I learned to embroider as a teenager. Self-taught. Why? I had a
denim jacket. It was the 1980s. I was [typical teenager] into a
"Classic Rock" phase, Classic Rock being anything from the late
60s/70s at that point - now Classic Rock = 80s/90s. [I like all
music now but I particularly like what's been coming out of EDM.
It's a nice formula they use, and I had a Dubstep fascination
for a bit, and occasionally dabble in Nightcore or whatever's
floating around on Youtube] Anyway, I embroidered a very
elaborate Led Zeppelin motif on the entire back of the jacket.
It was elegant but after two years, someone stole it because I
left it in a stupid place. Didn't like doing it though.
Embroidering hurt the hell out of my thumb muscle.
