How to prepare an embroidery kit?

Embroidery is a very artistic way to express one’s true creativity. It is a very broad term. It encompasses the use of several techniques, forms, and fabric types. 

One of the major problems that beginners face is the preparation of an embroidery kit. While it is true that certain embroidery techniques require specific tools and materials, they are readily available in online stores or at local embroidery supplies stores. In fact, Czech glass beads, fire polished beads and Amos beads can also be now found online. 

What are some of the essential tools required for your embroidery kit?

A basic embroidery kit will allow you to work with almost any kind of fabric type, design, or stitch pattern. Given below are certain essential tools that you need to prepare your embroidery kit: -

1.      Embroidery Hoop: - These are available in a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. The wooden version is one of the most widely used hoops for embroidery. Make sure to choose a hoop that is appropriate for your project.

2.      Embroidery Needles: - Embroidery needles are sharp and work best for tightly woven fabrics. They have larger eyes and sharper tips and shouldn’t be confused with sewing needles. You can choose to buy a good set of embroidery needles to work with different fabrics.

3.      Canvas or Fabric: - Canvas is available in a variety of materials such as cotton, linen, felt or fleece. The fabric should be tightly woven and suitable for embroidery.

4.      A pair of scissors: - An embroidery kit is incomplete without a sharp pair of scissors. You can choose to invest in embroidery scissors which are small shaped and sharp. This will allow you to cut more accurately.

5.      Thimble: - A thimble prevents injuries caused to your finger by the needlepoint and eye. Embroidery requires detailed handwork therefore securing injuries is inevitable. Therefore, by using a thimble you will be able to protect your fingers from injuries.

6.      Light sources: - You can choose a well-lit area for embroidery, but sometimes certain projects require additional light sources.  Headbands and neck attachments for light are a good choice. You can also choose a crafting light. It is similar to a lamp, but the light source is stronger. It is portable and can be set up on any flat surface.

7.      Floss: -Floss is used to highlight specific areas of your embroidery. They are quite often compared to embroidery threads. The difference can be seen in quantity and its arrangement. Each strand comprises six more threads. Upon unraveling they can then be used as a thread and as floss.

8.      Organizers: - Floss and threads can be difficult to organize. This is why you need holders and organizers. A holder prevents your thread or floss from getting tangled. You can choose to buy a premade holder from your local embroidery supply store or choose to make one from cardboard or foam.

Therefore, with the help of the above-mentioned tools, you will be able to build up a basic embroidery kit and get started on your journey!

Worldbuilding: Just Ribbon You

How do your characters ornament themselves?

For as long as we can reliably trace back, humans have been trying to signal two sometimes contradictory things. First, that they’re part of X group, and thus have a home and allies. Second, that they as individuals are unique.

All kinds of things can be used for those signals. Songs, colors, foods, particular mannerisms or even ways of cursing. Cultures, subcultures; Goths, anime fans, football team tribes. Each have their own methods of declaring, I am a unique member of this group - and you are not.

But let’s stick to ornamentation. Beads, ribbons, embroidery, tiny mirrors; anything and everything that might liven up clothes and give a personal touch.

There are, of course, some groups that make their membership markers as not using any of these. The Amish, for one, are known to make their clothes so they only need two colors of thread: white and black.

Generally speaking, though, if you’re writing about a hero some individuality is called for. What do they wear to stand out? What do they wear to blend in, as whatever group they claim as home?

This can be situational. A special forces operator in the field won’t want to stand out. There might be some unique items in his kit compared to others on his team, and maybe a book or two, but nothing obvious.

On the dancefloor, though... oh, my.

Again, a lot of this will depend on the specific situation as well as the general culture. No one is going to wear a delicate silver spiderweb of a tiara on a foxhunt over hill and dale... unless either they’ve got access to expensive resources to replace it, or they can make it much more sturdy than it looks, or the entire point is to show off how supernaturally skilled a rider they are that they can wear something so delicate and keep it intact.

Showing off is important.

Someone who hasn’t been taught to show off - to know the basics of makeup, good grooming, dressing in fashion, the works - has been seriously neglected.

No, being a lower class peasant does not get you off the hook for this. The poorer the village the more gossip is a full-time sport, especially about what people with power are doing, wearing, and saying. In that same vein, conscientious family members make very sure the children know all the status markers they can learn; either to hopefully move up a step or two socially, or at least to know who not to start trouble with.

(Not that this always works with young guys. But at least they were warned.)

