I made the tense consistent. Also, I changed embroidery to knitting, because nobody says embroidery.

Embroidery and knitting have different meanings. In the United States, knitting is a common hobby, but embroidery is not common. Because the story describes hobbies, I assumed that you meant to write knitting. Perhaps in your country embroidery is common, and therefore you fully intended to write embroidery. If that's true, I made a mistake. Sorry!
