My fears of it being too small were unfounded, I guess 😂

Finally taking this sombitch off of the shit loom. I have a lot of negative feelings about this #weaving because of the problems I had. I could to a whole blog post. But! I finished the top with a #hemstitch for the first time, and this looks real good. Look forward to doing that with future projects since I can't leave this as is. #fiberarts #painintheass #yarn #learningexperience

Peaches and picnics and polka dots... that’s the theme of August around here these days. 🍑 One of the things I always like to tuck into a picnic basket is a vintage tablecloth that then becomes a cozy picnic blanket. Vintage cloths are always made of the softest material, come in big sizes for spreading out and instantly add a bit of unique style to your whole affair. 🌸 This pastel bubblegum pink tablecloth is made of the softest linen and features a very unique circular hemstitch design. It’s a marvel of threadwork for sure and some might say too fancy for a picnic on the grass. But I always think that a vintage linen would much rather be out in the world loved and enjoyed, than tucked away in a drawer and forgotten about. 🥂 Cheers to living with purpose (and to peaches and to picnics and to polka dots:) Find this pink wonder sitting pretty in the shop! . . . . . . #picnic #pinktablecloth #picnicstyle #vintagetablecloth #hemstitch #peaches #dots #polkadots #pinkvintage #vintagelinens #everydayvintage https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwuvY4pVPo/?igshid=1nu2hd0mz2b6x

First try at using my blind hem stitch and foot. It's great! I need to re-hem my Mom's corduroy robe/dressing gown that she made, probably in the early 1950's. The robe needs its own post. Meanwhile, I learned a new thing! Very exciting. #hemstitch #blindhem #sewistsofinstagram #artasaneverydayattitude https://www.instagram.com/p/BxT3-SBJGD1/?igshid=1aybq92taswz9

More from the hemstitch gallery! It’s always amazing to think that originally this style of embroidery was created by pulling individual threads, by hand, from fabric in order to make a pattern. When the first hemstitch sewing machine was invented in 1893, it was quite the time saver and hemstitching became trendy during the Victorian and Edwardian eras thanks to faster production and easier manufacture. Today, there are specific hemstitching machines now too for modern sewers, but the vintage pieces always retain a handmade quality that is dainty, delicate and unique. - - - - #hemstitch #embroidery #needlework #vintageneedlework #vintagelinens #edwardian #victorian #linennapkins #vintagecloth #sewing https://www.instagram.com/inthevintagekitchen/p/BvmSItpAAUs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ydrlrlje7ja1
