#netted lace

[tacit-semantics]

Alright!!!!!!!!!! Finished my biggest filet lace piece yet :) a big mess on the technical level because I realized at the very very end what it was that was giving me so much trouble (was failing to account for one of the threads when working around the holes (which were giving me so much trouble on the bigger part that I DID indeed just give up on but we will get em next time)) but let’s ignore that because I DID IT LOOK YALL. Thumbs up picture partially for scale but also because I DID IT

#id in alt #YEAHHHH #amateur lacemaking baby!!!!! fly high!!!!!! #look for teaching myself entirely from books and Vibes I’ll take it sksjjs it’s RECOGNIZABLE baby we are recognizable. did it!!!!!!! did it #tension on the net is alllll screwy but I’ll figure out how to fix that in later projects :) think it’s just gonna be smaller projects for #bit though like looooord we did not have the technical basis for this one. we did not. #filet lace #lacis #lacemaking #embroidery #fiber arts #netting #net making #netted lace #my work #:))))))))))) #trypophobia

In between all the project I’m slowly finishing a few meters of netted lace. Now drying out after bleaching cause I’m a fucking idiot and I have not checked my yarn and used light ecru for a few rows. Tomorrow it’s starching and ironing time

Dear Marzi,

I know you want to do Renaissance Revival sleeve slashes with green silk puffs (bordered with lace) on your new bodice. it WOULD look very very cool. but consider:

You would need to order more green silk and it would not be done in time for holiday travel

IT IS A WINTER BODICE, YOU ABSOLUTE PEABRAIN

DO NOT BREAK UP THE NICE COZY WOOL SLEEVES WITH NON-INSULATING-WEIGHT SILK

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE USING ANTIQUE CHANTILLY LACE AGAIN DESPITE KNOWING THAT THAT SHIT IS AS BRITTLE AS APRIL ICE

"wah wah they don't make it in non-plastic anymore though!!!" YOU ARE A MENACE TO INNOCENT LACE IS WHAT YOU ARE, MADAME

get your fucking act together,

Marzi.

#sewing #historybounding #victorian #show me where to get black cotton net lace of the same quality today and I'll leave the antique stuff alone #for now it gets gently stitched on low-stress areas of garments with a good thought and a prayer

young elim doesnt sew but he DOES knit a PRODIGIOUS amount. standing in line for hours at the cardassian dmv playing his role as a cog in the bureaucratic machine needles clacking away

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #you know cardassian ravelry is popping OFF #sending a message to a designer only to realize they havent been active since the Great Genocide like aww..... #RIP scalesnneedles69420 i guess ill never get my question about the yoke gauge answered #anyways Lim always has yarn and needles in his shoulder bag so he can knit on the go. keeping his family well appointed #garak in a very handsome Faire Aisles sweater. iskra proudly showing off her elaborate knit mitts. #julian gets socks. because he never wears sweaters. its too hot. he doesnt appreciate them. #i feel like exposure to bajoran culture would create a renaissance in openwork knitting. lots of asymmetrical lace and net patterns. #vs the cardassian INCH THICK FOR WARMTH. IMPERMEABLE AND FIREPROOF knits #maybe julian can get a nice filmy silk yarn asymmetric openwork bolery sort of thing. #Lim really has to overextend himself to make it. get out of his comfort zone. fulminate over the lackadaisical design and lack of seams

I got married this summer!! And I spent the year leading up to it designing & patterning & making my dresses! So here they are; unfortunately my photo selection is pretty limited cause our photographer got almost no fullbody pictures of me alone from the front, but w/e

My wedding dress/outfit/what have you consisted of an Edwardian-ish blouse and a skirt which I drafted off of an actual Victorian walking skirt pattern except since I didn’t wanna obtain/wear a corset & bustle I took out the hip shaping so it just turned out to be a partial circle skirt that’s a little longer and fuller in back. Oh, and the front panel was actually two overlapping panels which could be folded back and attached to the inside of the skirt. I wore it closed at the actual marriage part which I didn’t get good pics of, and open at the ring ceremony, which is where all the above pics were taken. The pants were resale, but I did make my veil and bouquet!

