By sewing the third layer of leaves so that the leaves stand upward a little, I was able to give the pillow some more shape, and it all fits together much more nicely. There are still gaps between the leaves, which I hope won't make the whole pillow too fragile. But the changed geometry definitely reduced the gaps!
Inner leaves of the succulent pillow - done!
there are two more layers of leaves to sew together, and then add a backing. As I add the layers and it gets more three-dimensional, the work gets more complicated!
Back to the succulent pillow project - time to sew all the pieces together! I'm figuring it out as I go along, as this is my first time sewing crochet, and the pattern I'm using doesn't really have any guidance.
I wanted a bigger dice tray. Had some leather and snap buttons on hand. I'm not sure if this qualifies as #LeatherWorking but it definitely qualifies as gaming related #crafting, so even while I'm under the weather (hence no climbing pictures today) I got something made 😊
After a couple of weeks break from posting a blog, I'm back.
This week's blog post is my roadtrip to the 45˚ Fibre Festival in Gore at the beginning of May. It features knitting and spinning and buying crafty things, and winning a raffle prize.
Lately all I do is read (yet more) romance novels in English and bead things. And marinate in the new Taylor Swift album. And sleep. It feels like I'm never not tired. #WNBA starts next week!!!
So recently i had some time to play again with #bookbinding, tried to make couple of notebooks, one using some decorated paper i bought at a #crafting store, and the other one based on my #osdev_notes#book project, i call it the "Osdev Notebook", it's still in a drafting stage, but the idea is nice (i have designed the inner pages too).
I've posted it on my ko-fi page too: https://ko-fi.com/post/Some-homemade-notebooks-R6R8XQZG3 (don't worry i use it as my blog, so nothing to pay). #art#handmade
Today on 'why am I doing this to myself' I'm making myself a pouch for my tablets, using double #crochet stitch and two different colours for the chequered pattern! #crafting#craft
Yarn people, textile people : I have found these amazing works. The woman who made them has died, and she never explained what her technique was. Embroidery? Crochet? Can any of you suggest one? Right and wrong sides shown #YarnCraft#TextileCraft#crafting#crochet#embroidery#textile
