100 Days of Making, Day 16
the making bug caught me tonight! I made a tie for this silky robe I thrifted out of some old bias tape, hemmed up a white tshirt I bought over a year ago and then turned this short sleeve button up into a sleeveless cropped shirt!
One of my tiktok mutuals, leslietyger, is doing 100 Days of Making and it's really inspired me to start making again!
so, day 1: an assignment count down for my final semester of grad school
I finished my final assignment ever today!!
tshirt rug update
I'm unraveling at least two yards of braided cord 😔 I thought I'd really like the white to be the dominant color, but I think I would rather it be a single strand running through the whole thing
kinda wish I had taken a photo of these before, but I’ve been doing some visible mending on my clothes recently :) the fashionable distressing had turned into slightly less fashionable gaping holes lol
thought it would be fun to try and continue the tree print onto the pants themselves to make it look like they were growing out—I’m not terribly good at embroidery bc I don’t do it very often but I think it turned out well!! yay :) I left some of the frayed edges in bc I liked the look, and I’m pretty happy with that decision \o/
I've been working on making tshirt yarn recently to help me use up some of my fabric reserves. stay tuned for a rug!
7 tshirts, three callouses, and several hours later:

100 Days of Making, Day 15
once again making things for my partners 😋 one of my partners is beginning to deal with chronic pain for the first time and they mentioned that they're not sure if heat would help or not. I often manage my chronic pain with heat, soooo, heating pouches! the one with the purply bits also has dried lavender in it, which I've never added to a pouch but want to try
also this is the first time I've done anything remotely appliqué-ish! I wanted the lavender one to stand out a little more, and I had these small scraps of purple flowers that were too small for much else
100 Days of Making, Day 14
one of my partners broke and promptly lost a little bunny figurine from their work. I made them a wanted poster last week, and then I found this teeny tiny milk carton in a museum giftshop :)
did I have glue? no. so let's hope this aquafor holds it on 😅
100 Days of Making, Day 13
I didn't feel very engaged with the act of making today :/ I might do something very simular tomorrow and see if I can get back into a more neutral headspace. but for now, please enjoy watercolor flowers :)
100 Days of Making, Day 12
I made more zines at work 😋 and I keep teaching the students who work for me how to make them
I think I'm going to try and make a little zine anytime I'm feeling stuck on something at work? one of the hardest parts of this days of making challenge is feeling the creative impulse at work and not being able to do anything about it. so taking a couple minutes to give my brain a break will be really helpful I think
100 Days of Making, Day 11
yesterday I semi-broke one of my rules and did my day of making at work. I made a little zine with cute notes for one of my partners! I'm not sharing the inside, but please enjoy the front and back covers!
100 Days of Making, Day 10
I redid the beads from yesterday on the jeans so they didn't drape so dramatically. Then added more beads and, my favorite part, a cute little message inside the fly
I also got some magnets today to make some pennies (rip the penny) into fridge magnets, and I added a few buttons too
I'm a little worried the E6000 wasn't the best glue to use, but we'll see what they're like tomorrow after having the night to set
also this is what the beaded rips look like when sitting down

I've been beading again! this is the start of adding things to a pair of jeans that I have two pairs of
not a day of making, but I patched a rip in my couch cushion last night with denim from and old pair of jeans and a shit ton of stitching lines
100 Days of Making, Day 8
Took some time off for visiting my partners and spring cleaning, so I started easy again with cropping these shirts. I've had the left one for nearly a decade but haven't worn it in a couple years. and the right one is a purchase from a few years ago, but my hips have filled out more and it's pulled uncomfortably
