Does it count if it wasn't my AOL address? & not my waterbed? Cause yeah, I used the rest (& still do for some)

For all you folks #knitting, #crocheting, #sewing, or otherwise #making presents: 1) every hour, get up & stretch (set a timer) 2) when you get to a certain level of tired? Stop. You're going to make mistakes you'll need to fix. 3) be kind to yourself. Give them a promissory note if you have to.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Dec. 12, 1925: Ethel Hale trims the nape under her bobbed hair with a new electric safety razor invented by Charles Schatte. “It makes shaving safe and quick, with no chance for cutting the chin or the neck,” reports International News Service from New York.

Making a small fidget quilt. Can you identify all the activities? This is a WIP picture. I have done all the machine sewing (hand sewing, like mitered bindings, etc still to do). I did decide on all yellow & orange bindings. #sewing #quiltTop #FidgetQuilt #quilt

Started a fidget quilt. I have 3 rows pieced, but stopped to get fidget items; may need to catch some parts in seams. Navy block is moire, pieced grey (block wasn't big enough so I pieced 2 of them) print is flannel. Lime is potentially backing fabric. Strip will probably be binding. #quilt #wip

I frogged my scarf after 36" & started over as a shawl. #LoomKnitting #LoomKnit #shawl #wip #LaceKnit

Aren’t they amazing?! I’ve tried tatting twice (I can knit and crochet; how hard can it be?!) and it was a spectacular disaster both times. It takes incredible skill and her work is a masterpiece.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Made it to the next layer of my magic yarn ball. Loom knitting a lacy scarf. #LoomKnit #LoomKnitting #laceWeight #ScrapExchange #WIP

Seph also has an etsy of sewing patterns/foam patterns if you're interested in those also! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Eufi...

I am up to O on my Morse code edging. I have the beads ready for P. #tatting #edging #MorseCode

& if you drop your shuttle through the ring before you close it (posting the shuttle), your last knot is less likely to unflip on you & it's easier to open the ring if you need to. It deforms the rings a little bit (more circle, less teardrop) but it's worth imho.

My State Fair entries, 1 of 6 #tatting #framed #2ndPlace

Guess what I did today! #RedCross #bloodDonation

today I'm wearing a ~Ren shirt older than most undergraduate college students;I sewed it in the 90s. To decorate it, the casing channels are sewn down with a feather stitch around the cuffs & neck in black. I overstitched the sleeve seams in red & the hem has a row of red & a row of black. #sewing

Anyone want to try & replicate this collar? www.jstor.org/stable/commu... #tatting #19thCentury #lace #collar

For anyone wanting to learn tatting, I recommend getting some size 10 or larger thread, in either multicolor or ombre with a strong contrast. It's not required, but it does make seeing the stitches & what the thread is doing easier. #tatting #tips #lace #recommendation

C.1917 housedress (Mrs. Depew) in cotton shirting, bias binding, cotton sheet on hem. Pocket linings (not visible) are pieced. Sash belt. #sewing #vintageSewing #dress #garment #GarmentSewing

Dress so close to finished. I need more binding for the back of the sleeves, & fasteners. This is a 3-piece pattern (Mrs. Depew) c. 1917 housedress. Not visible; the doubled white fabric I added at the bottom to both get it longer & so I don't have to hem it. #vintageSewing #sewing #wip #dress

Out of 7 entries (only 1 tangentially included tatting) I got 4 ribbons in State Fair; 3 2nd place & 1 3rd place. I forgot to take pictures beforehand, so you get to see them in situ-basket, framed medallion, change purse, & bracelet #tatting #prizes #awards #basket #framed #purse #jewelry

A sewing supply small business shop in Pomona, California sadly is going out of business sometime by next year within the January month. The owners are retiring. I stopped by just now today to browse and found such lovely sewing treasures. Everything was 50% off in closing sales. 🖤🤘🏼🧵🪡📍1/2

Benefit of hand sewing, matching the pocket stripes to the dress stripes. No, I don't know why the picture is sideways. #sewing #stripes #HandSewing #dress #VintagePattern #pocket #WIP

Vintage house dress pattern from Mrs. Depew. Made it 4 years ago. Found the pattern but not the instructions. Plus I am adding lining to key points. Wish me luck. Yes, the pocket linings are pieced. #sewing #wip #VintageSewing #houseDress

2.5 hours meeting + fidget = tatting (Monica Hahn pattern Size 80 vintage thread

I have some linen yarn that I really want to use for a scarf. But my fine gauge loom is busy with a sock (that I have now knitted the heel 4 times). #loomKnitting #LoomKnitWoes

This seems like a good time to repost this thread…. 💉

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal. I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you ko-fi.com/hanoodles
