THRESHOLD UPON YE!!

[moth-girl42]

[fatmasc]

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

[fatmasc]

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!

OP I owe you my life

[whatchamacallitz]

[insanefiercecorpse]

You are a saint thank you so much

Tragic news! The big bad has put up a "DNI if you're an adventuring party or on a quest to stop evil", so it looks like there's nothing the PCs can do about their scheme :(

[thoodleoo]

have been losing my shit over the fact that 1. there's a passage in polybius's history where he tells us that the tyrant demetrius of phalerum once made a giant mechanical snail to parade through athens and trail slime everywhere 2. people have been trying to figure out how this massive snail worked since at least 1937

Item: giant mechanical snail commissioned by the local ruler to parade around town and leave a trail of slime

one of the coolest things about being a crafter is seeing an Object and going “🫵 I could make that”

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didn’t know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.

[rawringthroughthetwenties]

Ok but this is actually one of the easiest ways to tell what something is made of! I did a textiles degree and one day as part of a class we all went outside with a pile of scrap fabric and set fire to the little pieces and recorded how they burned. We were given a chart that looked something like this to tell what each fabric was (it gets a little tricky is it’s a mix of fabrics though). Why did we do this? There is very little regulation in the textiles industry so a lot of materials are mislabelled as something they aren’t and sold for more than they should be, also sometimes people buy fabric second hand or discounted which doesn’t have any label at all. If you have a fabric you are having doubts about, cut a tiny piece off and do the burn test and you should know pretty fast what you are dealing with. Anyways your fabric store should be lighting things on fire because this means that they are actually checking what the fabrics are and aren’t trying to pass cheap stuff off as more expensive than it is.

[queermaddscientist]

Ooh! I knew it was a standard test but I hadn’t seen a chart as detailed as this thank you!

this is just Phasmophobia for people who sew?

Star Trek shouldn't be about saving the entire galaxy and cinematic fight scenes. It should be about what kind of moral dilemmas of the week they can explore with a budget of four cups of coffee, props stolen from other studio sets, and 10 dollars

This week's free pattern is for the aquarium enthusiast who doesn't have an aquarium!

This pattern has turned out to be one of my favourites. They're super simple and quick to make and just as easy to customise. When I get the time, I'll be trying out a few different designs!

Axolotl Crochet Pattern by Evelyn Stowe

[loveacrochet]

Hey loves!

I reposted my own pattern since I was not able to create a new one this week. Hopefully, I could publish a free pattern before this year ends. 

Love, A

[my-darling-boy]

I was having writers block and so I took a break and soon enough it was 3 in the morning and I had impulsively sewn together a tiny mouse you’re welcome

[my-darling-boy]

For those of you who asked, I have made a sewing tutorial on how to make your very own Peaches the Mouse!

[my-darling-boy]

I see people reblogging this with “to buy” but this pattern is free??? Someone even asked me “why don’t you charge money for it, it took you forever to put the document together” and I said “Not a lot of people have money and if they have some fabric scraps and a couple of buttons lying around they can make themselves a little mouse friend for free and that might make them happy and that makes me happier than receiving money???” Make yourself a liddol creacher! Heals the Soul!

[my-darling-boy]

Peaches wants to let you all know he has seen all your mouse creations and he’s very happy you’ve used his pattern to make such lovely friends!

A lot of people have been asking for my PayPal and Ko-fi, so I’ve put them here for those who asked, but please don’t feel pressured to give to them!

Thank you for all the kind feedback! ♡

[icanonlybekilledbyoctopus]

[myhoneststudyblr]

here is my brand new challenge! i’ve known that i was going to do this challenge since i started my summer challenge in july so i am so psyched to be able to finally share it with you guys! i hope that you will enjoy it <3

DISCLAIMER: lots of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what i celebrate at this time of year. i was very aware of that when i was writing the prompts but i did not think that knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. i did not want any prompts i made to be disrespectful. if you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! you can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. if it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate because i am excited to learn about them! [this was edited later because i realised i forgot to add it - thank you to the anon who queried this issue for reminding me <3]
