Pattern notes

The hooded lace two piece is versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the weather or occasion. Using natural fibers like Drops Alpaca keeps you warm with minimal effort but if u live in a warmer climate you might want to use cotton or acrylic yarn. The lace pattern will have u glued to this project and it creates a gorgeous scalloped hemline. 

The top is worked in the round from bottom up. Front and back are separated at the underarms and worked flat. shoulders are joined with three-needle bind-off. Stitches for hood are picked up and worked in flat, separated into three equal parts, decreased and bound off.

 i have a blogpost sitting in my drafts from my birthday. i should post it but i feel like too much time has passed what’s the point. 

writing this because i don’t want what happened to happen again. overthinking blogposts like they’re going in a magazine. i’m just typing directly into my phone. no editing on this one. i want motivation to write here because i think i’ll look back at this blog and remember. but it’s hard typing in this tiny screen since i dont own a laptop. 

i’m working on a commission. i don’t get them as often as i wish but when i do, it’s unbelievable and the response i get when people receive and wear their garments is really what keeps me going no matter how long i go putting things out and getting no feedback. 

i’m writing a pattern on the piece and it’s honestly fucking difficult cus there’s errors in it and i’m not sure i have enough followers to put out a tester call. i think i’ll just upload it here when i’m done and update it whenever i figure out how to scale up and down the pattern. i don’t think that would be difficult. what i’m struggling the most with is the explanation/correct grammar. i’m not very good at explaining. but the video for the lace pattern i used was easy to follow so i hope people find it easy to follow too, the pattern

i got this really gorgeous fabric, it feels like a rug. i tried making a dress with it but i found it was too itchy and hot so i tore it up. i’m in the process of making messenger bags with it. i have a lot left and i think i might make a set and use a lining. i want to make a skirt and i have a clear picture of what i want it to look like but no explanation in mouth. no idea for what i want with the top. 

i have a lot to work on. the beads in my drawer. the stand with rain and sun. the jute bag. the rug. the underwear. the chiffon. the bed. the ends. the legs. 

i know this is short but thank you for reading. i love you 

first entry :)

hello everyone! thank you for coming to read my blog. i hope you enjoy. 

i have started over so many times it fills me with shame doing this again but i cannot give up until it is over and i am done. i will never be done and so i will never give up. it’s sad when i put a lot of thought into it but days go by so fast i won’t even have the time to.

i have had a lot of bad years and i was sure this one would be different; it wasn’t, and i know it’s not over yet + anything can happen but there’s only four  months left in the year. i try to be optimistic, i really do. 

it is difficult not to feel like you wasted yet another year of your life because not much has changed. i thought i’d be healthier, happier, wealthier and at peace but i cannot dare to say that i am. i got lonelier and more existential. 

i started a journal on the first day of the year and i could barely keep up. i try to tell myself i don’t have to do what i don’t want to do but where do i draw the line. the line between doing what your spirit tells you and having no discipline is incredibly thin and i don’t know what to do. i hope i am not making too many damaging mistakes. 

i turn 22 on the 17th of december and i hope i have the courage to celebrate myself this year because i don’t remember the last time i acknowledged my new age. i feel like i am rambling at this point but i guess this is how it’s  is supposed to be? i don’t know how articulate a blog post is meant to be but i will end it here because i got distracted

THANK YOU FOR READING. it is really brief but i hope u liked listening to my thoughts  :)
