The Star and the Phoenix

🧣 What if you saw this red scarf in Babylon Berlin and wondered if you could make one yourself.

I think it’s darn cute and I have one myself, and it was super easy to make.

I’ve used the free Miss Marple pattern, but I do wonder how this vintage one would turn out also. It looks very similar.

if you’re eager, here are the links:

Yet another fibrecraft meme that I have made

And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …

BUT this is the item btw
