NEW lEISURE ACTIVITIES DURING PANDEMIC

The new activity that’s been keeping me entertained is coming from the textiles world. Well, most of the things i‘ve done so far are unfinished, is a bad habit i’ve always had actually haha.
For many years I’ve had interest in embroidery so i started from there.

I made these like ancient letters (I don’t know the specific name, they’re from the 16^th century though) 

 This is a replica of a Matisse painting of a cute cat in cross stitch.

Then I learned to crochet, I started with thin threads, I remember at the start it was so hard to get the stitches right, I used to make them too tight but with time and practice you learn the movement and just get it right out of nowhere.

This is some sort of mini tablecloth, 

I really love these colors combined

                              This glove took a lot of time and patience,

                             one of the fingers broke for some reason :(

Then we bought a missing piece from my mom’s and I sewing machine.

I’ve tried many times to do garments too with this but I always mess up something and then get frustrated and leave it there. 

The last projects I’ve done are these stuffed toys, I use to draw characters when I’m bored in classes so I wanted to make them in 3d, I’ve only done two and now I’m starting a third. I like them so much <3

The crochet helps me a lot during some classes bc most of the time I find it hard to have my hands unoccupied, knitting also keeps me alarmed and in some way more concentrated, all these things provide an outlet for creativity and in general they keep me entertained when I don’t have much to do, it’s been amazing to learn all these techniques because my mom also loves it and has helped me to connect with her too.
