The art of mindless embroidery.

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!

This one is a little harder to see because I decided to go off white on white to give it a *delicate* feel. In person you can see that there's textural detail, on camera it fights tooth and nail to not be perceived.

This is a shirt my mother in law got in Mexico about 20 years ago. It had a few brown stains on it that I covered up.

Some details I really enjoy from the process:

THE GRASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN by Charles Johnson (London: Harwicke, c.1861). Illustrated by John E. Sowerby. Art binding by Hannah Brown (2021)

Bound in pale yellow bull skin with inlays in a variety of colors across the entire cover. Hand embroidered with 29 species of British grasses. The endpapers and doublures have numerous hand-colored grass seeds on them. The box is made from poplar.