The second dress was very inspired by this set of classic lolita OP’s (particularly the one in the first two pics) which I first saw back in 2021 and I’d been itching to make something similar ever since, so I picked up the fabric for it when it was on sale back at my old job and then pencilled it in as my reception dress so I would actually get around to making it. (Although fun fact both of these outfits STILL need more sewing done before they’re completely ready for regular wear lol. Someday) I got the cameo for the brooch off Etsy (it has a butterfly on it) and my grandma bought me the shoes for Christmas last year, though I added the bows to them (they’re removable and I also made a pink set) and also made the earrings and hair bow.

Anyway we recently got done moving and stuff so hopefully I will be able to do more art soon! (Also they/them preferred as usual 💜)

#sewing #victorian #edwardian #lolita #wedding #ok search tags are done I can relax #Yes my wedding dress was very hot to wear outdoors but I didn’t wanna make it for just one event so it’s also my temple dress #which had certain requirements including long-ish sleeves #I call the reception dress my snail dress because the fabric is patterned with ferns and mushrooms and one little snail per repeat #continuing the animal trend of my peacock skirt & bee shirt & butterfly dirndl #also not very visible in the photos but covering up the ruffle seams are length of lace which I snipped slits in to run tiny ribbon through #and then I had to sew it on BY HAND and oh man that yoke seam got sooooooooooo thick with the ruffled net lace and tulle #(which were nylon cause that’s all I could get cheap in person at joannes & such) and also several layers of quilting cotton #I never would’ve finished both dresses (the exterior at least) if I hadn’t tried taking aripiprazole for a month #cause I got the whole skirt for the snes (snail dress) finished in like A WEEK #sadly it gave me weird physical side effects so I had to stop taking it. sadge #oh yeah also I finally drafted my own bodice block for the snes cause I couldn’t find any princess seamed high neck bodice patterns #and for the white blouse I made changes to the shoulder seams and collar of my bee shirt pattern buuuut I probably shouldn’t have #ended up a bit wonky #anyway future planned projects include… watercolor painting for the apartment (feat. kirby) #Elfilin/Elfilis gijinkas which are. being somewhat difficult #Magolor gijinka minecraft skin LOL (I have the account migration cape and it goes perfectly with his EX colorway) #not sure if I’ll ever get around to finishing that pmv. we’ll see

Annnd done!! Featuring some more progress pictures, and then the end result. It’s not blocked so the outside loops are a bit uneven, but these work up pretty fast and I generally like how they turn out so I’m pretty happy with it :)

My first try at bucks point lace

The pattern is by Jo Edkins

made out of silk thread and pearl cotton

#I found her website a couple of days ago and it really is an amazing resource for bobbin lace makeing #For my first go its not half bad #The bucks point net looks just like a half stitch i think maybe the material was to thin for the size of the hole? #lacemaking #Bucks point lace #thehistoricalfrog #bobbin lace

[unopenablebox]

far enough in the lace section that my golden autumn shawl actually looks like something

#sort of regretting not using more visible beads but it was hard finding something i really liked with this yarn #now im wondering if i should try a niebling doily next. the answer is no bc i should aim to knit something i can use ever #& not make choices that encourage me to buy even more $40 skeins of pure silk rather than using the many extremely nice yarns i have #but i do enjoy knitting mildly elaborate lace and feeling smug. #box opener #knitting #i'm using dyeforyarn laceweight tussah silk and it is SO nice i'm really loving it. was worried it'd be splitty but so far not much #very soft very pleasant fabric. this thing will probably come out kind of small given that i'm down to like 3mms to get a fabric i like #but if i wear it it'll be as a scarf anyway. and it's sooo soft so who cares. #look at that fun honeycombed lace netting between the floral motifs. what more can a man want in life

Started knitting a kufiya pattern piece (solid bars, olive leaves, fishnet) and I’m actually really happy with how it’s coming out so far :]

Very early progress pics below cut - excuse my pyjamas

#ra speaks #personal #needlework #knitting #I tried a few different leaf patterns but ended up frogging them bc they were proportionate to the rest of it #I’m going w a more simple leaf pattern which means it doesn’t show up well until I get a few dozen more rows in #but bc I know they’re there I can see them and it’s like yessss yesssss #I’ve been planning this pattern for weeks bc I couldn’t find a pattern out there #and I hate changing colors and stuff so this is just a mono color textured pattern #which tbh I think will look nicer even if it isn’t a solid piece of fabric (eg. the net is lace instead of a pattern on solid fabric) #if I was gonna start over I’d make the bars a smidge thinner but the netting section is pretty big so maybe it’ll look fine once I’m done

