My summer project for myself is to make a collection of 16 of these embroidered thimble rings (called kaga yubinuki), these are my first 2 ^^

using this as an opportunity to add this link to this post too:

Thank you for coming back to my blog after so long a leave (again). I plan to update my blog at least once a month but as you see it has be

really clear, written instructions that explain the why as well as the how. there's a lot of beautiful, simple designs on her blog as well!

#they're really nice to use as thimbles as well btw. way comfier than all the other types I've tried (most)#as well as being pretty jewellery :D

those embroidered thimble rings are GORGEOUS!!! how did you make them? :0

the shiiiinneeee, its so prettyyy!!!

tyyy!

I'm sorry, I'm going to infodump about them because I love them! the shine is because I use silk thread!

I'll try to illustrate this this because it's hard to explain, but ngl my photo taking is a bit sporadic so these are all from different projects!

so this is the base of them. a strip of card (if using as a thimble: measure around the middle of your middle finger) with a strip of BIAS CUT woven fabric wrapped around it.

then you need (a) padding and (b) to mark out a (usually even) number of segments. I'm doing 16ths at the moment, but 8 is probably the most common.

I've done a bunch of experimenting different ways of doing both of these, unsure on the best yet tbh! traditionally (a) is silk fibre

the first stitches, basically match up the lines in zigzag patterns. you can get an incredible amount of pattern out of sewing little zigzags. mine and all of these below are silk, but I've also used all sorts of thread, and even used 8/2 bamboo for a bracelet once

look at them.....

the colour..the geometry..

I hope this somewhat makes sense!

I should have just linked to these excellent, written tutorials from 2009!

#I just. think they're really beautiful #and fun to make once you get the hang of it!#my supplies for a 2 colour project fit in a playing card box #and that includes snips

#these ones are a bit big to be thimbles #but they are to practice my stitching so bigger = more practice + more room for complicated patterns (later)#also shhhhh at my nail I am incapable of staying still long enough for it to fully dry 😔#fiber crafts #embroidery #yubinuki #kaga yubinuki

#an oldie for you ^^

I never know how to take photos of long, thin things, especially when both sides are important! so. Snampler.

Trying out lots of different things on a double faced tablet weave!

(working on a chromatic aberration-y checkerboard one rn! got some photos on my instagram @ fibrescribbles)

#my fav bit is the wiggly line on the left hand side #would love to do a whole thing of that for something...#tablet weaving #weaving

I'm Freeing my cross stitch patterns!

I still get emails asking for patterns since I broke up with etsy a few years ago, and while I don't really want to get back into making patterns, I still like the ones I've made. So, I've put them all (16 of them) up on my ko-fi, for free.

This set of patterns includes some ~rare~ ones!

This wasn't on etsy for long - but it's one of my very favs.

and not just the return of the Avatar map (designed in 2012), but finally the updated version.

If it is fanart - Absolutely free (in the hopes they get to stay up). If not, it's free/pay what you want.

Happy stitching!

while I'm plugging stuff, a reminder that I'm trying to post more on Instagram (@ fibrescribbles)! i have zero plans to ever leave Tumblr (I have been here since 2009!!!), and will post 90% of my Posts here, but I'm tryyyying to post more WIP stuff on my stories

#trying to desensitise myself to finding Instagram scary for mysterious reasons

#cross stitch #cross stitch patterns #ive got 1 more that i got halfway thru stitching; the bathhouse from spirited away #but i changed some of the colours and the place that is written down is in a box #i think i know which one #the joys of moving house (...7 months ago) (ive been painting before i unpack everything!)#anyway. hopefully i can find that and put that up there too #also the colours on the ATLA map are better than that in person. cross stitch software sucks sm for colour matching

I met a tiny Cerberus on the bus yesterday

#he was on the way home from the airport #(he looked very happy!)

Omg. This is so random but I love seeing yet another pixel artist transition into fiber art. XD I too started making pixel art and then fell (back into for me) fiber art and now have basically abandoned all my old digital art to focus on my fiber crafts cause I just love it so much (and can use the stuff I learned with digital to help my fiber art anyways 🤭🤭🤭)

Happy crafting! Love to see it!

It's actually the other way around for me! I got into pixel art because I wanted to make my own cross stitch patterns!

Even though I'm not doing either of those things right now, I definitely use a lot of the skills from them all the time, and I bet next time I want to make something pixelly I'll have some fun ideas I've picked up from the many other things I do ^^ everything feeds into each other!

I had set up this warp to teach myself double faced tablet weaving. no design intentions, just to experiment

So thank you for giving me an idea for my first Thing on it ^^ (gonna mirror this so I can fold it, since my signature isn't reversible)

#I think I wanna see if I can make it look scribbled/doodled on but that's a bit intimidating lol #now squares. yeah I can do squares

#i can't make lace and I'm not huge on Embroidery but aside from that. yeah I probably enjoy doing it lol #oh I've never tried nalbinding (sadly)

I needed a new belt, so I dug out my inkle loom for the first time in a few years ^^

got some more WIP photos/a video over on instagram (fibrescribbles!)

#weaving #the only downside to an inkle loom is that tbh there really are only so many belts/straps you need lol #i also just finished a (rly simple) tablet woven band thats been a WIP for like 4 years #aaand started threading cards for another one so. it clearly doesnt stop me too much lmao #id missed it!

I know Instagram is horrible, but I am trying to get better at showing the million things I do (rn: new belt!) and stories seems like a low stress way of doing it

so if you like the things I do & use Instagram, I am fibrescribbles over there

not leaving Tumblr at all, don't worry :)

#alas networking is basically mandatory at uni and ig seems to be the best place still :(#trying to break into Instagram in 2026 seems Awful but if I think of it as sharing snippets that's okay :)#neither name rly works for me rn but changing usernames is hard lol

Braided Cable

a necklace for a uni project titled Jewellery is Rubbish - this was an old HDMI cable that was collecting dust

#artists on tumblr #jewellery #might post some of my project notes here at some point #it was fun to make #(note: I am really good at untangling wires. YMMV on the fun :p)
