The Outer Wilds solar system: complete! It was a true labor of love and I'm so proud of how it turned out 🌌🌠

Video here!

Pattern: my own! Almost everything is some form of flat crochet circle, however, plus some embroidery details. Dark Bramble is partly tapestry crochet, and the quantum moon is movable as it's on a button! :D

Yarns: there are many so there's a list below!

Background - Malabrigo Dos Tierras in 'Paris Night' (yes all of it! The border is a different colourway! Looks intentional, right? :P)

Timber Hearth - Life In The Long Grass Twist DK in 'Moorlands' (thank you Northern Yarn)

Attlerock - Woollen Wytch SW Merino DK in 'Overcast' (thank you Woollen Wytch and Alterknit Universe)

The Quantum Moon yarn was held with silver thread and it has a clear button on the back (thank you Hester's Haberdashery)

So after a year of work I finished a crow costume I've been working on. I'm not the best at showcasing things (at least I think so), but here's some images of the I did! Ignore the weird blurs in the first image - I thought it best to remove people from the image, privacy and all that.

　

This was all don't over the course of a year. I was so glad that a lot of people seemed to like it - it was so good having feedback face-to-face with other crafters

I actually got asked about a commission from one of the leather workers at the renaissance faire for the wings. I haven't decided, as it's a massive project, even for the price we discussed. The good thing about this is that she understands how that kind of world works, and has been very understanding when I told her about my illness and that I have times where I can't do much of anything for weeks or so. I've never done a commission, and unsure exactly what to do. But, that's another thought for another day. She gave me her email address and told me to email her if I decide to.

I hope y'all enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed wearing it!

Here are a few pics I took back in February of the colorful look I wore for Valentine's. 🌈🩷 I made the dress myself using a vintage pattern and vintage-inspired print fabric from Spoonflower. 🌼

The pattern itself was a nice and straightforward sew, so if you're into casual '60s styles I definitely recommend it! It's the perfect simple a-line style for showcasing a fun graphic fabric print and with the addition of oversized pockets and a chunky metal o-ring zipper down the front you can get a pretty authentic mid-late '60s look without much effort!

My version of the dress deviates slightly from the pattern as I opted to make single welt pockets rather than large patch pockets. This design choice was mainly out of necessity as I was short on fabric yardage and didn't have enough for much else aside from the main body of the dress. Luckily I was able to utilize the generous plain white selvage edges that were provided on the fabric to create the pocket welts and contrasting stand collar.

I'm currently in the process of putting together a good old fashioned BLOG (what a throwback, right?) where I'll get more into technical detail about my sewing projects, including this one. So if that's something you're interested in watch this space for updates! I'm hoping to have it launched by the summer. 🤞😊

it’s done! already removed from the backing fabric and blocked (ish), and now i just have to decide where to put it. i was planning on hanging it on the outside of my door, but i’m honestly too worried about some idiot stealing it (yay college dorms)

[fancytrasharcade]

I think he's done?? :0

Here, go put your clothes on

"You like my 'fit? Thanks! It has pockets ;) "

It's hard to get good pictures of him because he's so lorge!

Red & black Plaid with Lacey Burplap Bow on a headband, $3 (plus shipping) in my Ko-fi shop

Seriously, I just want to make ridiculously large bows (or ridiculously small ones)

There's a little extra room in the cups, but overall, I think I nailed it.

The trick to sizing up the bottoms is to add all the extra inches you need on the back. Just make the front according to pattern and subtract that from your hip measurement. Then, add however many extra inches you need to fit the back, and figure out a good increase layout and off you go!

You'll need size #3 thread (I used WeCrochet Curio) and a 3.25mm hook. Pattern is here (or you can message me).

Also, enjoy this very low effort very pin up shot:

Y'all

I made a little WIP travel bag using up the remainder of my bi pride yarn. I wanted a small container for a granny square project I can easily keep at hand so I can crochet instead of staring at my phone when I get bored out in the world.

The stitch is a weirdo double-crochet variant: Instead of inserting the hook into the top of the next stitch, the hook is inserted into the bottom half of the dc and worked normally thereafter. It produces a dense knit-esque result.

Cat tax because Polaris couldn't bear to not be the center of attention.

eeek so… I’m wearing the new Children’s ministry logo…

There was so much I got to learn about digital art and it’s little antics. Learning about art getting printed… I’m so blessed and honoured with it all.

I hope God will continue to open doors for me as I do art for Him. I hope more than anything that my motives are to give Him the glory… it isn’t about me at all, I’m am but a vessel. May He be glorified in it all.

This silly idea turned out SO CUTE it's worth the fluff that now covers every inch of my bedroom floor :D

usual catalogue post to follow ^v^

Update: Pattern now live!

Braided Ear Warmer

I used a pattern I found online (linked below!) with a similar theme for reference, but modified to match the yarn I had:

Row 1: 60 foundation half-double crochet (fhdc)

Row 2: 60 half-double crochet (hdc)

Repeated x4 to make four strands.

The next steps more-or-less followed the pattern, with 2 rows single crochet (12 sc/row, 3 per strand) to connect the strands at one end.

Then, braided together; connected with single crochets on the other end; and whip stitched the two ends together.

The yarn I used:

(Size 5 - super bulky - with 8mm hook)

Last Spring, I transformed several yards of '60s fluorescent floral cotton chiffon into this frilly babydoll dream dress, heavily inspired by Barbie's Flower Wower look from 1970. 🌼🩷

I say "inspired" because I didn't exactly set out to make a replica of the Flower Wower dress, I just wanted to create something that embodied the spirit of Barbie from that era. I used vintage Butterick 5736 from 1969 as my design base and then made a few alterations to fit my vision for the final look. These alterations including making the long sleeves bell-shaped, adding rows of shirring to the upper arm, scooping the neckline (the original pattern has a very high neck), and creating a detachable fabric rosette for the empire waistline. 🧵🎀

Final Photographs of Deconstruction Garment Project:

The final photographs from the photoshoot we did.I am happy with the outcome and I learned a lot about how garments look in professional lighting and camera.I am very proud of myself as I had never made anything like this before and I think I did very well for my first project.I really like how I styled my piece and I think the hair and makeup photographed well.I would’ve liked for the fit of the top to be better as it slightly stickers out in the front and I would’ve liked it to lie flat.Overall I really enjoyed the process from going from sketches to mannequin to final garment and I am happy with how it came together.

This is a skirt I finished weeks ago. I've been working on this piece for a few months. It first started as a tube top. I love how it ended up.
