Social anxiety is a bitch but I managed some pictures in the workshop of different swatches the teacher brought.

Technically, I think it was Pokémon but I never thought of it as anime at time but of as a Saturday morning cartoon.

Now Tokyo Mew Mew (or as it was known on YTV Mew Mew Power), that was an anime. The 4Kids dub was brilliant

My first 'real' anime that came on outside of cartoon territory was for sure Inuyasha and Sesshy is still my one, true sexyman

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

On and off the loom.

Weaving the second part of what will hopefully become a nice poncho.

#this is an amazing texture for a poncho! #I'd love to see the stages of Becoming Poncho #will it be sewn together pr completed fully on the loom? #I'm so nosey #what pattern and yarns did you use? #weaving

My guild made a few of these out of what looks like particle board, maybe?

Could be time to run to a hardware store if you want something more durable

Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas for makeshift shuttles? I have four shuttles and 9 weft colours. Two of my shuttles are big, so I’ve doubled the colours up on those, but that still leaves me with 3 weft yarns without shuttles, and I really don’t want to have to keep swapping them out since each colour only has five throws (rows? I’m not sure the terminology) of weft

Oh, that is absolutely delightful!

Thank you for indulging my curiosity ^_^

Anyone else get reeeaaaallllly close to finishing an embroidery project and just...can't complete it?

Like, once I do these last bits, then that's it and there is some strange fear attached to it?

No? Just me?

#now I need more WWDITS #at least now I have the OS in my head now instead of the Wenis song >.< #I feel like that piece deserves a swankier frame with guilding and fancy carvings because it POPS! #crossstitch

A question for the potential giveaway winner...

Reblog if you voted!!!

I currently have a giveaway active until October 1st or when the goal is met. The prize is a twin size quilt, handquilted by me. It will take two to three months for me to make, start to finish, and valued at around $2000 USD.

[disgruntled-lifeform]

Nvm I am still short on warp and need to go back to the store >.<

Ffs

Alright gang, it's warping time!

Oh hey, Acton Creative, I think I've seen some of their videos before!

Thank you ^_^

Is it possible to draft a weaving project based entirely on the amount of weft yarn you have?

I have some gorgeous handspun that you all may recall me spinning a while back

I have approximately 318.12 m and would love to make something more meaningful than a scarf.

I also have this Holst wool yarn 861m of it for warp

Anyone have an idea of how big I can dream on this budget of supplies?

It is just such a magical spin that I want to give it the spotlight
