Today's bug thing is this crochet millipede!
As I’m sure no one who’s seen my recent reblogs is surprised to learn, I’ve been really wanting to crochet something Dungeon Meshi related. So behold Kensuke!
Little leaf bug friend! He’s posable 💛
First time making a posable felt friend like this. All hand sewn! Took a long time but I’m proud of this little bugger
A little quilt dragon!!
Fish again!!! Here are some of my favourite game fish (+two minnows) embroidered onto my favourite garment so far!
Sturgeon, pike, burbot, trout, perch, silvery minnow, and a fathead minnow.
Wanna acquire this specific project?
Gar time 🌿
Appliqué and reverse appliqué! This is also a fully lined one and ngl, twelve million times easier than flat felling the sleeves <3
Up in the little shop.
Ancient Sea Creature Diorama - Anomalocaris (Cambrian Period).
古代海洋生物ジオラマ - アノマロカリス (カンブリア紀)。
The print is available on my Etsy shop.
Giant spider plushie is complete!!! This spider is about a foot long and I did not intend it to have its front legs off the ground like it’s asking to be picked up but I also cannot make it stop
The colors aren’t photographing quite right; in person it is an even brighter pink and the eyes are more navy blue, less void lol
BUG BAG UPDATE
does anyone remember when I was making a bug bag???? and told you I would show you when I finished it????? you'll never believe this (ha) but I forgot to actually post it. so here it is!!
the rings at the ends of the mandibles attach to a pilfered purse strap

Frogdog Plushy!
Introducing!!
Sourdough~ my very own frog dog!
And with just some fabric and a dream, you too can have your very own Frogdog with this Free Pattern below!!! This Google Doc contains both the sewing pattern, as well as instruction (If the instructions are vague or confusing its my first time making a pattern so please contact me for any clarifications :D)
I began by cutting out all of the pieces in my chosen fabric. (When cutting out the leg pieces, I left a large tab of fabric around the toes
Enjoy! And please show off your creations! I'd love to see them!
@onenicebugperday let's get them all
How to Make Your Own Binder that Fits Well and Looks Good
A while back I was in need of some new binders and thought hey, I bet I can make one way cheaper than buying it from somewhere (especially cus some of the ones I’ve bought in the past didn’t really fit right). Except when I started looking for a binder patterns online, I was very surprised that I really… couldn’t find many that looked very nice lol. Most of them had really wrinkled necklines, or didn't bind well, or just overall looked weird. A lot of the patterns also required a serger, which I don't have.
So I just said fuck it and made my own pattern! And it ended up being relatively easy! And the binders fit REALLY WELL and are comfortable to wear, even for long periods. The neckline doesn't show under shirts with loose collars, and the bottom hem doesn't gap or stick out. Here's me wearing one:
(plus I was able to make myself 5 of them for a total of like ~$50.)
So I figured I could throw together a guide to help out anyone else who wanted to make their own binder but was dissatisfied with the patterns available!
Disclaimer: This tutorial is going to assume a baseline level of sewing experience, and also will require access to a sewing machine. It is not a complicated pattern, but it will most likely require some tweaking and adjustments after you make the first one. Don’t be afraid to make alterations to make it fit better!
This tutorial is for a gc2b-style half-tank binder. It could be altered to be a full-tank binder, but all instructions will be for the half-tank design.
So I am currently working on using your guide to sew a few binders for myself! Right now I am still in the prototype phase with the pattern, making sure everything fits and sits right. It is going well so far! I definitely am having less problems sewing with stretch fabric, I usually do but I think this fabric I got was higher quality than stuff I have used previously.
Once I finish prototyping and have everything solid, I am planning on posting a bunch of pictures!
Finished prototyping and my first one that day actually, but I had a lot going on and didn't have time to post! It's a little big and the curve on the arm hole needs some adjusting, but I'm very happy with it!
I'm working on making a second white one today, and then I'm going to make one in black with space fabric on the inside and one in blue with space fabric on the inside!
Binder #2! I decided to do another in the white since I'm still tweaking the pattern a bit. This one went much smoother and quicker! I do want to note that for me, the interfacing is refusing to stick to my stretchy fabric, which hasn't been a big deal, I have just used the webbing and it's been plenty.
I also decided to use some different stitches this time. I used one of my favorite decorative ones on the bottom hem
And just a standard stitch on the top
I still used the zigzag stitch on the inside for connecting the straps and sides, as I think it's better structurally, but I had fun with the outside since it's mostly held together by the wonderweb anyways!
WOAH it looks so good!! The decorative hem stitch is so nice 👀
The straight stitches along the neckline and arm holes may end up popping/breaking if the fabric there is stretched much - I did the same thing with one of my early test-runs and found that it just doesn't have the stretchability of the zig-zag stitch, but I'm interested to see if it holds up with the addition of Wonder-Web/interfacing!!
Good call on the straight stitch. I was playing around with it and found I was lulled into a false sense of security by the front, which would hold up fine because of the cotton. The back definitely would have that issue so I will be redoing those stitches in zigzag or a more sturdy decorative stitch tomorrow.
For now, a sneak peak of the inside of one I spent the evening working on:

So, AI Sewing Patterns are things to look out for now.
Obviously I was dumb and shouldn't have cut right into my good fabric, but, oh my god. I was bamboozled and want to help other people from being in the same shitty situation.
So basically I bought the orange jumpsuit pattern on etsy from RivaPattern. As you can see, they have lots of sales and great reviews. I was surprised by how many patterns they had but I rolled with it because I saw customer photos of completed garments that looked properly made.
When I selected this pattern I admittedly only looked at the garment- not at the woman, who if I had looked at I would have noticed her hands and feet are deformed.
The pattern nicely came as a zip file with all the different sizes nicely laid out in US sizing so I picked my size and figured I'd be fine. I have access to a large format printer and so I was able to print them with no distortion what so ever on a single large sheet of paper.
It wasn't until after opening the pattern I realized there was maybe a problem- it described a collar that closed in the back with a button while the model is wearing on that closes in the front with a zipper. I wrote it off as an amateur thing and kept going. I've used indie and amateur patterns before, I know that weirdness happens. Plus I already planned on modifying the collar for the cosplay I was making.
After pinning the whole thing together tho... Jesus Christ Superstar. The bodice is wildly illfitting and cannot even begin to close in the front. The legs are freakishly long but also can't make it over my thighs. The pattern mind you said it didn't need stretch fabric, and thats part of why I picked it- because I already intended to use this non stretch sequin fabric.
I am so mad. I am mad at myself for falling for it, mad at myself for not using the pattern testing fabric i have for this express purpose, and mad that this fucking exists and that I am far from the first person to fall for it.
Fuck AI.
