dyed the fabric myself - and as i was stitching i realize that i did not go big enough... so had to shift the canvas over and free hand the lettering. Still - absolute blast and may use the base to stitch out some other ships later on

Party Pirate Panda

A cheeky wee panda at a fancy dress party! This cross stitch was a present for my brother 😃 It started life as a kit, but I tweaked it as my brother loves pirates! Arrrr!

[how-did-i-get-to-here]

okay y'all, i've never actually done something like this but i decided on a whim the other day to start a sewing project, and i'm gonna do my best to document it here just for my own enjoyment lol!

the goal is basically to take this jacket (pictured below) that I bought on amazon for a kotlc halloween costume a few years ago and spruce it up a bit

the current plans are to:

reinforce the bottom edge of the skirt part so it has a little more structure

replace the buttons with ones that a) look nicer and b) are more durable (right now they're plastic and also have this crown/crest design that almost feels like it belongs on a flag or something??? idk I just don't like them very much and wanna have different ones)

maybe do some embroidery on the bottom edge of the skirt (and potentially other areas as well)??? i haven't fully decided yet but leaning towards yes if I can manage to teach myself embroidery before my interest in this project disappears lol

(i might also do something with the zipper pull, i can't really decide if i fully like it as is but that's a thing for future me to worry about haha)

but yeah i think the vision is mostly just fun jacket with vaguely steampunk-space-pirate vibes (à la the mechs lol) so we'll see what happens!

Kinda did a punchlist for my cleaning tasks today! Getting ready for the holiday season, at least a little. 

I now have a bin of “craft stuff that needs completing” and some of it is easy to do, so this morning I made and hung a fabric holiday wreath, which came as a printed sheet of fabric with the instructions on it (I like to keep the instructions so I sewed them to the back of the ribbon hanging from the wreath). I was able to stuff it because I went into storage and got out both the big bag of stuffing and also my eldritch fake Christmas tree. I was thinking of trimming it, but I’m traveling and would rather trim it when I get back in case the cats get Ideas. 

I also sewed a few masks that were waiting to be completed (not pictured), and then I managed to find the fusible fabric backing at the same time I found the stuff that needed fusing, a miracle in itself, so I trimmed and “backed” all the smaller cross-stitches that I had done, which will go onto something as patches at some point. All four of the ones you see were from patterns designed by @shitpostsampler (the Mickey ears was my own design -- from before Disney was being quite such a massive dickhead -- and I condensed the Cheese Is Hubris pattern, but both used a base design from shitpostsampler). They have a lovely shop full of patterns and kits here! 

While I worked I listened to “How Charlie Trotter Made Chicago A Culinary Capital” by Citycast Chicago; I did NOT care for the remarks made by the filmmaker being interviewed, and I think her description of his behavior indicates why Chicago’s culinary scene is so deeply, profoundly toxic. Also listened to The Indicator’s “Crypto and GDP Quiz” (missable) and “The Origins of Russian’s Drones” by The Journal, which was both depressing and unsurprising. Shocker: most of their drone components originate in countries sanctioning them. 

[ID: Three images; top left, a photograph of my front door, a heavy-looking grey door with a peephole; hung on the door with a strip of dark thread is a fabric wreath showing small woodland creatures on a green and red background, with a large red fabric “ribbon” hanging from it. Top right, a Christmas tree, designed to look like a birch branch with lightbulbs on the ends, actually looks more like some kind of tentacle monster; it is not yet trimmed, but has hooks glued to it for later trimming. Bottom image, four small cross-stitch designs; they read “There’s no being sorry under late capitalism” with an image of Mickey Mouse ears, “All Cheese Is Hubris” with a pattern of babybel cheeses, “Sin Bin”, and “Cursed Object.”]

Back side view of the project so far. I love seeing the messy, scraggly backs of embroidery and cross stitch pieces.

2022 cross-stitch piece that was a gift for a very dear friend of mine. This is their OC Penn, a fox pirate that they played for several years in our Legend TTRPG campaign. I hired a pixel artist from Fiverr to make the pattern.

This was my first piece that ever covered the entire surface and had no blank space… it was 15,481 pixels plus backstitching. 54 colors of floss. Definitely the most ambitious piece I’d done at that point! Possibly still the most ambitious to this day, idk. Definitely took a while to complete, something like four or five months I think? I’m definitely pretty proud of it.

I keep staying up way too late and now I’m thinking about Seril my little curse of strahd gunslinger and how I need to talk about her more on here because I want to talk about her so bad

Here's my new project--a love letter to one of my favorite characters of The Constellation Trilogy, Astra Delacroix! I saw LittleStitcherShop's Grace O'Malley cross stitch pattern on Etsy, and I just couldn't get the thought of Astra as a pirate out of my mind. So, with a few color changes to the pattern and some self-charted fonts, here she is! The phrase, "Astra Delacroix is no delicate flower, however much time she spends in her garden," is from Sailing by Carina's Star, Book 2 of the series, which is out now. If you want to know more about who says it and why, here's your reminder to pick it up! :)

Happy (early) Birthday, Katie!
