Alex Wild got me interested in attaphila fungicola with this first super cute photo of the myrmecophilous roaches that live with leaf cutter (fungi farming) ants.
I think their habit of harmlessly hitching rides on ants could inspire a line of adorable felt pillboxes. Can you see it?

Another project started at the SCA A&S meetup
I did all the cutting and basting on this pillbox hat, currently in progress. This is linen cutoff from a hemmed hot-weather/short tunic. Backstitched all the seams with linen threads pulled from the same cutoff material (a first time for me) and am currently rolling the hems with a whip stitch in red silk thread. This is the most buttery smooth thread I have ever experienced
Tried my first cord couching with some blue superwash merino wool. It started as seen in the left pic and as I got the hang of it the stitches became more uniform. I went tighter on the side to see how it looks (right pic).
I think it's pretty neat and a good base for more work later. I'm working my skill level up to try/learn embroidery.

Here’s a much better edit of the pillbox hat that I made.
I patterned, drafted, made mock-ups, felted the flowers, and handmade the whole thing from scratch.
This hat would be great for a film noir scene, or walking into Nick Valentine’s office looking for help with a murder mystery.
