FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

I started crocheting as an initial hobby and pastime at the beginning of the pandemic. I found that crocheting became a large form of therapy for me and an important part of reducing my stress and anxiety. Practicing the craft for just half an hour a day immensely improved my well being emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I also love how crocheting can be a form of self expression while also supporting sustainable practices within the fashion industry. I do this through using recycled and second hand sourced materials while also challenging my creativity to make new pieces without a pattern. I also think that it is a cool way for me to hand make one off pieces that cannot be replicated through machines.

In this video, I film myself freehand crocheting a skirt to convey my topic. Although a simple and straightforward video, I wanted to keep it light and easy to watch to portray how I feel more relaxed and at ease when I am crocheting and how it continues to resonate with me after. I also show how quick and easy it is to produce your own skirt with minimal resources and cost in order to support a sustainable wardrobe. This project allowed me to connect with my capstone project on how the craft of crocheting is not only used as a creative medium for decorative and artistic purposes, but also as a kind of therapy and self expression.
