First ever post on Tumblr and still struggling to figure out how it works but here goes. Charity shop dress that I'm embroidering to make into my very own DHMIS dress! Using the animated sequences in the Transport episode as reference cus the guys are too cute. Can't wait til I'm finished and can wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY.

When Name Brand is Worth the Hype
Tumblr media
As a hobby crafter who does projects for fun rather than for profit, one of my goals is to reduce the cost of materials.  This isn’t because I’m cheap (though I certainly have my moments!) or because I don’t care about creating a somehow inherently inferior item.
In fact, in many instances, I’ve found minimal overall differences between name-brand and off-brand supplies.
I take an economical approach to supplying-up for my projects.  Except there is one case where I absolutely cannot get over the significant difference in quality.
I will, absolutely, 100% of the time, shell out for DMC thread over off-brand.

I need someone to convince my brain I don’t want a full set of DMC Coloris threads because I won’t use them but I want them very very badly.

Starting work on a birthday present for my brother. We loved watching the Animated Series together when we were younger. Our favorite episodes were, of course, the ones featuring the Clown Prince of Crime himself. Pretty happy with my chosen colors.

In a follow up to this post.
I had already discussed it a bit on my main blog, but it should go here, too, for consistency's sake. This will basically be c+p (though leaving out my silliness 😬. I try to maintain SOME semblance of professionalism, here).

This is comparing the stranded DMC color card: https://amzn.to/43Nw5yP
To the printed DMC color card: https://amzn.to/3OzTQFl

Right off the bat the blue/purple segments on the covers do not match. Another price raising feature is that there is embossing on the swatched book’s cover.
I do appreciate how they make it very obvious they’re different resources by the image of threads and font they used on each book.
Tumblr media
First quick glance and yeah the printed samples don’t match the swatched samples exactly. A lot of them are very close but then there’s like 3328.
Tumblr media
350 (I don't know why, but that number wants to be enormous if I don't add text to the line. I'm not a fan of the "new" post editor.)
Tumblr media
3801 and 666 all of which are more different to my eye in person than on the screen.
I think for the purposes of matching doll parts the $10 printed book would probably be fine and is a lot more accessible to collectors, but for IDing mystery threads and planning custom threadwork the $40 swatched book is a must. There’s just too much difference in some of the samples.

Had some leftover embroidery threads lying around and decided to take up embroidery as a new craft! I got this pattern off from Walmart and enjoyed making it!💕

Hand embroidered lyrics from Crystal Ball by Styx on a hoodie. One of my favorite songs so figured I’d make my own merch lol
First time embroidering clothing and first time doing lettering. Pretty proud of myself

Metallic thread is of the devil, can anyone tell me why these major thread companies haven't been able to produce good metallics? I've had good experiences with kreink but it's expensive and still not great...
