Anyone have any thoughts on a good quality natural fibre sewing thread? I have some projects I'm working on and want to dye with Procion but don't want undyed poly thread showing up in the mix. Linen? Cotton? Sources? Possibly in Canada?

Ok garbage lighting here but the tentacles are done!!
I know I have done well when I walk into the living room and my husband immediately chokes laughing.
Also? That feeling when you buy a bunch of buttons because they're so pretty and then never use them for anything because they don't go with what you're making? And then, years later? Vindication!

I didn't feel like trying the drawers on yesterday (I was cold and tired) so I threw caution to the wind and just finished them on without fitting... And thus it was only later that I remembered I couldn't just have a waistband that sits at the waist, but wanted one that sits on the high hip. And thus, I am now sending my regards to Sini of the Past while I unpick the waistband so I can add more length to it and regather the trouser legs on it again. 😆 Glad I used contrasting thread!
Les réalisations de septembre-octobre, pour le froid (blouson), la demi-saison (chemise), traîner à la maison mais être assez présentable si je dois descendre faire une course (pantalon).
Ok on to the eyeball.
Step 1: make a roller derby panty for my bike helmet. Fuck it, actually make two so I can…
Step 2: make one large eyeball and seven small eyeballs so the panty can be reversible because I’m extra af.
I had cut the irises and pupils as perfect circles (I have an accuquilt for the literal only purpose of cutting perfect circles) and then decided to use the flower shape for the pupils so it’s slightly irregular and looks not-quite-right. Then hand stitched the pupils to the irises to enhance the irregularity. Next will be sewing them onto the panty, hemming it, and it’ll be done.

I sewed a test version of the FibreMood Denver pattern using leftover vampire lips lycra from my scraps drawer, so now I have an easy, low impact sports bra for stretching, walking, and e-biking.

Hmm, find a free PDF bucket hat pattern, or design my own. 🤔 #sewing

This photo might show it a bit better.
Ok here’s something I’m real happy I figured out on the second tentacle and not the sixth. You can stuff it *while you turn it*…so you invert the tip, put a bit of stuffing in, push the tip further in, add some more fluff, and repeat until the whole thing is done. So much easier than trying to turn the whole thing right side out and then struggling to get the fluff down to the very tip.
Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Let's be honest - I mostly sewed this FibreMood Lara sweatshirt as a vessel for some htv I accidentally cut WAY too big over the summer! 🙈
Despite some awful instructions, I'll def sew this again - I love the oversized fit & the big kangaroo pocket!
