Literally crafty characters
Sometimes the main character is into fiber arts, sometimes a side character is hand embroidering a jean jacket for her wife. All recs and craft types welcome.

What an excellent list!
Scythe and sparrow. The mmc is in a crochet club with a bunch of feisty little old ladies and the fmc infiltrates the club. However, there is a lot of spice and gore so check trigger warnings before reading!
Okay, love this, adding now!
Brynne Weaver?
yes!
I think Leather & Lark could also fit. Lark is very crafty when it comes to the remains of her victims 🤭
OH YES I forgot about that for a minute!
For the spicy adult readers, the girl in Dom Com by Adriana Anders builds book nooks with miniature scenes 😍
Hahaha, wonderful, adding now.
I'm reading "In Time with You" by Kristin Dwyer and her family treats wool/yarn making like witchcraft or tarot. She talks about the colors as she dyes the wool.
Adding!
A Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite When We Lost Our Heads by Heather O’Neill Both have embroidery in them.
Thank you!
