I’m making a messenger bag and I had the bright idea to embroider something on the front flap.

Two problems with that: I have no plan for what design I want to go for, and I haven’t embroidered anything other than cross-stitch in years.

So I drew a simple Silent Princess on some scraps from the bag fabric to see if I still remember how to do it. Six or seven hours later, this was the result, and I’m pretty happy with it.

Working on a few things but nothing's wrapped up this week so here's a project I finished last year. For someone's birthday I embroidered linen so they could make their own tie on pockets using the pattern from Burnley and Trowbridge.

Every motif was stitched with a single strand of thread and this took about 90 hours to complete. The bottle caps help to drive home the scale - 18th century pockets were not small! I stitched this on 1.5 yards of linen and gifted the entire length so that the person could sew the finished project themselves, as they liked to sew historical costumes and I knew they would have opinions on things like the bindings. The main motifs are based on the Four Gentlemen of classical Chinese art - plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo. I aimed for a cohesive design but didn't want to create duplicate matching pockets. The borders and floating motifs are largely taken from historical early American embroidery designs.

I'll admit I never fully got your gripe with shows and movies presenting embroidery as a silly women's diversion but now I've been dipping my toe into it as a hobby I'm like....this shit is SO hard and time consuming and making it look good is going to take SO much practice. I'd bite the head off any screenwriter who even hinted otherwise. I'll go to jail about it but at my trial I'll have a captive audience so who's REALLY losing here, huh?? HUH?!

it is. SO HARD.

I'm terrible at embroidery. it truly is an art form- and like most art conventionally associated with women, it's been undervalued for a very long time

like yeah it's not necessary for survival, but neither is painting in oils, and yet we have a dozen movies (correctly!) glorifying the work of skilled male- and occasionally even female -painters. where's the May Morris biopic?

look at that! Morris designed and made these bed hangings, with assistance from fellow artist Mary Newill! try to tell me that's not art; I dare you!
