some progress pictures of the rosette for the cover of my needlebook. I’m trying out thread painting for basically the first time and it is a bit of a learning curve for me. also: do I regret doing this on two layers of felt + a layer of cotton? yeah, absolutely. should I have just stitched the rosette on cotton and appliquéd it to the felt? 100% yes. am I thinking about carefully cutting out the yellow center that I stitched before deciding what technique to use on the petals, which now really needs to be done on top of the petals? also yes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

“progress” update… eagle eyed readers may observe that I have started over. attempting to remove the yellow center stitches created a big mess so. here I go again. tbh I’m much happier with my shapes this time around and it’s much easier to stitch just on the cotton. I’ll have to cut new felt pieces but I’m 90% sure I have enough of the red felt left over to do that… 😬🤞

All six of my finished pages for my Sumerian god needlebook. Only the top three will be two-page spreads; the bottom three will make up the first and last pages (the horned crowns) and then the wheat and Inanna's star will be a two-page spread, and the lamp and the reed stylus will be another.

The Gods represented (in approximate order as shown) are Enki/Ea, Utu/Shamash, Nanna/Sin, Ninhursaga/Ninmah (& Ki if you like), Gula, An/Anu, Innana/Ishtar, Nuska/Nusku, Enlil and Nabu (or Nidaba).

I still have to stitch the cover decoration, and then do some complicated (for me) assembly, but this is a big step in completing this project!

first two finished pages of my sumerian god themed needlebook. The river page was the first one I had completed (probably over two years ago!), but then I decided at the very end to add reeds growing beside the river, so it’s also the last page I completed.

the full page spread of the river & fish is for Enki, the wheat is half of Innana’s spread, and the horned crown pedestal represents Anu

Next two finished pages. The mountain range and Omega symbol are for Ninhursaga/Ninmah, and the dog is the icon of Gula. The second horned crown pedestal is for Enlil, and the reed stylus opposite it is technically the icon of Nabu, but I prefer to think of it as representative of Nidaba, an earlier scribe goddess with no attested iconography.

The final two pages for the needlebook. The star is for Inanna, the lamp is the icon of Nuska, and the sun and moon are respectively Utu/Shamash and Nanna/Sin.

i will not purchase the spinning wheel listed on fb marketplace for less than a quarter of its retail price. i do not have the space or money or time. i will not just message and ask about it. i am too much of a novice at spinning to make a purchase like this. don’t do it!! @me!!

flourishingghost

i messaged the seller 😑

aghoststitching

it sold to someone else before they got back to me 😞 probably for the best but now i kind of regret not jumping on it right away… sigh…

#i keep looking jealously at tour de fleece posts #i really should just get out my drop spindle and practice with that more. i’m really still very bad at it

obsessed with this 1850 embroidery pattern for a repeating coral pattern

What would you even use this on? Who was the target audience? There’s definitely context here that I don’t have yet and I love it so much, it reminds me of @vincentbriggs’ teapot crinoid patterns!

It looks like it was originally intended for Berlin Wool Work, so it could have been used on a variety of things!

A repeating pattern like this would be absolutely perfect for a waistcoat, and it's pretty restrained and sober compared to a lot of the examples out there.

(Source)

(This one was never sewn up! c. 1855)

(Source. There are TWO MORE of these things out there with the same pattern done in slightly different ways!)

(c. 1850)

(c. 1835-40)

House slippers are another popular use. (I have a lot of them in the slippers section of this pinterest board, and it's nowhere near all the ones I've seen.)

(c. 1850's)

But slipper-specific patterns that take the shape into account seem to have been a more common choice, which makes sense for something so small and simple.

(I'm afraid I don't have source links for those two.)

(Source.)

Or perhaps ladies' boots.

(c. 1845-65. They have an elastic gusset!)

Or a bag.

(1830's)

(c. 1840)

Seat cushions would also be a good use for it.

(Suspenders are another thing that you see done in Berlin Wool Work, but a big repeating pattern wouldn't be any good for those.)

I've never done gridded embroidery, but so many of these look really cool, so perhaps someday... I really love the grape slippers and the devil slippers.

#oh man im still very new to needlepoint and figuring out how to finish those slippers would be. a Task #but i gotta recreate those devil ones for myself holy shit #embroidery

ALRIGHT GUYS I AM UP TO MORE SHENANIGANS!!!!!!

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO MAKE A MEDIEVAL STYLE TIE ON POCKET? WELL, AFTER MANY YEARS AND MUCH REQUESTS I HAVE FINALLY SAT MY ASS DOWN (with the help of a friend) AND TURNED MY VERSION OF THIS BITCH INTO AN ACTUAL SEWING PATTERN!!

Look at that bitch!! This is the new one that I made so that I could take in progress shots of the whole thing, but I made my first one in 2021, and that bitch is still going strong! It's had to go through a few repairs at this point (cause I switch between it and 4 other ones almost every single day) so rest assured these bitches at STURDY!

This is also like, my idea how many times attempt at making a pattern but THIS, yes THIS BITCH, THIS TIME is when I have finally succeeded in getting all the way to the end of the process! So if you'd like to make one of these motherfuckers head on over to the link (aka my kofi shop) to purchase the PDF printable pattern!

Have you ever gotten tired of not having pockets? Well, so did I, and it turns out the answer lies in the past. A lot of historical clothing

#i in fact have wanted to make these #sewing patterns
