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
Did I plan on admitting right out in public just how easy it is to delight me by...checks notes...providing me with slightly different colors of highly specialized paper and then leaving me alone with a paper cutter and bone folder for a couple hours? I mean no. But [...]
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 [...]
You made it
You made it! You made it all the way to the end of 2022. I'm proud of you. I'm glad you made it. I hope next year is better. And if you want to spend the last few minutes of the screaming into the void and flailing about? Well, both [...]
Unwieldy
So here's the thing...you *can* do this with any even number of colors. This is six colors (the two previous posts show four colors and two colors). It becomes wildly unwieldy to do it with any more than six, but you can. And I might possibly have spent an entire [...]
Options
Again...I *fully* get that this is, um, let us say a bit of a variation from my usual color vibe. But these are some of the instructional swatches for the spiffy bonus version of the embroidery instructions on the upcoming hat. This is the four color variation (the post [...]
Different vibe
Ok yeah, I think that will work out nicely for the 'how to do the embroidery' part of the next new pattern! I've been having fun working out how I want to do instructional bits, because it's quite different from how I do the actual piece I show in the [...]
