I'm obsessed with how this one catches the sunlight

10/16 of my summer yubinuki project!

#yubinuki #embroidery #summer yubinuki project #this one also probably has the neatest stitching I've ever achieved 🥳

Part 2 of my summer yubinuki project!

This little set are characterised by working in both directions! the first is a mirror image, but all the dark brown in the others is stitched to the left, and the others to the right.

#my friend said Prince would rock the 3rd one and I've been thinking 'would Prince have liked this?' about all my ideas this week lol #yubinuki #fiber arts #embroidery #handmade #summer yubinuki project

Rescued this guy from the b&q bargain bin last year (tiny chip on his ear!) and promised an upgrade from the jute cord he came with!

he's a much funkier bat now 🦇✨

#this is absolutely not the most efficient way to make cordage #but it's summer break n I have a back injury. efficient is not my aim #I need enjoyable things I can do while lying on the sofa when I'm done doing stuff #and inkle looms are great for that!

4/16 of my yubinuki project

all four of these have the same stitches in the same place, but sewn in different orders.

switching it up for my next few, in technique and colour. here's #5:

I post more about this on Instagram!

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 ^^

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!

I've been posting about these a lot more on my Instagram btw! @ fibrescribbles

in the last image you can see the second one i made (last summer!), and as you can see, I've used it a lot! I've been using my new one (the orange and green) for these 4 and it's holding up great so far ^^

#I like to save the good photos for tumblr 💚#gives me motivation to take nice photos #I get to share things and you guys are all so nice 💚#(TL;DR I'm never leaving tumblr don't worry)

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 #summer yubinuki project

#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

wiglett as a goalie

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!)
