45. My niece is into remaking thrift shop clothes

Into styles she can use every day. Reuse seems to be very popular these days.

I also know young people who are into cosplay and make their own costumes. On Reddit, the Embroidery, Needlepoint, Crochet, Knitting, Sewing, and Quilting sub-reddits are all very active with young people doing some very innovative work.

The thing is, I've been a member of the Embroiderer's Guild of America and they are not attracting new young members - they concentrate on preserving the older styles of embroidery, while the young people getting into it are beginning with their own styles and only later looking into traditional ways of doing the arts. I think the same is happening for many of the "home arts" and it's probably very good for those arts in the long run.
