Needlecraft-Adjacent and Braiding Hobbies

Hobbies built around hand assembly of paper, thread or fabric scraps into a finished album, cord or textile, a maker-and-tinkerer hobby in Stebbins' typology kept apart from this atlas's Fiber craft subcategory because these are pursued as a hobby rather than a practiced trade discipline. Belongs here: scrapbooking, junk journaling, parfilage (unraveling antique metallic thread for reuse), kumihimo (Japanese braid making), scoubidou (plastic lace braiding) and quilting bees, the last grouped here as the social hobby of communal quilting gatherings rather than with this atlas's Quilting craft entity, which covers the practiced needlework itself. Does not belong here: knitting, crochet, weaving, sewing, embroidery and quilting as practiced crafts, which are craft entities with their own Fiber subcategory, not hobby entities.
