I made some solarpunk soda tab jewelry!! Again. And I'm making more. (Image ID at the bottom of he post)

A choker, a pair of earrings, a belt/waist chain and some bracelets using 100% thrifted/recycled materials! The choker and the bracelets have two layers so that the sharp aluminum edges on the back of the tabs aren't making contact with skin, you can kinda see it in the pictures. Here are more pictures:

[Image ID: 8 images. The first one shows a choker made out of soda tabs, with black cord weaved through it forming x shapes. There's a silver spike charm hanging from every other tab about an inch apart from each other. Im in the picture wearing the choker, my face is not in frame but my pale as fuck neck is visible and so is my dark brown hair.

The second image shows a pair of clip-on earrings laying on a sage green background. Each earring is made of 6 soda tabs weaved into a flower shape with green yarn, and three dangles hanging from the bottom. The dangles are made of a wire link with a black bead on in and a silver spike charm hanging from that. The same spike charms I used for the choker.

The third image shows a 2 ft 7 inch long belt chain made of the soda tab flowers from the earring image. Each flower is made of six tabs weaved together with the same green yarn but they yarn fades to yellow towards the end of the chain. 16 soda tab flowers are linked together with large jump rings and there are large silver clasps on each end to attach to a belt.

The forth image is my hand wearing a black compression brace and two soda tab bracelets. They are weaved together the same way as the choker, with the cord forming x shapes, but the cord is orange and not black. The bracelets are the same size, 8 inches long when laying flat including the clasp. There are two layers of soda tabs which makes the bracelet a little thicker.

The next 2 images shows a dress form wearing the belt chain from two different angles. It had a black skirt with a soda tab belt, with various spikey chains hanging from it. There's a black strip of grommet tape hanging on the right side of the belt and my soda tab flower belt chain hanging on the left side.

The next image shows one of the bracelets at and angle so the double layers are visible, and the last image shows the bracelets, the choker, and an unfinished soda tab choker with green ribbon weaved through it all laying flat on a sage green background. End ID]

Soda tab flower tutorial post! 🌻🌼🌸 lots of pictures included. ****This is part one, check the reblogs for the other half!! *****

What you'll need: scissors, yarn or string (any color) and soda tabs. 6 tabs for one flower (or 7, but I use 6 personally)

Step 1: take 2 tabs and lay them over each other so that the hole on the bottom of one lines up with the hole on the top of the other, like this-

And tie them together. Then cut the short end of the string sticking up to get rid of the excess. You'll want to tie it with the back of he tabs facing up so the knot will be on the back side. Make sure to tie it tightly so the knot doesn't slip around when you're wrapping the tabs with the yarn

Step 2: wrap the side edges of the 2 tabs 3 times. You'll want to do it relatively tightly, but not as tight as possible. The tension is a little tricky to figure out because you want the flower to keep its shape well but also be loose enough to bend into a flower shape with ease. This takes practice.

Step 3: On the 3rd wrap, add another tab under the 2nd tab, like this-

And pull the string through the back of the new tab you put under the 2nd tab. And wrap 3 times to attach it to your other tabs. Pulling the string over the edges to the back, through the lined up holes, and pulling it out towards you. On every 3rd wrap, add another tab the same way until you have 6 tabs wrapped together like this-

so many creatures putting SO much effort into putting ‘special’ fluids that TOTALLY aren’t water through every organ possible to clean them so they can use them again 2 seconds later. like why not simply sit on a damp substrate and pull water through your body by evaporating the extra out pores in your leaves lmaoooo

More Sashiko

Finally finished my last lot of Sashiko for a little while. I backed these 4 hana-fukins and the table centre with a Japanese cotton print so they can be used as reversible placemats.

Finally got this thing mounted! I’m so happy with how it looks! 🍊🍊🍊

Friends doing a sewing circle thing this year and the January project was to make a bag of some kind. I made this strawberry drawstring backpack as a stash buster project!

As my introduction to Tumblr I figured I'd just share some of my current and past knitting and crochet projects.

Visible mending on the leg of my climbing pants! I want to replace all the mending I did previously on these with leaves n branches n stuff, I think it’ll look so much cooler

This is getting ridiculous. I have just spend at least half an hour looking down in awe at the marvellous swoosh swoosh, and because I cannot contain it any longer, you get a shitty picture of what's making me so happy right now:

Yes, this is my mock-up skirt, the very first skirt I've ever made, and I love it so much. It's made of old bed sheets and old, abandoned clothes I rescued, washed, ripped, and sewed on as ruffles.

It was supposed to be a mock-up of the split side skirt, so I could learn the techniques before I use it on the expensive fabrics, and it wasn't supposed to have ruffles. When I had finished making the upper part, though, it was kinda short, and I looked at my pile of ripped old clothes, and thought 'Why not. If nothing else, I'll at least learn how to do ruffles.'

First thing I learned about ruffles is that it's a lot of fabric. And I mean a lot. This full circle skirt now has the accumulated fabric (and weight) of three shirts, a big pillowcase, and the remnants of another bedsheet.

Second thing I learned about ruffles is that they're easier to make than you would think. Third thing I learned about ruffles is that I love them.

And consequently, I wore the first incarnation of this skirt around the house even before I hemmed it. The bedsheets were bright yellow and baby blue, the clothes were white, and grey, and black, and generally pretty washed out. The colours looked awful, but I loved the cut and the swoosh.

Today, I was in town, and I saw a dye kit in what they called dark berry red, and I thought it might be fun to try. And oh boy, I was not prepared. You probably cannot see it in the picture, but this skirt is now so many different shades of dark brown, dark red, and purple, it's awesome!

The different patches look like a design choice now, instead of the 'take what you have and make it work' that it was, and I'm completely thrown with how it looks, and with how well it goes with the shirt I'm wearing. I cannot stop smiling, and touching, and swooshing^^

If fashion was like this all the time, I would love it so much!

Paraphrased from David Lynch's quote "and when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

I always loved that quote, and am happy to see it finding new life now.

My brother's beloved pullover got eaten by moths, so I was allowed to use it to practice my darning. A lot of learning as I went, and you can sort of see which holes I started with and my skill slowly improving. Tried out different colour combinations and anchorings and all in all, very pleased with the results.
