One stitch at a time

lmaooooooo look at this fool jestermaxxing 👆🏽 the tan diamonds were naturally dyed using cutch and madder. the colorful patchworks are a mix of naturally dyed fabric and commercial solids! see if you can guess what came from the store and what came from the earth. i hand quilted this bastard on the train from nyc to pittsburgh

deciding size of cross stitch piece vs going blind….

Made a tape dispenser holder!

Steve for @a-literate-chicken on Art Fight! I've had my eye on this pattern forever, but I already have 3 chicken-shaped purses that I don't use, so I couldn't justify making myself a 4th.

you can see all the Mikus (and get the pattern for this one!) in the full zine-- everybody's work is very beautiful 🙏✨

Does anyone have any good places to look for pattern ideas? We're going for something pseudo-medieval ideally (or sufficiently cool otherwise)

hope these help!

Or am I striving for an unreachable goal?

As someone on here once said You don't go to a museum to look at the back of paintings.

some new freebie patterns on my ko-fi :D

I would like to stitch a sample before putting it on kofi, but I can make it available ASAP if there’s a lot of interest!

AFTER TWO MONTHS I AM FINALLY DONE WITH THE BACK OF THIS VEST. yes it is all embroidered. freehanded, drew a sketch on the vest with sharpie and then just went at it. i still have some stuff im doing on the front + another pocket to add and then im dying some linen and using that for the lining. may add a fish skeleton to the weird flap at the top.