You don’t have to go into excruciating details on the latest fashions in your world. Readers will assume your character is decently dressed for whatever they’re doing, unless you tell them otherwise. But a little detail like embroidery at the collar, or a vivid slant of red across a subtle gray tie, can go a long way toward establishing your characters.

...Especially if they’re the kind who normally wouldn’t be caught dead wearing beads, but right now they’re kitted up so much they glitter. Obviously, something is up. Your readers will want to find out what!

Sewing kit tour! I've got dollar store floss, needles, various bits and baubles some of which I'm saving to trade with friends, spare buttons, pins, thread and embroidery thread, beads, charms, some edging, a lil notebook for notes, safety pins, chains, buckles, can tabs and broken necklaces :) the box isnt finished and I still need a few things (a stitch ripper for example) but i still wanted to share !

[safety-pin-punk]

hey, do you have any advice for people who want to wear and make DIY punk stuff but their parents probably would frown upon it?

asking for me, thanks.

Honestly, first thing would just be to kinda gage their opinions to see how much freedom you’ll have to work with. Even just showing a picture of a more tame battle jacket and being like ‘this looks cool, do you think one day I’ll have the skills to make my own cool jacket?’ Is a good way to indicate that you want to make stuff without saying that you wanna make specifically punk styled things

Another good way to just broach the subject of DIY is asking a parent if they could give you some sewing tips. Most parent aged adults had a sewing class in school and they always seem amazed when I tell them that the extent of my sewing knowledge from public school was how to sew a button. When they ask why you’ve developed an interest in sewing, just say that you think its a vital life skill to have. And I mean, it is! What happens if you are at some important event and your outfit rips?? Having an emergency sewing kit and the skills to use it can save a night

You could also just start with DIY that isn’t necessarily strictly punk, but can be used in punk outfits. Tie dye, bead bracelets, print making, embroidery. All very normal things that are very useful in punk diy

And honestly the more diy you do, the less anyone will question it. One day tie dye, the next week youre sewing a hole in your pants, and then you’ve made a patch!? Eventually you’ve built up a collection of safety pins and you can add those to things too. But yeah, in my experience, the best way to deal with parents who may be iffy on the whole diy thing is to start basic and ask them for tips and suggestions on things. You dont have to listen to them, but when they feel like they have input and their opinions are valued, they become a lot more open to things. And actually, when I started DIY, my dad was the one who taught me how to sew after learning I never was taught how in school

Other’s input is welcome in the notes, but from my experience this is a pretty good method (at least for working/middle class parents that aren’t complete assholes)

Acts of kindness ideas!!

The internet can be such a toxic place sometimes!! I think one way to change that is to spread positivity and inspire others to be kind, so here I'm making a positive corner on the internet where we can share ideas for little acts of kindness we can do for others to brighten up their day 🌞 Please share your own ideas too!!

For friends

Message a friend you haven't spoken/seen in a while and ask them what's up, or that you've been thinking about them!! (you never know what they're going through, they could be going through a rough time, and knowing their friend is thinking about them and wants to know how they're doing could really cheer them up)

Make a DIY project as a gift for a friend, even if there is no special occasion like a birthday coming up! This could be something like making them a necklace or bracelet out of beads, buying a felt kit and making them a little animal, making an embroidery or punch needle design (there are beginners kits online and in stores), make a little statue out of air dry clay or fimo, or just make them a drawing!

If you're going out for a walk, ask a friend if they'd like to join you

Compliment your friends often and/or tell them how much you enjoy spending time with them, some people never receive compliments and it can really make their day

Make a compilation of pictures you've taken together as a slideshow or as a cute video using capcut!! this app has many templates made by others, you can search for something like "friends" and get lots of cute video templates to add your pictures to with music

Send them videos or songs that make you think of them

Invite your friend to play videogames, and board games, or watch a movie/TV show with you

Bake yummy treats for your friends (banana bread is my fave thing to make for others)

Send them cute sparkly GIFs

For family

Honestly, everything I mentioned above you can do with family, but here are some additional things (ofc I know this doesn't apply to everyone since everyone's family situation is different, these are my personal ideas based on my experiences)

If there's a family member you haven't spoken to in a while, ask them for life updates, tell them that you love and appreciate them, and do whatever you think would be best to let them know they are thought of and loved!

