i dont have before pictures, but this is how i mended one of my favorite sweaters. the cuffs were falling apart and since the knit was very worn, i decided to add this red ribbon i had in my ribbon stash. while sewing i kept the cuff stretched which created this lovely bell shape. overall its just nice to be able to continue wearing this sweater
[ID: two photo's showing a gray knit sleeve with a hand poking out of it. The edge of the sleeve has been stretched out and covered with a red ribbon.]
Ooh, I love the contrasting colours!

Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
Tumblr media
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
Tumblr media
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

Just a heads up, something really messed up is going on with Joann (fabric/craft store) and I highly recommend you don’t order online from them. Multiple people, including myself, have placed orders, had the entire thing or most of the order canceled by the store the same day while claiming the items aren’t in stock. However, they will hold the amount of your order for a month, in PayPal’s case, and not actually cancel it. I have called, emailed, and texted all of their customer service lines and only got one text in response that was just… a lie?
Obviously, they should not be allowing people to order stuff that supposedly isn’t in stock to begin with, but they should also actually cancel the order and not let a chunk of your money sit in limbo or never refund it.
Additionally, the twenty something items I ordered (to make a gift for a friend and for some Patreon stuff) were all very different things and there’s no reasonable way every single item was out of stock. And then they lied and said it was a payment issue:
Tumblr media
When I spoke to both my bank and PayPal they said everything is up to date and perfectly functioning.
I honestly can’t tell you what, exactly is going on. But something is. And it’s bs. And I would highly recommend you find another source for crafting supplies if you can.

It feels a little like cheating to post this one since I didn’t look at instructions at all and I’m unsure which of these two patterns it’s from. I cut this out probably three years ago and then I had a big move to another state. I stuffed the cut pieces into a plastic bag. I found the bag recently and the pieces were clear enough to just toss them together.
Pattern: Either Mccalls 2128 or Mccalls 8155

Edits: I know that I haven’t edited either of these patterns yet so this cardigan was made from just the pattern as is.
Fabric: I think I got this from a mystery/ scrap box listed on Facebook in a fabric destash group.
Fit: I’m bummed I don’t know where this fabric came from or where to get more. It feels so lovely and lush on my skin. I would love to make a pullover top or some stretch pants from it. 🤷🏾‍♀️
Thoughts: I truly feel like these two patterns are like the same. I can SEE the differences in the pattern sleeve pictures but they just feel like parts one and two of the same pattern to me. I’ve read through both and they’re simple enough to understand. I do plan on making more cardigans / pullover tops from both. Overall happy with the results. I still need to finish up the hems and edges. I’ve also decided not to add buttons to this one but I love the buttoned looks.

thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.
I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.
I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.
I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.
Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

"Try the Turkish cast on!" the pattern said. "It will be fun and so tidy!" the Internet said.

where to get cheap FABRIC these days? assume I already understand the sources and options for items that can be turned into textiles like buying cheap drapes and thrifting, which are good suggestions. also btw if you do not already know, Indian textile importers go crazy on eBay rn. vintage or recycled sari silk (both fake silk and real mulberry silk) and woodblock cotton are both fantastic on eBay. but that's not what I need, rn I'm looking especially for velvet, silk velvet and rayon velvet particularly, in quantities large enough for bedding and drapes.
Tumblr media
anyway here's some of the sari/saree that's available from India, I know a lot of my mutuals knit and crochet too, they have tons and tons of silk sari cut into yarn and ribbon too

parabatai are literally so insignificant in tmi and I know it's just bc the parabatai lore wasn't ever supposed to become as significant as it is now but it's kind of sending me regardless bc you're telling me that will and jem didn't even have to be doing all that?

I wear a veil/mask when I go out in public for obvious reasons, and I've started wearing a head covering to hide my awkward hair and because it makes me feel beautiful. I also tend to knit or embroider whenever I have to hold still for any length of time.
Currently, I'm knitting gloves so I have like six double pointed needles in my project and it's hilarious how many people will double-take as they realize the mound of pretty fabric is a person, and then sit and watch with 0o0 expressions as they realize i'm doing some form of crafting
