SUZY ROTH
Pandemic Yo-Yos
During the pandemic I found it comforting to sew hundreds of yo-yos. I challenged myself to make this a charm project by sewing only one yo-yo per fabric. Many of the fabrics I used have special meaning coming from my mom, my friends, and past projects. I found it soothing to select each fabric, cut the circles, sew the stitching lines, and gather up the yo-yos. Keeping my hands busy calmed my worries. My intention is to sew the yo-yos together to make a large coverlet. This would require nearly one thousand yo-yos. I’m nearly halfway there. I will forever remember this project as a positive element in coping with the isolation of the covid pandemic.
