I’m turning you all into marketable plushies, you watch (Patreon)

Bonus eyes because embroidery brain:

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #Max Vyer #Dexter Favin #ZEX #Original #Cure #Bar #Caleb Stern #Brain has turned to plush mush lol #Tsumtsums really feel like the correct outcome here for those two hehe ♪#I actually went about looking over my like - one and a half Tsumtsums to get a grasp on their construction #Y'know for funsies just to see just to be curious #I think they wouldn't be all that hard to make - something to consider anyhow #I was also thinking about the Tsumtsum sneezing thing lol - many Max all flopping around a Dex! Or many Dex overwhelming a Max haha #Still on the ZEX plush brainrot of course of course he's just so cute ;;#Thinking a lot about construction of his eye :0 I see the appeal of printed fabric so you don't have to contend with large embroidery #Or seams - especially on circles hgwegh not my favourite #Just want it to be flush and flat! Eye-shaped rather than any bulges hmmm how to how to #I'll figure it out - there's ways to make recessed edges in plushies too! Just a matter of how #Few originals to throw into the mix ♪ Cure's already a plush bear! Specifically with the plush pattern I have on hand #I personally don't care much for the pinch style of sewing on features but I feel like at least for her ear inlays that'd probably work best #For the ''meaty'' part of her ears maybe that could be full and proper lol #Barrr <3 Just now realizing how off-model I drew him lol but either way! Huggable! ♥ I've looked- ball-jointed plushies are Kind of a thing?#Even if it was just by shape tho it'd be awfully cute :) And to dress him up in a tiny jacket hehe #More of the Helix lads! Bit cleaner now that I know a bit closer what I'm aiming for hwah they're so cute ;;#I do think it'd be really fun for them to have different eye shines based on their personalities :D #It wouldn't be all that much more work - maybe a lack of practice on specific shapes but apart from that #And rounding out with a short joke lol Caleb's the shortest! It's only right that he'd be a smaller plush! Obviously! Lol

We are just gonna my little cloudy spot off the dash 💜. Meanwhile I'm going to say...damn I wish I got more interested in sewing. Watching people on youtube create cosplays and I'm just 🤩🤩🤩, they are all SO talented. I made one plushie ( Wheatley from P.ortal ) YEARS ago, and told myself that was it. 😂

#&&. watching MissTwisted right now and gooooosh #&&. I wish I had the patience for sewing and had the space to do it #&&. I def don't have the fashion know how too LOL #&&. drawing / learning to animate already takes up most of my attention #&&. the author speaks ( ooc )

a great way to combat genAI in the future would be educating kids (and teens and college students and all ppl) on art way more.

#i had art classes growing up but i know a lot of ppl didn't and even less kids get art classes nowadays #we need all kinds of art classes too! music and history and painting and woodshop and drawing and life drawing #i think art history is especially important bc it connects us to our past and shows why art is so important #and all kinds of art classes help kids develop different important skills #like fine motor skills and critical thinking and making choices and noticing details and how to really SEE things rather than just looking #and a lot of art skills like woodworking and ceramics and sewing are all very practical basic adult skills that we should all get to learn #there's reasons arts and crafts and other skill based electives are the first to go and its not just bc they're undervalued #its cause a population that feels capable and confident and skilled and knows how to think critically #is harder to make work shitty jobs for shitty pay #harder to control!#same reason they're banning so many books and trying to make education worse #damn maybe i should learn how to teach better #im already planning to at least try doing a workshop for adults but maybe if i end up liking that #i could work towards being able to teach kids #i feel like teaching kids would be harder cause idk what concepts they do or dont know at whatever age they are #id have to do research and maybe talk to someone who has experience teaching art to kids #but even a simple art class would be beneficial i think #like going outside to draw things in nature maybe #or portrait drawing #or a class on how to make comics or animate on paper to impress their friends lol #i would've loved that!#id have to do that with the help of another teacher maybe #idk #vague future plans #anyway the reason education would help combat ai is cause ppl would learn abt what goes onto making art #all the choices and skills and thought #and they'd be able to more easily see the difference btwn real art and ai images and understand why making art is important

I started a "big" drawing of them, but didn't wanna get too into it, so here are some small Hussar Martian :)

