Crafty Campers

[Romily]

I am making a ripple blanket and some bunting for our tent and I wondered if there were any other crafty campers out there and what they were making for their camping trips tis year?

How exciting! I am just starting out on this crafty lark. Being a bit of a glamper, I was buying lots of stuff but last year I decorated a table for round our bell tent pole and am now sold on the idea of making things.

I love the idea of a blanket, but as I can now use a sewing machine (as of last Sunday) bunting is definitely on the cards and possibly a hanging storage thing with pockets for inside the tent. Maybe a tablecloth too, possibly some nice cushions to double as pillows (so cotton removable covers), and maybe drawstring bags for storage.

I bought a book with ideas for camping from Amazon, although a lot of those were for crochet which is a total mystery to me at the moment.

Can't wait to get started...

I am going to fashion a carpet type thing with wipeable sides for boot storage purposes....I think/hope

Bunting is always a must!! Will be watching this with interest to see what ideas I can steal find! This will be our first year camping with baby, so maternity leave means I could be a bit more adventurous with the sewing machine

I'm sorry!! Bloody phone

Owl is making bunting then......

I'm making a crochet blanket, a cushion cover as I want an inflatable pillow as a cushion on my camping chair and a wrap up canvas roll / bag for the tent pegs. admittedly this isn't very exciting

MummyPig, what was your crochet camping book? I'm intrigued.

I'd also like to know about the crochet camping book, would love a new crochet project.

This is the book I have: thewww.amazon.co.uk/Handmade-Glamping-Charlotte-Liddle-Hopping/dp/1908862742/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399554391&sr=1-11&keywords=camping+and+craft

To be fair it is not just crochet by any means - there are lots of different projects. It was just that I fancied making a couple of the crochet ones but have been hampered by not knowing one end of a crochet hook from another. It is also not tent-based as such, a lot of the projects are more caravanny IIRC, but a lot are pretty transferable.

I am making an Elmer blanket now as the ripple went a bit wrong
