@bammerlaan@pixey.org @sewing Further process pictures of the thrilling development of this #sashiko patch pocket. Doing this on the train to and from a Groningen concert turned out to be a good activity.

The back of #hitomezashi sashiko is supposed to look as neat as the front, with the excess thread tucked between two layers of fabric. I don't have two layers of fabric, but you'll only see the front, anyway. So 🤷

Get yourself a man that a) shows real interest in all your little hobbies and crafts, b) picks up on your throwaway comment about how you wanted to try tambour/goldwork but gave up when materials proved very hard to source in your country and c) GOES AND ORDERS A HAND & LOCK KIT FOR YOU and gives it for your anniversary 😭❤️ this is the Bernadette Banner/Hand&Lock collab, ans yea that's the same Hand&Lock that's been arpund since the friggin 1700's. I can't fuckin WAIT to dive into it all.

I guess the closed contours of an SVG font is normal. I thought again about the process of Relief Single Line font where they make a simple search/replace to reopen the contours. → <github.com/isdat-type/Relief-S>

I added this search/replace in the script. Now we can have proper stroke fonts for #Hershey text in @inkscape for #plotter or #embroidery. :)

I will stop spamming here and get back to "real work".

Here it is, with the rough idea of a plan to move forward with after ripping out the surface weaving on the bottom quadrant of the X.

I just started the first of 6 lengths of gold work down in the lower right corner (it goes up diagonally to the top left). Placing that first row against the French knots is delicate and tedious, a task most suited to the morning for me. I tend to lose momentum late in the day, particularly when I wake up at 4am like today. 😬

A birthday present I got. I wanted a stencil for #sashiko. (I'm bad at drawing grids, especially on fabric.) This was what I got—the local sewing shop apparently recommended it.

You use a hot needle to poke holes into the plastic, then I pinned it to my fabric and used a heat-erase pen to draw dots. I started out going row by row but then thought of a different strategy, as I'm connecting the dots with a ruler, anyway.

Promising results, so far! Though the hot needle poking part was a bit tedious.

En detaljbild på leksandslivet där maljorna och laskningen syns bättre. Maljorna är i tenn och laskningen (flätsömmen) i silke. Själva livet är sytt någon gång under 1900-talet och ganska slitet.

Happy to finally reveal one of the official product picture for my upcoming magnets! 🪲

Before releasing them, I will create listings with 0 stock, that way if you want one (or several) you can activate the notification, this will give me an idea of how many to make for the release! ✨
Hoping to have them ready by the end of April at the latest~