#*both drawings this and the wip are hussar au #i just didnt wanna get into something too deeply late on a weeknight #so you know!! draw chibis so i can draw still but not be very tireless #definition of my art: burning the midnight oil fr #things i find funny:#both this and the wip are referenced from pics from various rbr car launches #so i guess those are pretty important pics to me 🤭🤭#and then the other is that both of their hair styles are inspired by malaysia 2010(beloved)#anyways could you imagine seb on the battlefield??? seb on horseback??????#that is why Mark is perpetually tired. he is so DONE with restraining seb from galloping in battle #i have to do more research on the and layout structure of power in this au so take this lightly but #i imagine theyre the two commanders of a battalion 🥰#and mark was already there and then seb got promoted into being his co-leader #and seb effortlessly sways all their men into being wrapped around his finger and mark is so salty #seb: can we please go on another reconnaissance mission 🥺🥺#mark: no. i do not want you getting shot at again. repairing your uniform is so bothersome! and you need to learn how to sew!!!#seb: but Kate's Dirty Sister(horse)(imagine that name in German instead) is so fast and quiet!! mark: no.#BUT GAAAAHAHHH YKNOW??? theyre brought together thru triumph and trauma just like in f1!!!!!! theyre teammates sob sob sob #hussar au will always be special to me. one may say fav child. just bcs its the first one i researched deeply #f1 #formula 1 #sebastian vettel #mark webber #sebmark #martian #f1 fanart #formula 1 fanart #catie.art.#hussar au

Every bookbinding tutorial i found online: "DO NOT TRY THE COPTIC STITCH AS A BEGINNER ITS TOO ADVANCED"

Me who has only bound one book before and used a completely different method: "ehh it can't be that hard"

2 hours later

.....I was right. Its not that hard.

#its technically slightly wrong cuz i dont have signatures #im just doing one folded piece of paper at a time #which does take longer #but i was expecting that #doing actual signatures would have a. been way too thick cuz im using watercolor paper and getting them to lay flat wouldve been annoying #and also i wouldve had to pay a lot more attention to how the pages were actually laid out #and this project was already kinda overwhelming without that added in #im also combining methods a bit cuz im also gonna glue the spine with wood glue for extra support #and i also dont want the stitching to be visible #every tutorial was also like ''coptic stitch is great for exposed stitching!!!'' like cool story. not why im using it. gonna cover that shit #also finding one that wasnt in video form AND actually showed everything i needed to know was completely impossible apparently #i needed to know how to attach a fresh string when i run out cuz i always struggle with that in any sewing project #and generally need a refresher each time #and all the written ones were just like ''just make sure your string is long enough before hand!!! but not so much that it becomes #tangled!!!'' bitch im making a much thicker book than you. i cannot just use ONE string. it b #absolutely WILL become tangled if i make it long enough to finish the binding in one go.#yall are WEAK #my book is 3 times thicker than yours #i need to know how to attach a fresh string #the video tutorials cover that but i had to fast forward through most of it #im running out of steam for tonight (hence why im here and not working on it) so ill be finishing this tomorrow #was hoping to get this part done over the weekend but i ended up not getting a lot of the writing done on friday as i intended #cuz i ended up having to play tech support for my friend so she could update her sims mods

Wanna make a testament cosplay....

#i have a sewing magazine that had an issue dedicated to waistcoats so i've already found a great one for that i have anothet pattern for #a miniskirt which should also be doable if i just...... elongate it...#i should look into how it wants me to do the insides.... bc i don't know what they want from me with that #but a lot of their extra stuff like their undershirt cravat #hat gloves belts and side cape thingys are going to be the hars one #i'm not making the hat for one i'm ordering that i will probably make the skull on it myself #their side capes are probably jus tloose fabric attatched #i forgot another hard thing is going to find those special clasp things around their skirt and capes #wtf even are those #i'll probably just leave them for most of them but for the capes i might use silver buttons but idk #i'll just leave them at first #i'll just order the gloves probably too #sigh this is so hard #personal theo tag

Would people like it if I documented my steps for creating a Kuro (Dungeon Meshi) cosplay?

