It’s officially cool to craft! Top names in acting, music and celebrity are turning their perfectly manicured hands to creating their own style.

It started with Julia Roberts and Geri Halliwell and knitting. But that’s gone on and now all the cool girls are stitching and customising their own clothes and others.

Queen of style Victoria Beckham said earlier this year that she often customises her jeans to fit her better – she cuts off the waistbands so they sit lower on the hips, giving her that trendy look.

Katie Price (aka Jordan) may look like a glamour girl, but at home she says she’s stitching. In her column for OK magazine she was recently quoted on how she has turned her hand to stitching.

Her eldest son Harvey suffers from a variety of illnesses, one of which makes him very big for his age. To combat not being able to get clothes for her boy, Katie has taken to sewing up her own, using her very own sewing machine.

Gwen Stefani is famed for her own individual and very creative looks, now emulated by girls across the world. She has said several times that she spent her childhood making her own clothes as she wanted to express herself through what she wore.

Many magazines aimed at young women and girls include a customisation page, and the Coats Crafts UK website’s Inspiration and Crafts sections both offer projects and tips on how to customise through stitching, embroidery, applying motifs and other ways such as making your own corsages and accessories.

Projects are updated every four to six weeks, so keep checking the site for ideas on how to give yourself that celebrity stitching style.
