The denim jacket with frayed cuffs, the clutch that’s seen a hundred parties - these things are more than just stuff. They’ve got stories, yaad hai? (you remember?) My service is for anyone who wants to upcycle and redesign those pieces with crochet, making them bilkul naya (totally new) but still full of memories. ### What I Actually Do - Take your old piece (like jackets, clutches, cushion covers... even odd things like rice bags) and transform it with crochet patchwork redesign. - Not interested in just following trends or making things for show - I try to keep it sustainable and personal. - Some of my favourite glow-ups: Frida-inspired denim jacket, a tired clutch turned tulip-stitched beauty, and a rice bag-turned-charm pouch. Each has its own kahani (story). ### Here’s How It Works - You send me pics of your item, we do some gup shup (casual chat) about colours and your ideas. - Once you send it over, I get to work, one stitch at a time. Sometimes it takes longer - this is slow, hand-done work. - Your piece comes back to you, ready for its next chapter. ### Why I Do It For me, it’s all about sustainable crochet makeover and upcycled fashion accessories. I believe in slow, meaningful art - not fast fashion. If you have a pyaara (dear) old item you can’t let go of, let’s give it a new twist together. ## Highlights Browse through Crochet Kala's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/crochet.kala/crochet-upcycling-redesign/featured) - ![This old denim jacket was just sitting in my closet, but I couldn't let it go.

Started with handmade Rakhis for my bros, now I’m all about turning old stuff—like that ancient denim jacket—into something wild and pretty. I crochet dreams, not just things. Once made a placenta (yep, you read that right) for a childbirth educator. If you’ve got a weird idea, bring it! I’m always up for a challenge. Life’s about trying, failing, laughing. Yarn’s my happy place. ### My work - **Handmade Crochet Goodies & Workshops**: I make quirky crochet gifts, amigurumi character dolls, keychains, and teach beginner crochet workshops for all ages. - **Custom Orders & Personal Touch**: Every piece is stitched by me, personalized just for you. Style bhi, comfort bhi (style and comfort both). - **Upcycling & Sustainable Crochet Art**: Old rice bags, clutches—give me anything, I’ll upcycle it into a sustainable crochet pouch or decor. - **Art Dates & Fun Learning**: Gift an art date or join my chill 10-hour beginner course. Perfect for unwinding and learning together. - **Workshops for a Cause**: I host crochet workshops for NGOs and love spreading the joy wherever I can. ## More services from Crochet Kala - [Custom Crochet Items](https://mytribe.in/crochet.kala/custom-crochet-items) · ₹250-4,000 per piece (estimate) - [Crochet Workshops and Courses](https://mytribe.in/crochet.kala/crochet-workshops-and-courses) · ₹900-2,200 per person per session (estimate) ## Book To book Crochet Kala, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Crochet%20Upcycling%20%26%20Redesign%20by%20Crochet%20Kala.)
