I need to sew an oval into two layers of silk. The oval will be cut after and used as the earpiece cover on my embroidered headphones. I want the double layer to reinforce the silk edge, but I keep getting boobs! How do I make this stay flat?

All the pieces for my first home assembled zipper have arrived. I broke down and used etsy even though they treat sellers like crap because idk how else to find these things in less than industrial gross amounts otherwise.
Now to decide which pull for the iPad case...

My response was too long, and it lost the right tone when split.
I'm blue af, and I'm pissed at my neighbors because I voted FOR their interests even though they voted against my rights. That said, a ton are seeing the light and we need to have the patience to teach them how the light is good.

Tonight is the last warm night before the first cold snap. The moon is huge and yellow, my window are open and candles lit, and I finished four #HandEmbroidery jewelry sets. It feels so nice to have another project completed. Tomorrow, I do more experiments with the silk for my headphones!

Did you find a lap craft? I've been thinking about sending you an embroidery kit, either pre-made or just stuff in a box and a link to my pinterest board where I get all my stitches. I mean, you can do this!

It is! Look at the match to that stone! It's the lining of my earpad on my headphones and the inside of the iPad sleeve I'm making.
I'm going to request USPS or stfu.

Did I mention that I'm building a custom zipper for my #HandEmbroidery project? Bought the blue and bronze zipper tape to match the opalite silk, a skull zipper stop, and a Hamlet skull zipper pull. I've not built a zipper before, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I always do.
Omg I love embroidery.

This is effective. Interns don't want to be tried by The Hague. Without interns, politicians get swamped easily.

Hey, so supporting this economy and the oligarchs sucks, especially for Christmas. If I set up a twitch stream to teach you all how to do plant #HandEmbroidery, or #embroidery of skeletons *in* plants, would you want to show up?
Please share this post to show interest. I'd love to share my skills.

Getting ready to embroider some 12mm circles for earrings! I'm so excited that my friend invited me to her craft fair booth focusing on upcycled fabric. I'm using scrap for my #HandEmbroidery, as well as old shirts and jeans. #Embroidery freaking rules in its malleability. #WIP #craft

I haven't been able to work on my #HandEmbroidery project for TWO DAYS and I'm buggin. Today, I think I may do it in-between every task, like a little #embroidery treat.

And those ribbons? Those are the visible edge of the earpads. I'm also making a matching iPad sleeve, and I got some mulberry silk that matches the opalite EXACTLY.

That feeling when you order an impossible product and it's the exact thing that you wanted.
I ordered some color-shift mulberry silk to match the opalite stones. Light blue and gold yellow was an impossible ask, and I found 1 vendor on Etsy (ugh) who makes it. Matching was a long shot.

I love doing school pickup up now that I 1) Don't have to get out of the car, 2) Have the time to leave early enough to get a good spot, and 3) Have started bringing a #HandEmbroidery piece to work on. I don't even notice the time passing or the world on fire.
