Dog Woof
• Knitting – From Britain with Love
• Sewing – See Kate Sew
• Mollie Makes

If you plan to hop on board this month, here are some projects you may want to try:

• How to make a fabric wall hanging as wall art or photo backdrop
• How to make a Scrunchie – the easy way
• How to make a rainbow cushion for a little one
• Sew a zippered pillow cover for rainbow cushions ⋒
• Sew your own cotton rope basket

Have you taken part in the challenge!? Please do share your images with us!!!