#fun fact: it started with me going “would it be possible to use a puppy play mask as a base for the head?”#the answer is “absolutely no”#just learn how build a fursuit head; it’ll probably be cheaper too #since all the good looking pet play masks cost a fucking arm #dungeon meshi #kuro dunmeshi #cosplay #fursuit partial #my main concern will be to try and avoid using faux-fur as much as possible since I heat up easily #obviously there’s no way to avoid it for the head and neck #I’m entertaining ideas for the shoulders and upper arms though #I already did a test run for the feet by sewing and stuffing paw pads on a disposable sock #not perfect by any means #but now I know what to look out for; once the actual cosplay pair arrive

#pond.txt #soft blocked my roommate and FORMER best friend and his gf. like i won't vague where they can see it. i won't lose my cool with them in the #house. i will be cheery and polite. i will never fucking let them know why i suddenly cut ties. i will get through this year and i will move #to california and i will never ever ever have to see these people again.#it's fine it's whatever i'm getting my money i'm making progress healing my arm my career is on a continued upswing i'm enjoying dnd i'm #going to learn how to sew i'm getting back into therapy i'm already reaching out to people in my new town and making new friends like #bitch actually i'm going through one of the hardest times of my life rn and i am still thriving. literally reconnecting with my family too #got an APOLOGY from my FATHER people wait their whole lives for that. sorry but if the issue is that i know i deserve your respect and your #empathy now like. that's not changing and if you can't give that you're not getting any of my time energy or effort #and you can paint me as the villain if you want but the situation is more complicated than that #i'm not perfect but the difference between us is that at least i can own that about myself and continue to grow

Probably not gonna post anything for supercorptober for the next few days cause I really need to focus on sewing my Halloween costume. I think I'll still try to catch up on what I've missed afterwards 🌞

#im trying to sew kaarija's bolero #based on vibes alone #cause i a) don't actually know how to sew #and b) definitely dont know how to draft a pattern #im relying 100% on homosexual audacity #it worked last year so it should work this year 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️#i also have to alter the pants ive bought significantly #cause they are mens pants and i dont have man shaped thighs #ive stabbed myself with pins about 1000 times already putting the pants pieces back together #this is far too much context for why i wont be drawing for a bit #so if you made it this far i love u 😘

me, full of ongoing scrupulosity abt microplastics and also a vague sense that it would be good for me to take another crack at incorporating running into my life for 'holy shit i desperately need endorphins' reasons, scouring the shorts market for anything natural-fiber but also functionally/aesthetically fit for purpose and coming up almost* entirely blank: what if i bought another one of the merino-tencel tanks whose fabric i'm in love with (or‚ you know‚ sourced similar fabric somewhere that wasn't already a different garment‚ but like‚ that would involve learning things about 'where to get specialty fabric' in addition to the 'how to sew it' part) and turned it into running shorts? surely it couldn't be that hard??

⸻ * in fairness, icebreaker does make some that tbh are probably ideal except for cost but like. do i want to go running in basketball shorts? not really. and the tiny (women's) version only comes in black which is so dreary. i keep hoping they'll come out with some other colors but so far no dice! also an extremely crunchy-granola company makes some weird little gym shorts in a hemp knit which. i'm sorry, i grew up in manhattan and i'm dubious! they might be great but! 🧐

#yes it absolutely could #i mean there IS a sewing machine kicking around downstairs somewhere and i think according to Baby Sister it even works #so in theory i could re-teach myself how to use it #and also in theory a tiny pair of drawstring shorts shouldn't be *that* hard‚ i feel like??#(they say‚ totally naively)#i definitely don't really understand how you deal with curves. like i know sometimes you cut little notches into them but. when. why.#anyway i think actually normal running shorts are woven fabric and the tanks i'm obsessed with are knit so.#WOULD probs have to source different fabric.#this is too many humps to get over so realistically it's not going to happen #and frankly given that i already own nylon shorts it's like. what's the plan for those #like even if i did make tencel/merino ones to replace them… the other ones still exist #i guess if they just sat in a box under my bed forever they at least wouldn't be producing microplastics???? (is that even true really?)#like with most stuff that's environmentally bad it's still better to keep using it than to replace it before time #but like. if it's washing that creates the microplastics and otherwise they're just a relatively inert pile of plastic in my closet…#maybe it IS actually better to like. file them away until society works out Plastic Disposal decades from now??#idk. also this is all SO sad to me bc brightly-colored gorpcore would otherwise be my EXACT aesthetic #i was a patagonia baggies kid and i would happily be a patagonia baggies adult but. sigh!!#honestly this entire problem is too big for me #i have just enough brain to be making myself crazy abt it but not enough brain to know how to tackle it #and honestly the solution probs isn't really individual anyway #it'll be like. scientists working out microplastics filtration and safe degradation #and textile people developing better textiles going forward #anyway. sometimes you stay up too late and yr brain starts spinning in ways that feel exciting and productive but. aren't.

