Not a big embroiderer, but this was a fun little project.

Today we are darning socks. I’m going to update this post with progress pics once I take them. This sock had a pretty large hole in the heel from wear and a puppy decided it was a chew toy as well. So I’m going to fix it. Because I’m not trying to buy socks right now because I’m poor 😂

Im using a handy dandy Speedweve loom to patch this hole. I absolutely love using this little guy to mend holes. I’ll link to it below for anyone that wants one.

I do have to mention that the rubber bands that came with the one I bought were trash. So get your own rubber bands. But the lion itself is a game changer.

Exploring the Art of Fashion Designing: A Creative Journey

Fashion designing is not just about clothes; it's a captivating blend of art, culture, and innovation. It's a realm where ideas come to life through fabrics, stitches, and visionary creativity.

At the heart of fashion designing lies the passion to create. Designers are like storytellers, weaving narratives through their collections. Each garment tells a unique tale, reflecting the designer's inspirations, beliefs, and aspirations.

The process begins with inspiration, drawn from diverse sources such as nature, history, travel, or personal experiences. A designer might find beauty in the intricate patterns of a butterfly's wings or draw inspiration from the vibrant colors of a bustling cityscape.

Once inspired, the designer translates their vision into sketches. These initial drawings capture the essence of the design, from silhouette to detailing. With advancements in technology, many designers now use digital tools to bring their sketches to life, adding layers of detail and precision.

Choosing the right fabrics is crucial in fashion designing. The texture, drape, and quality of the fabric can transform a design, elevating it from ordinary to extraordinary. Designers often experiment with various fabrics, combining them in innovative ways to achieve the desired look and feel.

The art of fashion designing also involves meticulous craftsmanship. From pattern making to garment construction, each step requires skill and attention to detail. Seamstresses and tailors play a vital role in bringing the designer's vision to fruition, ensuring that every stitch is perfect and every seam flawless.

Fashion shows and runway presentations are the grand finale of the designing process. Here, designers showcase their creations to the world, inviting admiration, critique, and inspiration. These events are not just about displaying clothes; they are immersive experiences that celebrate creativity and style.

Beyond the glamour and glitz, fashion designing is a dynamic industry that constantly evolves with trends, technologies, and societal changes. Sustainable practices, inclusivity, and ethical sourcing are becoming integral aspects of modern fashion designing, reflecting a shift towards conscious consumerism.

In conclusion, fashion designing is a fascinating blend of artistry, innovation, and storytelling. It's a world where creativity knows no bounds, and every design is a masterpiece waiting to be unveiled. Whether creating haute couture or ready-to-wear collections, designers leave their mark on the world, shaping trends and inspiring generations to come.

Visible/Invisible Pocket Mend

Fixed ripped pockets by recreating pockets with scraps of the ripped pocket and scraps from another project

When my coworker tried to rip the stitches on her blazer pockets that were sewn shut, she accidentally ripped the pocket (and missed the tacking stitches)

I took out the ripped pockets, made a pattern, and then moved the unripped portion up on the pattern. I added scrap fabric to the bottom of the pocket to compensate for the part that I removed.

I put the Franken-pocket back in the blazer, and now you can't tell that there's a mend unless you take the pocket out completely.

The pockets aren't perfect, but they're better than they were.

RATI IS LIVE ☁️ ୭.⋆｡⋆༶⋆˙

At exactly 11:35am on the 31st of September the supermoon peaked as I pressed the share button. An idea gifted by a redirection, the process of nurturing a thought into the physical, has truly been a spiritual and healing journey. Affirmed in the energies of this blue moon my heart is in awe for this new chapter and opportunity for connection.

Rati, the goddess of eros, love & pleasure, is my journey back to the divine feminine. It is an ode to the way I see the world through the eyes of curiosity and heart of purity.

Unsure what the future holds I intuitively feel this is a vessel beyond me, it is an invitation for creation, connection and collaboration.
