this is miles.. having a wiggle.. please be respectful 🐟
wondering if i can find heat-erasing or water-erasing ink in a bottle that i can saturate a stamp pad with, so i can carve a little stamp in the silhouette that i trace onto fabric to sew my fish pins.. that would save me such an insane amount of time lol

i got annoyed with not having anything for my phone to sit on while sewing when i’m watching a stream or smth so i took a break to make this silly little phone stand >.< just a simple rectangle folded over with the ends tucked in to make that dumpling shape. plastic beans in the bottom to weight it

how’s this??
November 12, 2025 at 9:55 PM
yeah i like that a lot more! alrighty!! @__@ a half inch bigger. but now they look a lot more proportional with the keychains and will prob be perceived as more valuable… silly
November 12, 2025 at 9:54 PM
haven’t attached keychain yet but.. should i make these like an inch bigger?.. it would certainly make them easier to sew. im keeping the pins this size but maybe a keychain should be larger >__>

oh nvm using the chopstick + thin metal drinking straw i got just for turning tiny things inside out makes it totally easy n____n first time trying that. feels way less likely to rip the fabric vs the fine point forceps i had been using too

okay this worked and RULED i was able to pull these SO FUCKING FAST. 53 prints in an hour and a half.. i am selling these (consistently!!) for $5 each HEEHOO!!! and/or working these into sewing projects at that value. im feeling so powerful (and also sore)

i keep saying “gay little monkey” in my head today bc i keep standing like this while i’m peering over the edge of my very tall table carefully inspecting my inked blocks
November 11, 2025 at 8:19 PM
ok pog. will see if this works in a bit!.. ofc as soon as i finished i realized if i made a jig that holds them all in a pleasing composition i could quickly pull paper prints lol.. adding that to the potential to-make list >___>

i got lobster clasps to make little keychain wristlets to go with my bags and first prototype one is p cute!! a bit lumpy as i learn how to manage these bulky seams but future ones will be neater i think. simple color blocking with gray denim inner is cuuute

finished piecing & ironing the tops for 25 mini fish today WOOHOO!!! in record time.. god having a rotary cutter & clear ruler makes the speed of cutting square things crazyyyy. here’s all the blocks + closeups of some fave combos

going absolutely crazy sorting all these pre-cut squares my friend gave me to pull out good fish pin/keychain colors and textures.. houugh. I LOVE SORTING COLORS
November 6, 2025 at 9:51 PM
omg i’m having so much fun. finally figured out exact measurements for making fish pins (was previously piecing and tracing in portions & trimming each piece to fit after each section) so i’m able to pre-cut a bunch of colors and then piece a whole block together SOOO EFFICIENTLY. YAY!!
November 6, 2025 at 8:14 PM
yeah alright
November 6, 2025 at 6:14 AM
cut out 100-something color squares for printing on, for bags & quilt block sewing & raw-edge patches WOOHOO!! I LOVE ROTARY CUTTER
