Well I ran out of tshirt tubes so this is as big as it gets--about 24x20, so a good bath mat size. Twining uses substantially more material than regular weaving but it's nice and plush feeling

My favourite of our traditions is being a safe space for Trick-or-Treaters and decorating 💕

I'm so proud of our kids 🥹
For our PA Day Camp on Friday, we made up some cardboard looms and taught them bead weaving with pony beads. This took patience, this took dexterity, and this took vision - all things we've found Gen alpha struggle with and 👏they👏showed👏up!

#makerspace #handsonlearning
Two woven bead patterns made with pony beads. the one on top has a rainbow thread warp with light green, blue, and yellow pony beads woven onto the warp in a repeating checker pattern. This piece is in progress. The second design uses white beads in the background and creates letters, each with a single colour; 'C' in red, 'H' in orange, 'L' in yellow, 'O' in green, and 'E' in blue. The warp threads are black and the weft threads are rainbow.

So I learned a new pop-tab weave recently and I absolutely love it! I've been testing it with leather rope, ribbon, upcycled rickrack, and bias tape and seeing what holds up best.

#upcyledart #ecofriendly #solarpunkfashion #diyFashion #diycrafts
a wrist wears two bracelets made from pop-tabs also known as. aluminum tabs. The first has woven together from aluminum tabs laid flat with two mango yellow leather cords weaving the two layers of tabs together. The second chain is made from linked aluminum tabs, 4 tabs make each link and attach to the next 4 in the chain. Bellow the arm wearing the bracelets is another woven pop-tab bracelet in progress woven with black ribbon.

October programming dropped! We' kinda Halloween obsessed 🦇 We've got lots of sewing, crafting, and some special events planned for you this spooky season 😁
Title page for Mischief Makers' events and workshops for October. On the right you see stripes of the Mischief Makers colours. The top of the poster has the word 'Autumn' brushed on in purple ink with a green spider web behind it. The web and 'Autumn' title sit on top of the Mischief Makers logo. Bellow are blue bat's flying over a white background and the words 'Events and Workshops' brushed on in purple. The right corner has a qr code, and the footer of the poster has the address and website for Mischief Makers: 247 Coxwell Ave, Upper Beaches Toronto, mischiefmakers.ca

Friday's pop-tab jewelry workshop went great. We had a few last minute sign ups, so we ran it.

Admittedly, I've been exhausted and feeling really down lately, but teaching and crafting with these folks was exactly what I needed.

so Ive been trying to make at least one side of this seemless, as in do a darn from the back to there's no bump on the edges of the mend and the hole. I think I did okay first time around. On the back I couldn't think of how to do it seemless again but not look.. messy. So I relented and did a patch
a woven blanket with a hole has a verticle warp of threads on a brown, green, and white weave. The warp is more golden than it is brown so it stands out slightly from the surrounding pattern. The blanket's flower pattern has a sloppy over under weave running through it where the hole once was. An elegant green and white zig-zag pattern has been woven over the back of the same hole on the blanket. It's edges are clean and the pattern stands out on top of the reverse flower pattern from the front of the blanket.

He's helping.
...
Finally started the mend on my sisters campfire blanket. I'm starting with the small holes to get used to mending something like this. Its three layers of Yarn in the weave which Ive never worked on before. Im challenging myself to make both sides seamless if I can #visiblemending
A grey and white cat sits like a loaf on top of a woven blanket with scattered holes in it. A book on darning lies open on the blanket and a needle and threaded with warn has started created a the warp of a weave over one of the holes, but the cat is either oblivious of the work being done, or just doesn't care and wants to be close. A yellow brown yarn is woven through a blanket over a hole in the weave. The brown c Yarn is a little more golden than the burlap like brown woven into the green, brown, and white woven floral pattern.

I think this is my favourite thing ever made at one of our summer camps!

Last week was Summerween Camp so our younger kids made low poly animal masks, and our older kids made huge cardboard masks from scratch 🎃

#summercamp #diyproject #diycrafts #makerspace #diycrafts
a child wears a cardboard mascot like mask about 4 times the size of their head. The mask is round has a large mouth, which the wearer can see through, with square teeth of varying lengths. The eyes on the mask are huge, circular, and white, with tiny pin pick pupils.

Actually had a moment between teaching and business stuff to complete a personal project this summer! I found a free pattern online for this (link in thread), so I made a little gift for Jenna

"...people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create..."

This is LITERALLY what the internet used to be. The whole fucking thing. Every piece of it. Stem to stern. That sentence right there. We were just on here, doing stuff, just to share with each other.

I've been off work since Monday and today is the first time it actually felt like it. I spent part of the afternoon practicing sewing buttons on my flower combat pants.

#mendingmatters #makerspace #handsonlearning #visiblemending #handsewing
behind a white button on camo patterned pants you can see the thread wrapped around the base of the four threads holding on the button. The wrap helps keep the button tight while also maintaining a small distance between the pocket and pocket flap when closed. Pictured are two bright mismatched buttons on camouflage cargo pants pockets. The buttons are white and a marigold yellow.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice
Screenshot: No room for wokeness! @Wokenessisevil Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment. [photos show Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Alan Ritchson (Reacher) with ripped muscles]

If you know me at all you know I love a craft meet, and collage is one of my favourite activities to run. It's so simple and accessible, but the ceiling of what you can create is endless.
Heres a few of the pieces made last night 💕

#craftmeet #makerspace #diycrafts #craftytoronto
A collage of a woman standing beside her horse, but their heads have been swapped. The figures are laid on a sky of textured paper, one piece is bubble painted, and other are torn blue or white pieces. The piece is mounted on the centre of a doily. The letters for the word SOAR look like wooden scramble tiles and are mounted on a field of combed blue with a torn strip of yellow cutting through. Surrounding the letters are a number of yellow and orange butterfly silhouettes Locke Cole from Final Fantasy 6 is crouched with his daggers out and is outlined in gold acrylic pen. Behind his head is a Victorian style purple heart with a pink outline and white roses laid inside. Behind Locke is a cut out doily which covers the corner of the background, a blue painted texture, and a torn piece of textured paper with Violet and pale blue diamonds that create an interlocking pattern. The figure of Locke is surrounded by three 60's style colourful flower silhouettes. This collage is made up of a number of dinosaur stickers layered over one another. The dinosaurs include the Tricératops, raptors, brontosaurus, and arcteryx. There is also a scribbled blue face with blue hair, outline, and red eyes and mouth. Stickers on the right side write the word 'DINOSAUR' vertically.

First big mending project, excited and apprehensive!
It's a poly wool blanket of my sisters that she got too close to a campfire with. She asked me to mend it for her for her birthday.
