My name is Samantha. I have a lot of hobbies but my main hobby is collecting hobbies. Hahaha Mom jokes aside, my current hobby collection includes:
- Crochet
- Sewing
- Quilting
- Denim Upcycling
- Purses and Other Bags
- Hand Embroidery
- Reading
- Podcast listening, mostly fictional or narrative storytelling
I have always known how to crochet, don’t remember learning. My mother and her mother crocheted, embroidered, and sewed, and I even remember seeing my maternal great grandmother crocheting with thread these tiny doilies and she was blind at that point!
Mom and Grandma sewed most of my clothes and even my Barbie doll clothes. I was always amazed at the tiny dresses my grandmother would whip up for my Barbies. They taught me to hand stitch and embroidery, but never would show me how to machine sew. I ended up learning how during 2020 making masks because I didn’t like the disposables or what others were making.
