We head to Romsey to meet #FeaturedMember Tasha who loves all things crafty!
Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
Gosh, I joined many years ago now, 2010 I think! I don't really remember how I found it, but I was looking to get ideas from other creative people.
What projects are you currently working on?
Currently working on a hoody from the Tilly and the Buttons stretch book. We're moving houses soon so I'm also thinking of some home DIY projects for our new place.

What does your craft space look like?
I'm lucky to have a room dedicated to crafting, but it is a boxroom. Basically a desk, a mannequin, lots of storage and a dog bed for my dog Vinny.

Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
That would have to be my sewing machine.
What do you craft along to?
Generally I'll binge watch Netflix series that don't need much paying attention to. Or average films, where it won't matter if I miss something.
Tasha's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
Currently, that would be sewing. I spend most of my spare time on sewing related things. I even went to a Dressmakers ball last weekend. Usually I make clothing (for myself) or things like cushions. I'm trying to get good at self drafting patterns at the moment.
I also do a fair bit of home DIY.
In the past, I've done quite a bit of jewellery making and knitting.
Tasha's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I'd quite like to learn silk painting, It looks really pretty.
Who are your crafting heroes?
As I mentioned above, I think LoveMeagan is great. I also love Tilly and the Buttons and Lisa Comfort for their Sewing Books
Tasha M.'s Favorite Projects
1 The Houndstooth shoes. This has to be my number one as they are gorgeous, also LoveMeagan has got to be one of my favorite crafters and I've been following her blog for ages. She always has great ideas. 2. The t-shirt to tank top. This great for the summer and a great way to recycle an old t-shirt. It reminds me a lot of WobiSobi's creations. 3. DIY Turquoise clay necklace. I think this is just beautiful, I absolutely love the colour.Also clay is a craft I've struggled with ( I can never bake it quite right).
