had some very interesting experiences with men and fiber crafts today.

at lunch i was embroidering some cute flowers on a pair of jorts and a male friend of mine came over and was like "omg u can knit??!" and i was like. "uhm. no. i can embroider tho." (i didnt know how to knit at the time)

then later, once a friend had taught me how to knit for the play were doing, my male teacher saw me knitting away and was like "oh! u were sewing while getting your hair done? awesome!" (were figuring out hairstyles for the play and are time crunching) and again i was just like. "erm no i was knitting." my teacher was like "its a gender thing. us guys cant tell the difference" (he was joking. probably.)

then when i was telling these stories to my mom after school, my dad yelled from the basement that he knew how to knit. later, when i was ranting abt how different the crafts are, but how i could understand some being mixed up, he was indignant. so its not a gender thing.

anyways i perhaps could understand crocheting and knitting being mixed up. and maybe embroidery and sewing if u really know nothing. but both these guys got a yarn craft and a thread craft swapped 😭

• Saadi: Tige collection.

Designer/Maker: Christian Dior; made in the atelier flou by Christiane; embroidery by Bataille

Place of origin: Made in Paris, worn in Toronto

Date: Autumn/Winter 1947-1948

Medium: Silk satin, embroidered and beaded

Suit

Fabric c.1725-1750

This man’s suit, comprising a coat, waistcoat and breeches, was acquired in Paris. It appears to have been made from an embroidered furnishing fabric, possibly a bed hanging, dating to the second quarter of the 18th Century, that has been turned into a theatrical or fancy dress outfit approximating the mid 18th Century in style. The bright yellow satin has been intricately pieced together, particularly on the waistcoat that, of the three garments, is the least authentic in cut. The sprays of large flowers tied together with ribbon bows, embroidered in couched chenille thread, have either been cut from the original fabric and stitched down or left in situ on the satin. A scattering of metal spangles is most dense on the front of the waistcoat, and the 18th Century metallic lace borders incorporate both very narrow strips of silver thread and metal thread wrapped around a silk core.

Agnus Dei ~ Exquisite metal embroidery on this 19th century silk damask priest’s cope from my collection.

Aight I'm finally tackling this. I'm reorganizing my Webkinz shelves. My closet is a total disaster and my Signature shelf is all dusty. Last time I did this was 2020. I'd say it's needed.

Every creator of enamel pins should think about also making needle minders.

It's the same thing, but with magnets. One magnet on the backside, another loose one to fix it on fabric.

Not only as needle minders, but as pins for people who don't want to punch holes in a delicate clothing item.

If you don't know, a needle minder is a little magnet that you keep on your hoop or frame while embroidering to put your needle onto while you're not actively stitching. The magnet is the whole point. That it's also decorative is just a bonus.

But it's also very collectable!

And there aren't that many shops that sell them compared to enamel pins.

That's an untapped market. Just saying...
