Date: 2022-07-02 05:18 pm (UTC)I like making patches for my old jeans and sometimes embroidering something on them and attaching them.
2. What got you into it?
I had on an old pair of jeans that fit well when I was overnighting at a friend's house and the leg area above the knee ripped. So I borrowed some material and a needle and thread and patched it. So then I was invested in them (and as I said, I liked them to begin with) so as they developed subsequent holes I made more patches. The more I patched them, the more I had invested in keeping them going. Oh, and I liked the specific appearance of the jeans with patches, I thought it looked cool.
3. What was your favorite arts & crafts project as a kid?
I don't think I had any that I particularly liked as a kid. Hmm, yes there was: I enjoyed making a riot of colors with crayons until there was no remaining white space, then covering it all with black crayon, then using a sharp toothpick or similar item to scrape away the black, so I'd end up with a drawing made of color against a black backdrop.
4. What has someone made for you?
I have a winter bathrobe with kittens on it that my mom made for me.
5. Are there any unfinished projects in your life you need to pick back up?
Not in the arts and crafts area, at least not that I can think of.