I'm not tagging all of them for the sake of spam even though it would be technically relevant. but I made squidward buttons for your squidward reaction needs. If I fucked up the terms genuinely my bad I'm up past my bedtime tbh. Image ID in alt text

We'll see. i think tatting imo if it theoretically branced off knots whereas crochet branched off embroidery that #only got to europe during the 1700s iirc #oh well goodnight lmao #me #my works #my memes

I have been thinking about what types of notions and things the craft dorm (what I've been calling the Shu/Izumi/Kuro/Mao dorm) would have in their respective kits and ended up making some collages with my thoughts. In order it's Shu, Izumi, Kuro, and Mao. Longer explanation below the cut.

Shu:

Since he canonically makes lace I put all sorts of different lace making tools on his. In the english server it got translated as crochet and crochet lace can be absolutely gorgeous and it's pretty portable so it makes sense, hence the steel hooks. The other lace making tools are bobbins and a bobbin pillow and a tatting shuttle. While tatting is the "lesser" form of lace making compared to crochet and bobbins, it's by far the most portable as the thread is wound around the shuttle and to me Shu would probably do tatting on the plane to/from Japan and France. Also included for him are pretty generic sewing notions, your pins and pincushion, scissors, a needle and thread, t-pins, and beeswax. T-pins can be used to block the lace as well, and the beeswax is for hand sewing. Fun fact but if you run your thread over beeswax a few times before starting to sew it'll help strengthen your thread and prevent it from splitting! Shu also heavily prefers working with natural fibers over synthetic.

Izumi:

Guy absolutely uses DPNs (double pointed needles) for his knitting, at least when it comes to socks and hats. I believe in some of the examples of his knitting we've seen he has done cabling so a cable stitch holder is there as well, though I can imagine he does it without it too if it gets lost. He also has a ball winder and I wish I had thought to put a swift on here too but like Shu, he prefers to get natural fibers over synthetic and hand dyed wool is great but it comes in hanks which areeeeeee hard to work with so a swift and ball winder would be necessary for him. Also included are more t-pins, a blocking board, stitch markers, and yarn needles.

Kuro:

To me, Kuro is the type of guy to make scrap quilts with left over fabric from the outfits he makes for his friends (and also out of like old shirts his sister has grown out of), so he has a huge scrap fabric pile he's constantly thinking about what type of blocks to make them into. I feel like he'd also make his own appliques for these quilts and would use basting spray to hold those down, obviously. Also the type of guy who just carries spare buttons on him in case of an emergency. Also has a seam ripper, scissors (thread, fabric), a tailor's measuring tape, and a cutting board.

Mao:

I know he doesn't really craft but to me? He's a crocheter. He tried knitting once and failed very badly but crochet (in my opinion at least) is a lot easier to grasp for beginners and I think he made the dorm a few dish cloths at first but mostly makes amigurumis now of his favorite manga characters, as well as little toys for his friends, hence the safety eyes. Probably works more with synthetic fibers due to ease of accessibility and variety of colors, though he tries not to buy too much of the same color unless he knows what it'll be used for. Also has stuffing, yarn needles, stitch markers, and a little crochet hook carrying case.

General Notes:

There were some things I didn't think to add until after I had already finished all of these collages, and some things that were things I thought everyone would have. To start, Shu would obviously also have a blocking board for his lace blocking, and as mentioned earlier Izumi would have a swift. Shu probably also has a swift and ball winder or just borrows Izumi's when he buys anything heavier than thread for crochet (which isn't often so I'm leaning more towards borrowing). Kuro would also have a bar of beeswax for the same reason as Shu, as well as maybe a thimble? Though I suppose it depends on how much he cares about his fingers being callused from the needle. Shu has a thimble. I also think all four of them would have some sort of project bag, whether it's just an old backpack or something a bit more expensive, they all have something that allows them to take their crafts on the go.

Anyway that's all I had but please tell me your thoughts if you want :3
