This is exactly what I did, Fran, I attached the ruffle to the hip area of an under skirt (full slip)so that there is no bulk on the waistline. I finished the bottom edge of the crinoline with bias tape same color as the skirt. I decided for the crinoline to show 2 inches below the skirt hemline. I like the result so far. I was going to do it in tiers but because of lack of time and extensive labor that it will take for a tiered peticoat I decided to do one layer only.

I love Fran's story about wearing 15 petticoats to parties!
I do
knitting
embroidery: cross stitch, hardanger, the usual decorative embroidery, blackwork, pulled thread, et al. (tried and succeeded with a number of techniques, but have not carried on)
quilting (smaller projects)
sewing: mega part of my life, as custom dressmaker.
crochet
tatting
beading / jewelry
macrame: see GFTC's answer!
sketching, watercolors
Along with some of them, I have designed an original, or developed from a pattern, and I figure most of us have, and I think it's part of crafting...
I loved going back in memory about all this: I think I may have missed some stuff that I tried via classes. I'm limited now because of arthritis, but am poised but still dancing around the edges of spinning and ribbon embroidery.
I still have my "Learn How Book"!

I just saw this topic and enjoyed reading other crafts everyone does. My list is:
Knitting - First learned how to knit in girl scouts in grade school; made a hat and a blanket. I still have the blanket.
Crochet - Picked it up on my own; loved the portability and made quite a few items. I have lost interest in it of late though as I like the fabric that knitting creates better than crochet.
Embroidery
Cross Stitch
Needlepoint
A little bit of sewing
I too tend to get bored with projects and like to switch around so I usually have several different projects going at one time. |

Spinning, knitting, weaving, crochet if required (the latter three with handwoven yarn, obviously), sewing. And I do remember macrame ...
Do plastering, tile-laying, painting (walls, not pictures) count as crafts?

I do some jewelry making/beading and I write fiction.

Wow! I loved reading everyone's lists of crafts. It made me remember a few that I had forgotten about. I'm going to divide my list into things I still do and things I used to do but might like to do again. :)
Current crafts:
Knitting (not very good at this yet but do enjoy it)
Crocheting
Spinning (currently with a spindle and not very good but hoping to get a wheel very soon)
Scrapbooking
Crafts I have done in the past:
Embroidery
Sewing
Quilting (my mom keeps trying to get me back into this)
Beading
Jewelry making
Cross stitch |

I have many interests like most of you!
Knitting is my main thing, followed closely by bookbinding.
Also, watercolor
drawing
micro macrame
quilting
metallurgy (I trained as a jeweler)
woodworking/furniture refinishing
net tying and repair
I'm going to make a backstrap loom, one of those popsicle stick types, to see if I have any talent at weaving. (haven't tried since grade 5, LOL!)
Of all the crafts, I go back to knitting, and I've figured out that it's largely about the process. When I knit socks or a scarf, I know I will wear them, but my sweaters have been too big so far! I'll keep trying. |

After reading about everyone's input, I know I'm in good company and it's ok to multicraft:)
Happy crafting everyone! |

Let see...
Spinning
Knitting
Weaving (2 multi-harness floor looms, several smaller looms)
Tatting
Bobbin lace
Sewing
Quilting
Embroidery and needlepoint
Crochet
Gourmet cooking
beading and other jewelry-making
While I don't do all of these every single day, I usually manage to fit in at least a couple of them. And I get through the entire list fairly often; mostly because I like to combine techniques on the same pieces.
