Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Anything that uses a needle for construction can be called needlework. The definition may expand to include related textile crafts such as a crochet hook or tatting shuttles.

Similar abilities often transfer well between different varieties of needlework, such as fine motor skill and a knowledge of textile fibers. Some of the same tools may be used in several different varieties of needlework. For instance, a needle threader is useful in nearly all needlecrafts.

Where to find a hobby shop for needlework?
Q. I used to do embroidery and now I'm interested in taking it up again and just making random things to decorate my apartment with. Where can I find a hobby shop to buy supplies and get ideas from? I live in Orange County, CA, and doing a Google search hasn't really helped. Walmart and Target doing carry these supplies either. Help :)

A. I only have one, but it's a start: You can also contact the companies directly and they will tell you if they sell directly or through a distributor, that will help get some other vendors. (Bucilla, Permin, Janlynn, Lanarte, etc.) Good luck! :)

How do you start your own clothes label?

A. You really should go for a degree, and learn to sew. You have to rise through the ranks by working for other companies before starting your own. If you really want to try this without a degree, buy a good, fancy sewing machine with all the features, and try taking sewing classes at a local community center or something. Learn about the types of fabrics, threads, etc. Once you can actually make the clothes you design, create a few pieces as a portfolio. Then, you have to borrow money, so you can employ people to help you out. Rent a small shop to start with, but somewhere a lot of people will pass by it, so you get noticed. At this point, you can design the clothes, pick out the fabrics and supplies, draw the patterns, and have your… [cont.]
