Twin Made Year!

Since 2017 I have done a Year project, where I do a thing a day throughout the year.

2023 was the Year of the worm.

This worm is made using leftover yarn and stuffing and ended up being 20 metres and 23cm long - see what I did there!
Previous Projects:
2017 - Year of the stitch
2018 - Year of the patchwork
2019 - Year of the pom pom
2020/21 - Pandemic Dick
2022 - Year of the Vulva
2023 - Year of the Worm

2017 - Year of the stitch. I did a stitch a day and after about 212 if was a different stitch and then I had to repeat them.

2018 - Year of the patchwork. Using fabric I was working with I kept a square a day and created a huge patchwork piece, which I used to upholster the bench of the Craft Booth in my old studio.

2019 - Year of the pom pom. I made a pom pom a day and they are now all displayed in my studio at The Corp. You can spot them if you look up.

2020/21 - Pandemic Dick. 2020 started as a weave but as the pandemic hit I started making a dick a day using all my scraps to make and stuff them. It was fuelled by all those people beings dicks: the government, people out shopping and social media weirdos. I made 463 in total, one a day from lockdown until I was fully vaccinated.

2022 - Year of the vulva. Using my scraps I made a vulva a day from all my fabric scraps and hung together to create a vulva chandelier.

2023 - Year of the worm. Using up my scraps of wool and stuffing I crocheted a 2023cm long worm. That is just over 5cm a day.

2024 - I will use all my leftover fabric and scraps and create a puff ball quilt.

Men, you can sew too!

I have been really reluctant to write this blog as Twin Made workshops are suitable for all, but after meeting Steve, who came all the way from Birmingham to Cardiff to attend out Twin Made Dungaree Making Workshop, I though I’d better.
