#handSewing

[somnambulant-seraphim]

I tried cross stitch for the first time!! ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ.⋆˚౨ৎ˚⋆. <3

I used some boomark-sized pieces that I think are from my grandmother's supplies that she passed down. I love the lace they have, and the brown colour of the material :-)

First I did an ivy pattern with some grey butterflies and specks. Second, I made a night sky scene with a crescent moon, pine trees, ferns, and an owl on a branch. I've also started a little garden scene, with rows of plants.

It was all freehand, and didn't really thin out the embroidery thread for a lot of it, so the lines are thicker and more solid-looking.

So I came across this image on pinterest and was like... I want that!

Then I saw the €135 price tag and was like... nah, I don't want that.

I want something like that. But less expensive, and also less multicoloured. The company calls it a cape, so I started project The Cape.

I went to the fabric store, saw a huge amount of fun stuff but nothing with the stubtle star pattern I had imagined for The Cape, so I just got 200x135cm of the plainest black linen.

Made some arm holes and hung it up because I have no time to work on it today.

Tomorrow I'll search through my stash for suitable fabric to line the armholes. And I might commit to the herculean task of hemming the unfinished edges

The elbow on this cardigan wore out, so I decided to fix it with some flowers 🌸

I’m labelling this as finished even though it isn’t, it’s one of those projects that will never really be ‘finished’ as it’s going to continue to grow and evolve over time. But I’m marking it as finished because it’s wearable, see those mushroom panels on the sides? I slashed the sides of the vest open and sewed them in to make it larger. I’ve had this vest for over a decade and it was a perfect fit back then and, well, since then I’ve not only gained weight, but I’ve also started testosterone which has resulted in weight redistribution and moved some of the fat from my face and hips to my stomach, so it needed adjusting to be comfortable to wear.

I’ve also sewn on a bunch of patches, technically since I took these photos I’ve added another patch and painted a huge trans flag on the back of it. I really do love my vest and now that it’s getting cold I wear it over my black and red pokemon jacket for an extra layer of warmth.

Handfinishing my gussets, it's going quite well i think

The joys of tiny rolled hems, doing some hand sewing for my latest 18th century project. This is the smallest one I've ever made, focusing on slow sewing. . . . . . . #HistoricalGarments #Handsewing #SewingInspiration #SlowFashion #RolledHem #18thCenturyFashion #HistoricalCostuming #Linen #1700s #SewingProject https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyIx3JOAzh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I decided to scribble out my basic long furby process. It’s simple and you can make one with stuff you already have.

If you make one please show me!

Me, too many projects? Nah

Anyways, before the new year I drew a concept for a utility belt I wanted to make out of an army coat, and today I've pinned together all the components. Already had the wallet looking thingie and the lighter fabric pouch with the thigh strap.

1/4 BJD sewing (for someone who knew how to sew like 10 years ago)

hello! i'm looking to get back into sewing, specifically try my hand at doll clothes. mostly skirts, dresses, pants, and vests/blouses. i was wondering if there are any good starting points/patterns/resources for starting out? i'd love to be able to draft my own patterns someday, but i think i need to figure out some other things before that.

if anyone has any advice, it'd be really appreciated(and hopefully others will find it helpful too!)

Say hi to butterfree! What a squishable friend.

He is around 40cm (~16 in) tall, not measuring the antennae. Big guy! He is made completely with minky! yes even the details! The only bit that isn't minky is the teeth; those are felt :3

The wings and the soles of the feet have some interfacing to keep their shapes better. The wings are only lightly stuffed; they are like thin pillows haha.

Butterfree's antennae has thick wire on them, so you can pose them! You can see the range of movement in the lower photos in the first pic. He also has some beans on his butt. I absolutely adore how this boy came out < 3 the wing pattern was a pain to handsew ahah

Butterfree was a commission for a Facebook client. My commissions are open! Message me for a quote <3

I made this little guy back in 2020 using a pattern from Annwood, I want to make many more of these little birds, I used scraps of fabric from a bedsheet to make him.

It’s been more or less a million years since I last had a habit of posting to tumblr. I don’t know how to start again.

Anyway, here’s a collection of things I’ve made this autumn (that are not drawings). I’ve been mending a lot. Knots and a mug and a sleeve and a yarn and holes and buttons and a knife and a mitten and a pocket and an apron(half).

I have a kid now, and it’s more of a challenge to find the time to make or draw things, but something’s still happening :O
