I chose to spend time getting comfortable with embroidery on fabrics over the weekend, and experimented with many pieces of my clothing for embroidering techniques. For my larger embroidery/mending project, I chose to spice up my old pair of party jeans. These were my jeans that I would wear out a lot, and they have been to many concert/parties/gatherings with me. It’s been really hard to cope without the types of interactions I am used to, and it has been really damaging my mental health. Because of that, I decided to add some beauty to the pair of jeans that I miss wearing the most. I decided to add a sunflower because flowers and natural patterns remind me of the hope in life. Also, they remind me of my dogs at home, both of which have helped me get through every setback in life. This photo is an in-progress photo, but I like how the flower is turning out so far!
I also am finishing up my second tapestry, and I plan on embroidering brightly colored tree leaves over the flat piece I have right now. The flat part is pictured below:
