Holey
Ok, I have a sweater with holes (one I bought in 2021 and wore constantly and while wrangling knife-tipped kittens, so I'm much less salty about the holes in this one than about the disintegration of the last one), and a stack of delightfully bright embroidery floss. Which means I'll [...]
Variations 5
I mean I *did* warn you that I took the shiny new paper and folded through the whole damn book. Which sure, I don't expect anyone *else* to do, but it was actually exactly what I most wanted to be doing while I did it, so I can't really bring [...]
Shoddy, part 3
Last round of Q&A about the Madewell sweater that was covered in pills after one wear (see posts from the previous two days for more details if you're just now wandering by). As before, you can see me flop the sweater around on instagram should you have such a desire. [...]
Variations 4
So I *strongly* suspect that you folks are largely responsible for the current difficulties in finding the fancy paper you need for these. And while I did not expect to ever have 'caused a run on weird paper' on my list of life achievements, it's not the worst thing a [...]
Shoddy, part 2
I'm fixing the Madewell sweater that was absolutely covered in pills the very first time I wore it (see yesterday's post), & responding to some things that came up in comments on the instagram post. After a solid hour going over the sweater with my Gleener I got a pile [...]
Variations 3

Shoddy
This is what happened to my Madewell sweater after I wore it ONCE. One single wear and it's so covered in pills that it looks like trash (you can see it in a video over on instagram if you want to watch me flop it around while describing its faults). [...]
Variations 2
Am I going to go through these in rainbow order because the whole point of this exercise is to soothe my soul (and play with pretty paper) and rainbows are soothing? Yup, yup I am. Did I have the forethought to fold through the stars in the book in rainbow [...]
Variations 1
Remember how I said I found paper in other colors? And how I said one of my favorite things about the stars is how much they change if you make even the tiniest little changes to how you fold the pieces and put them together? And how I said folding [...]
Spiffy
Remember how I said I was excited to have found the spiffy paper you need for these in some more delicate colors? Yeeeeeeeah, well the natural thing to do after finding that was to go ahead and fold through the whole star book (with some variations because we all know [...]
