scrappy patchwork journal ✩ ₊˚

if ever you needed an excuse to start a sewing project, this tiny sewing journal is it!

it's filled with fabric 'pages' to practice stitches or just fill with little sewn bits and bobs that you don't know what to do with!

Another commission, for a kitty named Zeus! Which explains the outfit... I used the ballet top from the LCR patterns and then just knit back and forth with a few increases to make a toga, crocheted the sandals and then just lazily twisted some pipe cleaner for a little thunder bolt and laurel crown. It's a bit too big to go above the ears so it's just... weirdly below LOL.

it's a well-known fact in the textile crafting community that "making objects from textiles" is an entirely separate hobby from "having a collection of materials to make things with."

crafters often refer to this collection as a "stash" or a "hoard."

it's normal to have, but sometimes comes with a certain awkwardness.

the problem is that it takes a very long time to make things from textiles - and it is extremely quick, fun and easy to get more materials.

Presents, impulse purchases, leftovers from other projects, things you bought FULLY intending to make something that you changed your mind about...

Another problem is that you genuinely DO have a plan for the materials! your intentions and desires are THERE!

and admitting that it isn't going to happen - or that your mind has changed, or you're no longer able to do them - can be really painful!

it's incredibly hard to say: "we are not the people who can do these things. we are not the people who WILL do these things."

but sometimes you need to.

it's a natural part of life. it might feel painful to let go of things that you really want to use, but won't. But clearing them out - and the attached guilt and shame - will make room for a lot more things in your life. Room for things you'll use. Room for the projects you'll do.

Room and space - not for hanging on to the shades of the ambitions and intentions and people you aren't - not being held for lives you don't have - but room and space for who you are today, and who you'll be tomorrow, and for the things you'll do.