not to bnha on main but I'm thinking about fuyumi

#i havent seen all of s..6? we're on s6 right? whatever #nor have i read the manga #but i know enough spoilers to be in LOVE with my girl #and i have a fic rattling around in my brain that i dont have enough context for #so spoilers bnha manga if u care abt that #but learning that fuyumi and touya are twins Changed Me because its about the FUCKING SIBLING TRAUMA (2.0)#its about twin's quirks being switched in the womb its about being born next to your best friend and your worst enemy #its about fuyumi wanting her family to be functional instead of the fucking dumpster fire it is #because she already lost touya she cant lose natsuo and shouto too #endeavors like 'trying his best' or whatever but i dont think she.. cares all that much about him.#her being cordial is like glacial politeness. the casual wielding of words.#plus she has such an interesting character set up???#her twin brother is being brutally trained and shes a child and cannot do anything about it #her mother takes her under her wing and tries to teach her the unspoken rules of women in this household #fuyumi hears her twin soul scream bloody murder and cannot lift a finger. she must learn how to sew #then her next brother is born and she thinks of all the ways she cant protect him. but his quirk appears.. similar to hers #shes so desperately relieved. her twin receives new scars every day.#shouto is born. her and her mother stare at each other silently in the home because they know what this will mean.#fuyumi is 12 years old when her mother is sent away. her baby brother throws up because of her father pushing him too hard #fuyumi is now the woman of the house. she is 12. she is a child #touya is gone. hes dead. her twin brother died (because of her father. they all knew touyas weakness)#fuyumi is the eldest. she has to be the glue sticking them together. she makes meals for her scarred brothers.#she is silent. she is scorned for her lack of anger.#who has space for anger when you must become a mother at 12?#fuyumi is an incredible character and if the writer (horikoshi?) wasnt so SHIT at writng female character arcs maybe he would have realized #😭😭😭#ollie rambles #me being true to my tag #FUCK i love fuyumi #sibling relationships always take me tf out but these tragic ones are perfect

fine. begrudgingly accepting that I'm gonna need a day with higher luck if I'm ever gonna get to floor 100 of the skull caverns legitimately. sigh. I'll just have to actually be a farmer till then. :(

#yeah unbelievable I'm not a fan of farming in THE farming game #it takes too darn long and there's not enough time in the day to do much outside of it...i refuse to get an auto-pettter for animals.#maybe outside of that tho I should spend some time optimising my farm....i really shouldn't be using 3 mayonnaise machines still.#while having a full coop. same with the cheese machines and the sewing wheels #Maybe I should actually put sprinklers in my greenhouse actually. idk how tho cause everythings already put down in line formation....#aughhh #and I KNOW I can just make 99 stairs and go down that way but I actually wanna yknow. play the game. it's supposed to be a challenge yknow #even tho it's an option that's there it feels like cheating a lil bit. for me #Stardew Valley #Android.txt

Oh my, that sweater is PHENOMENAL. What a beautiful pattern--LACE WEIGHT YARN!? You've gotta be--WOW.

What a wonderful thing to inherit! Not to mention all those lovely books! Good luck with the project, it's so amazing you will be working to finish what was started!

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."

So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.

And also...

My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.

It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.

So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!

And I really am feeling very good about doing it.

#crafts #knit #i love it that people are sharing their similar stories on this post like #hey my followers definitely go in the notes on this one #i'm already impressed 'cause i don't know how to sew sweater parts together #((i make sweaters in the round top-down with stitches picked up for the sleeves in the round too so i don't have to sew X.x))
