During pandemic times most of us were safely tucked away at home, dabbling in arts and crafts hobbies to alleviate the boredom. Meanwhile, some folks decided to take time out of their lives to engage in wholesome visits with their grandparents before it was too late.

One such 27 Y.O. is a Tiktoker by the name of Julia, who shared her own discoveries of her senior’s secret talents during one such trek to her grandmother’s in 2021. She barely knew how to sew but when she stumbled across her Grandma’s clothing sketches, she was inspired to bring the designs to life as best she could. Scroll below to see how she did in her efforts of bringing Nana’s designer dreams to life which has now amassed over 21 million views.
