Check-In Post April 17th 2022

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.
Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I haven't fully completed things, but I've made some progress with making scrunchies! I don't usually finish one scrunchie then start on another. Instead, I'll sew them to the point of needing elastic put in and then I'm on to the next one. Rinse and repeat. It may seem odd how I do this, but it works somehow? Lol. It does help, though, to put the elastic in, reinforce it with glue, let the glue dry and then finish the scrunchie.

Is anyone else similar with their crafting?

I like to do things in step too. Get everything to a certain spot, do the next then to the next point, then do the next bit. I think it's easier to, say, do all the gluing at once step, for example.

I think that works really well with smaller items like scrunched. Much less fiddly.

I was the same when I was making knitted mice. Knit some, then sew them up and stuff them, then attach all their ears, then do all their tails, then stitch all the faces. Making things in batches can work really well, especially with the smaller items.

Congratulations on your scrunchie progress!
