This semester, for our Technology and Innovation in Education course, we will work on a free inquiry project. When I knew about our project, I thought my inquiry should be related to crafts. I like crafts, I think crafts help me to connect to myself and to relax.

I have seen lovely embroidery projects on Pinterest, and my interest in learning how to embroider has grown. Then, I think our free inquiry project is a great opportunity to try something new.

If you have not heard about embroidery, according to Wikipedia, embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn.

My goal is to finish a project like any of the ones above and document the process, but we will see where my journey takes me.

I have compiled a list of pros and cons:

Pros:

• I like crafts
• The materials are easy to find and budget-friendly
• I will learn something new
• It will be a time to connect with my inner artist😉

Cons:

• I do not know anything about embroidery
• My final project might turn out to be too ambitious
• It can be time-consuming (embroidery+school+work)
• If I run out of time, I might not enjoy the process

As you can see, there are important cons to consider, but if I set aside one hour or two per week, I think it will be manageable.

I am happy to share my embroidery journey with you. I wonder if you knew about embroidery? Have you ever tried? What do you think I should embroider as a final project, any suggestions?

P.S. Here is a video about embroidery:

Until next time,
