Summer Trend 2016 – What’s currently popular in crafts? ___Not___ an advertising thread

Dear users, dear authors,
what’s totally “in” this year—and of course this summer—what’s trending, and what are the must-haves?
These could be techniques, clothing items, specific animals, or special decorative items.
Let me know.

Please remember:
This is a general discussion thread, not an advertising thread. Thank you for your understanding.
I will remove any advertisements.

Hi, I think shawls are still in style this summer, as are summery ponchos. They’re easy to take along, and you can throw them on in the evening when it gets chilly.

Crocheted tops—you’re seeing more and more of those in stores, too.

Statement necklaces and storage baskets.

What about pareos and sarongs, both of which are essential parts of beachwear?
Are there any new trends or developments there?

Are owls still “in”? .... Or are they slowly being replaced?

Owls are still in...

I think crocheted skirts—not just for kids, but for women too—are trendy; you see them more and more often in store windows.
And tops/airy tops.

Baby accessories in general are popular in the crafting world.

Best regards, Nina
