Self Expression in Stitchery

There is so much to learn about my chosen careers! I certainly have my work cut out for me. It looks like from some of the videos I’ve seen on Facebook that I need to learn sewing too. I’m fundamentally familiar with hand sewing, and took one class of machine sewing in middle school, but that might be a good supplement to my knitting and crocheting skills.

I’m experimenting with hemming my own jeans. It’s a work-in-progress. I may start upcycling jeans from the thrift stores in town to give them some extra style and add my own fashion sense to them.

I’m very interested in personal expression and the limits it can reach at the moment. What if every stitch pattern has a different meaning or interpretation? Isn’t that the essence of personal style and expression? Just a few of the questions I am pondering for the meantime.
