#sewandtell Week 7 - Scary
The weekly sewing Prompt game
🧵
Do you sew for Halloween?
Personally I rarely have such seasonal projects.
So I'm telling you about sewing stuff that scares me.
🧵

A drawing with fabric paint and some sewn on details on a tote bag.
The drawing shows a bookshelf with some Ghibli movie details.
Next to the shelf is Kiki's broom and Jiji sits ontop of the shelf.
In the shelf are some earth coloured books and two stacks of books in ace and bi colours.
Some soot spirits with little purple and pink stars, a little totoro, a robot helmet (Castle in the sky), a noface mask and princess mononoke's mask are throughout the shelf.
Eyes and some other details are sewn on.

Wouldn't call it spooky in any way, but Liv said pumpkins are ok for #showmeyourknits spooky week.
🧶
The bigger one is free style cable knit from leftovers. And I already showed the small one for #crochetaway, but it fits even better this week and they look nice together.

A table display with some chestnuts, walnuts and a quince next to two handmade orange-red pumkins the smaller one is crochet with a wheat stitch and the bigger one is cable knit.

This leftover brick red yarn was just too perfect for a pumkin.
🧶
I ran out of yarn, so it's just a lttle one.

Scary indeed 💜
Glad you found a new purpose for this beautyful fabric.

I was especially scared to mess up Jiji's eyes.

He is painted in black, his eyes are sewn on.

#sewandtell
I procrastinated finishing this picture for some time.
So I decided to sew the rest instead of painting.
But sewing on such tiny fabric pieces is kind of scary to me.
Worked better than I hoped it could.
And even used a decorative stitch setting of my machine for once.
2/3

Detail picture showing the noface mask and a soot spirit.
The red markings on the mask are sewn on and the soot spirit has sewn on eyes and some stitched on stars.

The numbers certainly help. I'm a bit split on the seam allowenances. The most anoying is, when you can't find the infomation if it is included or not.
This specific pattern wants me to add 1,5cm (for no reason) seam allowance, so guess it's easier to change that, when I need to add it myself.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 6d

Yes, same 💜

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 7d

yes, a bit like these labyrinth picture where you have to find the right pass, but expert level.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 7d

I think Burda is mostly popular in Germany. Not my favorite patterns to work with (they tend to overcomplicate the instructions), but about 8€ for that many patterns is a good deal.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 7d

It's a burda style pattern sheets. Each magazin has about 40 patterns, wich are printed on four of these sheets.
So it's round about 10 patterns on this sheet.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 7d

It's time to decipher the pattern sheet and hopefully trace the right one. 🧵

#crochetaway wants spooky Halloween makes.

I made this little ace-popsicle-ghost, but I guess, the only scary part is, that he desperately needs a dentist appointment.

I was so delighted, when I realised that this floral fabric would be perfect for a cute wheelchair.

The wheelchair is also made with fabric. The wheel is pink, white and grey dotted fabric with a maschine embroidered flower

Never thought about that, but i guess it could be simular with german thrift stores. Since toys need to be certified in germany.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 10d

Depending on how old your sons are and how sentimental these soft toys are, maybe keep them a bit longer?
When I moved out having my Teddy was a piece of comfort in a new city, where I didn't know anyone.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 10d

Thank you
I picked them as a teenager at a local yarn spinner/dyer.
And still love them.

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 11d

I ended up doing a mix of A and C and and added a small pocket.

#showmeyourknits wants autumn this week.
So I sketched out my knitting plans.
🧶
The jumper and the vest are there for inspiration.
Both made by my mum. And I'm going to use the leftover wool from the jumper.

Some sketched designs for a three color knitted vest.
On the bottom row are two inspo pictures next to the sketches
One shows an islandic jumper made with the some wool I want to use, the other one shows a knitted vest simular in shape

It's joy and care week for #showmeyourknits
🧶
For me knitting is selfcare.
In this project I'm useing the leftovers from a jumper my mum made for me a long time ago. And wich still brings me joy.

Your pet "helping" you sew does absolutely count for this weeks #sewandtell Animals Theme 😉

Rrhiza @rrhiza.bsky.social · 21d

I wanted to do some sewing, but my "roommate" here didn't understand why I would destroy a perfectly fine "blanket"
🧵
I'll show you what I made (after negotiations to get my fabric back) tomorrow in #sewandtell

Sadly I couldn't make it bigger from the inside.
And of course I made a second one for my Granny Square Project.
