A gift for my husband's mother, woven on a backstrap loom with worsted weight cotton yarn.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

Hey. Do you want elbow patches. Yeah I noticed the elbows of your sweater are worn through, I can fix that for you. I got tapestry yarn, loads of it, all different colours. Price? Depends on what you're offering. Homemade cookies? Yeah, I can work with that. Bring 'em tomorrow, same time, same place. Love you too, man. Love you too.

You reap what you sew.

Never have truer words been spoken. But they come as good news for Tumblr's sewing community, however, who have been sewing some absolute delights. Some real œuvres d'art. Some winner-winner chicken dinners.

As luck would have it, #sewing is trending. And it's trending right now, so we have reaped a selection of these very dinners for your eyes only. We have then asked ourselves just what did we do to deserve y'all, and your resplendent talents.

SWIRLY WONKY VEST

My first knitting project and I think it even came out looking wearable!!!

The knitting pattern I was following loosely

I got something cool from another Etsy shop recently! Which is, the world's tiniest* weaving heddle:

*probably a slight exaggeration

I've wanted to explore weaving lately, but don't have the money or space that you'd need for a tabletop loom. So I knew I wanted a backstrap loom setup, where you stretch your weaving between a distant anchor point (in this case, it's pinned to my lap desk) and like, well... a strap that goes around your back, basically.

(Normally the perfect solution for this is tablet weaving, which is even easier to get the tools for. Unfortunately, it requires MORE BRAIN. So I'm taking the easy route here.)

So my heddle and shuttle are from TheDancingGoats, an Etsy shop that specializes in reproduction ancient tools.

And what do you know... the shop sponsored Long Thread Media on Youtube, who did a whole tutorial on how to use them:
