#craft asks

[spotsandsocks]

your knitting is so cool! i love the best i can do is an unfinished square with a couple of holes in them 🙈

😊😊 thank you! You’re very kind. It’s a tricky business knitting - kinda like magic if you think about it! Turing wool into things. You should see my felted things! They’re much better 😆

I’m sure your squares are lovely even with holes and maybe the holes could be useful sometimes- maybe a little poncho for a 🐭

😊

For the crafty asks 💖🍓💌 :)

💖 Which one of your creations are you the proudest? Show off!

My wedding dress. It's not very good, looking back with a lot more experience in garment construction (I hadn't discovered shoulder slope or alterations for the short waisted yet), but I'm still proud of it. I made it out of a gold silk/cotton blend because white makes me look tubercular. Also the fabric was washable. 

This is the top of it. I don't have a very good picture of me standing in it where it isn't sort of wrinkled from the car ride over.

🍓Do you have a dream project? What would you craft if you had infinite time and money?

An entire wardrobe for specific eras - one for the 1920s, one for the early 1930s, one for the mid-1930s, and one for the late 1930s (specifically 1939, one of my favorite fashion years). Everything would be done in cotton, silk, linen, or wool, likely self-drafted because why not?

This would include knitwear because in this fantasy I have finally learned to knit properly. 

If I could ever wear corsetry, I might dip a toe into the late 19-teens. Those fashions were adorably bonkers. 

💌 Do you know other bloggers who inspire you to create? Recommended a few!

My betrotheds mom is big in the SCA and does tons of hand sewing and period accurate clothes, she’s got several custom made outfits and enters competitions with her special projects.

One of them she meticulously researched and created a custom glove. I have no idea how much work goes into such a thing other than A Lot but whenever she tells us stories about these competitions she’s always slighted in favor of flashier offerings.

Her most recent endeavor was some kind of stiff collar. I’m not going to embarrass myself pretending to know the specifics but the original ones back in the day used layers of fabric and whale baleen to get a nice strong silhouette. She researched the crap out of it and wrote up a report to go along with the item.

At the judging one of the judges commented, “Well, it’s alright, but it’s so disappointing that it’s not fully authentic, why didn’t you use whale baleen?”

She sputtered out, “Well, if you’d read my report you’d know it’s because it’s illegal!”

💚and 🌈for the craft ask game if you don't mind :)

💚 How long have you been crafting and how did you get started?

I think the correct answer is 'on and off for a really long time'. If we go with crafting in terms of really getting down to doing things properly, over a decade. I got my first sewing machine about then.

I've been cooking and baking since I was about 10, though.

🌈 Do you have certain colours you gravitate towards when creating?

Navy. I'm an incurable navy-lover. Also blue-based reds, burgundy, and most shades of green (just not the acid greens).

YOU UNDERSTAND.

Scar, standing directly in front of the glitter bazooka: cub I can not allow you to use the glitter bazooka. I am looking you in the eyes. You are a danger to yourself and others. I am telling you that you can not use the glitter bazooka. Hand over the glitter bazooka.

Cub, with the glitter bazooka:
