Name: Natalie Zee-Drieu

Gig(s): Editor-in-Chief of CRAFTzine.com/Founder of Fashion Blog, Coquette

Excerpt from Craft Corps (Chapter 14):

“VH: The CRAFT website is always really supportive of the craft community, posting multiple links per day to designers’ work. In the future, what role do you see the site having in perpetuating that community further?

NZD: I would hope to see more of a diologue with our readers. I’d like our community to reach that next level where we post cool projects but also hear what readers want, and giveit to them. Tools like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter make that attainable.
VH: How do you think new media has affected crafting for everyday crafters?
NZD: I wish it had been available back then when I was learning all this stuff. Right now, it’s wonderful to go online, research how to do one little stitch, and get a video that teaches you something as you work on a project. Or, if you have a question, Ravelry is a great place to post it to a forum. Community is out there; when you’re home by yourself and don’t really know how to do something, you can quickly learn to do it on the Web.“

    The online crafting community really is great. With different websites and message boards I have been able to learn how to knit almost anything from cables to lace. I’m on my way to check out craftzine.com now!

  106. Bethany L.

    I started getting Craft: a few months before they went out of print so it would be nice to get some more.

  110. Sarah C.

    Craft Magazine is the best!!! I have a pair of converse just waiting to be revamped.. I missed all but one of those issues.. !!Fingers crossed!!!

    Liz Jones aka Betty Jo

  118. Mimi

    I have been doing crafts for a very, very long time… let’s see… over 30 years probably (Yikes!) I think that is how I managed through my childhood years and on!

  119. Becky & Sam

    I started my subscription with Craft #10. It would be great to have the whole series and take them to work – the Weavers Guild of Minnesota. I’m sure the series would be loved by everyone!

  120. Keli

    I also love how the craft world shares techniques on-line. What a blessing :-]

    While I do love the Craft website, I must admit that I really miss the hard copies. I would love this set because it would give me the only issues I don’t already have. — Rhonda Stovin

  143. TamaleyDiva

    Gosh, what did I miss while I was @ sea?? Oh, Craft Mag. What a great prize!!! I’m always ready to Craft…

  144. Louise

    Would love a copy of Craft! Did I make it in time for the comp?…I never could get my head around time-zones…

  148. Andrea Ayers-Esplen

    Because of craft I have been really inspired to finally take the plunge and turn my crafting into business. Craft has shown that both traditional and contemporary crafting is still fun, can be trendy and does have a market to those who do not have time space or patience to create for themselves.

    Craft and the new craftzine ROCK MY WORLD!

  150. Soy

    What a fantastic opportunity! Fingers crossed for me and my little school.
