Some WIP stuff. First image making the sliding rails. I think it’ll be too bulky with two doors as I’d have to add so much to the depth, so I’m considering only one. But. Aesthetics vs practicality vs what feels right xp

The other images is wall making and shelves. The foamboards are nice to work with, buuuuut can’t handle clamping well without structural integrity going byebyyyyyye xp So, string it was.

It’s moving forward~ those shelves need doors, though, and I need to seriously get a start on the clutter.

Oh noes! Tobirama’s office has been invaded by a Giant Cat!

#oh noes, #cat, #it sits, #miniature, #and, #giant, #grumpy old kitten settled down on the futon and the fluff x'D

Quilt and pillow need to be smaller, probably sadly no reversible quilt for better shaping, and the corners of the futon need its stitches, but otherwise? Acceptable :3

Yessssss~ it does look more like a miniature thing with the small pattern print, rather than just tiny sewn thing :3

Yes, that seems nicely tiny. Looking forward to working on the proper textiles.

(Source to spoonflower in post source, for those who want to buy their own fabric for tiny reasons, a fat quarter has all four on it :3)

Seems like it will function decently :3 a few more adjustments to the sliding ones to make them catch less.

Futon mockup in preparation for the proper fabric. Went by this YouTube video, and had to run the corner stitch and knots at .25 speed five times before understanding what even what x'3 when I finally understood what to do and how it shaped the corner, I was instantly fond of it. Shall need to use in other circumstances too.

The cotton I got, I realised was made into rip-off sections I shall need to avoid for this use <.<

The size differences make the material behaviours so so different. Getting both plushiness and roll-up ability might be a challenge.

I think I want it wider, too. The proportions doesn’t seem quite harmonious.

I long to see if the fabric will have tiny enough pattern it’ll look miniature rather than chunky small thing made big big materials.

Sometimes little adjustments must be put in place to make things fit better, or be sturdier.

Spent almost 3h adjusting for the measure mistake on the fusuma *groans* but it’s done, and what is patience, let’s glue the still ones where they go, and worry about the two sliding ones later~

I needed a set of Japanese inspired patterns for a miniature project, and awaiting the actual fabric from spoonflower to show up, I made them available in my redbubble shop :3 Can I have them all? :’3

The first three patterns are based on old Japanese pattern styles (source)
Tachiwaki / Tatewaki (Rising Steam)
Karakusa (Winding Plant)
Seigaiha (Blue Ocean Waves)

The last is more inspired by a mix of the traditional ocean wave, and Hokusai’s famous wave art.

….yes. Yes I sat down and designed fabric patterns and have now placed the order for them to be printed, and hopefully they will work well as fabric for the zabuton and futon.

I like them a lot on so many of the products, but I do not need more mugs :’3

Sometimes you just wanna sit down and cry in frustration. Somewhere along there were construction math thinking errors.

Why, oh why does espresso house have such excellent wooden coffee stirrers? The barista just stared at me oddly and muttered about wholesale when I asked where they buy them or what brand.

I can’t go around taking an extra handful stirrers every time I visit them. Or, considering their expensiveness, go get a coffee just to get a few coffee stirrers extra on complete accident. That’s very expensive wood x’D

Ah. The sane life of crafters.
