What does your craft space look like?
Crampt! I use a corner of my bedroom, it has a desk with tools and crafting things on it, a sewing machine, draws full of stuff. I have to push the sewing machine back to craft and pull it forward to do some sewing, but it works and I have everything I need.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Fabric and sewing machine.
What do you craft along to?
Sometimes music, if it's hand sewing or a craft I can do on the sofa I will have the TV in the background. If it's sunny you might find me crafting in the garden.
Hannah's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
Dress making seems to be the thing I am most drawn to at the moment, but make a lot of jewellery too. I love all sorts of crafts though, I am looking in to putting photographs on to wood at the moment, have recently tried basket weaving and want to try a bit of pottery, have acquired some air dried clay recently.

If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I would love to make shoes, I always wear flat shoes and the choice is no where near as good as heels, so I could create something both beautiful and comfy!!
Who are your crafting heroes?
I follow loads of people online, read their blogs and pin all the great ideas I want to try. I love that sewing has become bigger with people like Tilly and the buttons from the sewing bee. I love A clothes horse and her blog and her style.
Surf jewels's Favorite Projects
I have got a leather journal that I use for all my notes and project ideas and have wanted to make one for ages, so may well use the first tutorial when my note book gets near to full. The second is a cool shoe revamp, wouldn't want comic book shoes, but I have plenty of ideas to customise my own shoes, the possibilities are endless and I just bought some mod Podge. Do they last is my only question?! The last is a project I saw a long while back, a guitar bag, just think it looks really good. So many projects, so little time...
