Crafting a vest or crafting a future

The US is being hit by a home crafter movement that is set to get the DIY movement growing.

A new generation of crafters of all ages is whipping out flirty
skirts, handmade books, designer jewelry and savvy scrapbooks. They’re
inspired by pop culture, Urban Outfitters, the red carpet and the
kamikaze designing on Project Runway

Is this the start of a new movement or a reaction to something already hitting a tipping point?
