Handicraftsmen from Instagram whose works motivate creativity

I can’t call myself a craftswoman, although I can sew and knit and love everything related to creativity. Sometimes, when I come across a piece of fabric, yarn or a quality item that has gone out of fashion in the closet, I think: leave it, let it sit for a while longer? Or maybe we can make something out of this, but what and how? As always, the Internet comes to the rescue - there you can get original ideas, and if you’re lucky, ways to implement them.

TOP 5 Instagram accounts where there is something to learn

When real masterpieces of handicraft catch your eye, your hands naturally reach for knitting needles and yarn or a sewing machine. Having researched more than a hundred pages of those who create beauty with their own hands, I am sharing the most inspiring finds.

Of course, it is unrealistic to explore the pages of all craftswomen on social networks in a short time - there are tens, and maybe hundreds of thousands of them. There are probably many others out there with original creations worthy of attention. I just haven’t gotten to them yet, but over time I will definitely get there. One thing I know for sure: now there will be fewer things in my closet that are “dead weight”. But new ones will appear, made by my own hands on the wave of inspiration received thanks to you, dear needlewomen from Instagram!
