I also crochet and sew. The crocheting I do because I love it. I mostly make clothes, but sometimes I'll do amigurumi, blankets, baskets, or something that my daughter asks for (most recently a tote bag). I'm almost finished with a knee-length, warm cardigan and in a few days I'll start a lacy, summer-weight cardigan to wear over tank tops.
With sewing, I love the finished products more than the sewing itself. Playing with pretty fabrics is like playing with patterned papers, LOL! My kids tell me I have a "crippling bag addiction," and I mostly sew as one way to support that addiction. I make project bags for crocheting, small pouches to organize my purse, and other kinds of bags. Occasionally I sew something for the house or a gift like doll clothes for a niece.
