Alya’s crochet journey began during the quiet days of the pandemic, when the world slowed down and she finally had time to create from the heart.
What started as a simple hobby soon grew into a passion for designing handmade crochet pieces that reflect her identity, culture, and love for creativity.
Each item — whether a soft doll, a delicate flower, or a cozy piece of clothing — is crafted with care, with storytelling woven into every stitch. Through her creations, Alya aims to spread warmth and nostalgia, bringing smiles to people of all ages and helping them appreciate the beauty of handmade art. Her work blends tradition, creativity, and craftsmanship, offering both children and adults sweet memories that last a lifetime.
WORKSHOP: Designing crocheted coasters
Participants can join the “Design Your Own Coaster” Workshop and let their imagination come to life! In this hands-on session, they’ll get the chance to create their very own personalized coaster using a variety of adorable crocheted items such as mini flowers, tiny ducks, cute bears, decorative beads, and even embroidery. They can freely mix, match, and attach any pieces they like to design something that truly reflects their style. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unleash creativity and enjoy the art of handmade design in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. At the end of the Marketplace, there will also be a mini raffle where everyone who shares any part of the market booth or items on social media and tags the brand will be entered for a chance to win a special surprise!
