“I need to work on my Christmas knitting.”  “Start a complicated project for yourself instead.”  “But Christmas is almost here. It’s the time of giving!” “Be selfish.”

What is this 'finish' you speak of?

My crocheted Rey costume on Day 2 of ACEN 2016. This is my favorite cosplay, maybe of all the ones I’ve ever done so far. I loved going as her and it was so much fun. Plus I got to pose with a Kylo Ren AND a Finn :D

Also, my friend and I went as Rikku and Rey and we found another pair of friends who went s Rikku and Rey! How crazy is that?

[bonkeyjong-blog]

This is spot on! You're so talented! Look at BB-8's little face 😱

When you’re carding, spinning and weaving everything from scratch, using the big squares exactly as they come off the loom must seem like a fucking brilliant idea. 90% (or more) of pre-14th century clothing is made purely on squares (and sometimes triangles cut from squares). 

[annathecrow-that-was]

How did they get the fabric so fine it draped like that? Was that something medieval europe forgot? Or do I just have a completely misguided image of historical clothing?

[ardatli]

Medieval Europe also had incredibly fine weaves, though the ancient world tended to have them beat. Linen was found in Egypt woven with a fineness that we’re still trying to replicate, and there was a kind of cotton woven in India called ‘woven wind’ that was supposedly still translucent at eight layers, and wool shawls so fine that the entire thing could be drawn through a wedding ring. 

The way they could get away with pinking and slashing doublets in the 16th century was partially because the fabrics were so tightly woven that you could simply cut a line on the bias and nothing would fray. 

Modern fabric machining sucks ass in terms of giving us any kind of quality like the kind human beings produced prior to the Industrial Revolution.

neat!

[infamousstitch]

Wow I never would have guessed

[yarnaddiction]

I pretty much only knew this because I took a history of fashion class in undergrad that was basically how to costume anything from BC to the late 1800s/earlier 1900s. I was in heaven.

[bonkeyjong-blog]

This makes me very happy! Even I could make this!