Send them cute videos and GIFs, and good morning/goodnight pictures, or call them to say good morning or goodnight, older generations, especially like this

Interview them on their life and family history (if they're comfortable with this, not everyone has a great family), and write these things down and/or record it! Making a little biography on their life and history is good and lets them know you care deeply about them and who they are

Make a family tree together, going as far back as you can, writing as much extended family as you can, and also writing as many details as you can for each family member, it can be really cool! There are websites to do this for free or you can do it on paper

Ask them to watch their favorite movie or TV show together, you might find older movies you really like!

Make a playlist of their favorite songs

Give them compliments on their outfits, their hair, and their looks!!

Offer to help clean and cook

Send them postcards/greeting cards in the mail (or give them one in person) even the cute ones that say something like "thinking of you!" are so cute. A postcard is a good idea to send your family if you are on vacation.

For strangers

This, of course, will vary depending on culture and if the stranger is comfortable with being interacted with!! 

If someone needs change or help buying essentials and you have the resources to help them, offer them help

If you see a homeless person and there is a grocery store or food place nearby, ask them if they need anything or buy them a meal

Compliment strangers, since they don't know you, it makes it more apparent to them that you genuinely mean it since sometimes we can overlook compliments from those we know

If a stranger sneezes around you, say bless you! (when this happens to me it always makes me smile idk)

This one is more for acquaintances, if you frequently see someone outside you occasionally talk to and enjoy their company, you could make them a little craft as a gift!

Say good morning to people (this may not be acceptable in certain cultures where strangers never talk to each other)

If there is someone with a cute dog, you could make someone's day by asking for their dog's name and saying their dog is cute!! It's also a good way to make acquaintances, complimenting someone's dog can lead to further conversation

Offer your seat to others on the bus or train, no matter their age

These are just some ideas...feel free to add on!!

At some point when little Willy Murderface was in elementary school, friendship bracelets made of embroidery floss became really popular. It started with just the girls, but the hype was so big that even the boys got into the fad, of course only using ‘masculine’ colors and not putting on any ‘girly’ beads or charms. It seemed like everybody in his class was making and swapping bracelets all day and some kids had dozens on each wrist. He really wanted to do it, too, to be like the other kids and show them that he was cool just like they were. The problem was that he didn’t know how to braid anything, and he didn’t have any friends to teach him. He couldn’t ask his grandmother; that would be too embarrassing and she probably wouldn’t help anyways. So Willy would stare at the girls who made the best bracelets at recess while they braided, trying to understand the mechanics of what they were doing (and effectively creeping them out). 

Over a weekend, he found some string and practiced and practiced for hours until he finally figured out how to make a braid, or something close enough. Then he raided his grandmother’s dusty sewing kit for thread. He painstakingly made a bracelet for everyone in his class, even trying to use their favorite colors if he knew what they were. 

On Monday he took all the bracelets he’d made to school with him in a paper sack. All morning he felt sick and nervous, but when recess came around, he stayed behind and put a friendship bracelet on each of the other kids’ desks. When the class went back inside, the others were all surprised and started trying to figure out who’d done it. 

It didn’t take long to puzzle out that it was Willy since he’d been weird all day and was the only one late to recess. 

At lunch one of the most popular kids in class was bold enough to walk right up to him while he was eating his tuna sandwich, drop the gift on the table and tell him that they didn’t want a friendship bracelet from him and he hadn’t done a very good job, anyway. It started a wave of returns. A few people gave the bracelet he’d made for them back, a lot just shoved them into his desk, but he saw a few in the trash can. The other kids laughed at him and made comments about how ugly his bracelets were. 

He was so hurt and humiliated that he begged his grandma not to send him to school the next day, even told her that he was sick, but she made him go anyways.

So, I was having a bad hair day, which got me thinking about hair textures and wave patterns. This made me think about my mtlOC, Emie. I always depict her with wavy hair. I got to wondering if it just grows like that. I decided that, yes, she has naturally wavy hair, but that she likes to put her hair in a braid at night just to make it easier to style in the mornings and to help her hair not get crushed flat while she sleeps.That made me think about Murderface. Murderface has that gruff exterior, but we all know he’s clingy underneath. He’d definitely hang around her while she gets ready for bed, watching her braid her hair. I like to imagine that they do a lot of physical care for eath other, lots of intimacy in non-sexual ways. I wondered if he’d ever try to help. This thought got in my head that wouldn’t go away and made me sad so I decided to share the misery. Sorry this isn’t really written in a creative way. If anybody wants to roll with it and take it somewhere, please feel free.
