with fall in the air, it's time to experiment with fun, cozy fall designs 👀 i tried using HDC to create a tapestry from left to right instead of the usual bottom-to-top method. i find it creates kind of a nice ribbing effect that works well for a sweater! #crochet #tapestrycrochet

swatched up the stripes for my striped sweater to see how the colors look next to each other. I'll be knitting the sweater (my second knit sweater ever), but I crocheted the swatch to make it faster 😂 I think we have a winning color combo!

there's just SOOOO much to be proud of!!! 🥹 this doesn't even include the pieces I've sold or gifted, the wips that got discarded, or the items I finished but never loved. if you make your own clothes, take a step back once in a while to appreciate everything you've made so far 🥰 #crochet

made this bunny and bear for a friend's wedding ❤️ these were displayed at the entrance to their reception and they are so cuteeee the bride wanted the bunny to be smaller than the bear, so I just used a smaller hook but used the same pattern as the bear! #crochet #amigurumi #handmade

EEEEEE I love how this turned out!!! definitely beats using sticky notes 🫣 one thing I forgot to mention was I used some cardstock to give structure to the "water" so that it sits flat. #amigurumi #crochet #cute #diy #crafts

starting a new mesh lace cardigan!! I've been needing something like this forever for wearing over dresses and tank tops during cooler summer evenings. im using a pattern by crochetbyskye and it's my first time seeing a mesh stitch like this! it's so simple yet unique

another tank top! i used lion brand 24/7 cotton for this, which I now know is better for bags and coasters 😅 but this used to be my go-to yarn for clothes. now, I prefer a cotton-acrylic blend! my current faces are Bernat Softee Cotton (dk weight) or Premier Cotton Fair (sport weight) #crochet

I want to sew a top like this 🥺 I don't feel I have enough basic understanding to design it myself, but I can't find any patterns for exactly what I want. Does anyone have any suggestions for an overwhelmed beginner like me? 🥺 #sewinghelp #beginnersewing #sewing

charhew makes @charhewmakes.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
love this mesh sweater ❤️ I rarely wear it to be honest, I think it's because the acrylic yarn is a bit too warm for the summer and the mesh holes are too cold for the winter 😆 it's also hard to layer under a coat during the winter because of how big the sleeves are. #crochet #diy #handmade #yarn

i found myself never wearing this skirt, so I finally decided to try to make a change to it in hopes that it will make me want to wear it more. adding a tiny slit to a skirt was SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT 😂 🙈 but after a few attempts, it turned out okay! #beginnersewist #sewing #diy

In this "after" photo, you can kind of see where the seam is where I joined the corrected piece with the original piece. this is the best I could do, and despite how painstakingly slow it was, it was still faster than redoing the entire panel. I'm hoping it will not be visible when it is worn 🥺 🥺 🥺
a crochet vest after being blocked. there is a mistake on the right side of the panel

charhew makes @charhewmakes.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
also here is a picture of how it looked before blocking. this was before i realized the mistake 😭

so after fastening off my back panel, 65 rows later, I realized I made a HUGE mistake.... in row 5 😭

huge slumber party energy!! so happy with how this pajama set turned out. the shorts were a pattern test for shopdaisyanddime and I KNEW I needed to make a matching tank top with it. tank top was completely free handed and I managed to get the sizing perfect on my first try!!! #crochet
