A

The DIY girl — Mia's tie-dye journey

Mia is a 14-year-old Canadian girl who is crazy about tie-dye DIY. Because there were few local hand-making classes in her town, she could not take face-to-face lessons. She chose to teach herself this traditional craft at home.

She could not afford expensive tie-dye kits, so she reused old cloth and searched for free DIY articles in the public library. She watched free short teaching videos in her free time. She joined an online youth DIY group. Some other group members bought expensive kits and received better online guidance. Mia thought more wisely than many of them. Sometimes she felt upset when her

colour patterns turned out bad. Luckily, her group coach gave her constant encouragement.

Her coach told her: perfect works are not the only goal. DIY practice itself is a lifelong task, and she should trust her own efforts. Encouraged by these words, Mia kept practising patiently weekend after weekend. From Mia's story, we know good DIY lovers need curiosity, strong will-power and self-belief.
