Tired of letting the sewing machine embroider everything for you? Learn to cross stitch!

School has started again, and for those of you who think that it is monotonous with teachers, homework and project work, 365 gives you seven things you can do at your school.

The best thing about the parts that make up our lives is that the components are removable. Stereos are supposed to be indoors on a shelf. But you can stand up and take your punk music to the park and dance. Personally I’m very happy about new combinations and mixtures. Guerilla knitting blends handicraft and graffiti. Flash mob blends performance and demonstrating. A new thing I would like you all to try to do a bit here and there is cross stitch.

There is a girl who decorates buses in southern Sweden with cross stitches. She always brings a needle and thread and makes small characters in the bus seats. It doesn’t damage the bus in any way and it brings a smile to most people who see them.

Here you’ll find Ulrika Erdes.

Here you will find instructions on how to learn to cross stitch.

You can renew old clothes, do cross stitch plaques with sayings, sew pillows and backpacks. But you can also think of something new and bring your cross-stitching to the new context. Sew outdoors, sewing shoes, sewing books, sewing fruit, sewing flags and armchairs.

Required time: 
1 week or less
Cost: 
Less than €10
Cons: 
If you sew on someone’s body or property the person may get a little upset.
Pros: 
It is a beautiful craft that can be used both as art and as a political statement.
