#ThrowbackThursday to my second flat felt plushie I created 2 years ago when I had just come up with the concept and the name “Pocket Pals” and I was still very new to sewing, having started 2 months earlier.
The stitching is wonky, the thread I used for the embroidery and assembly was way too thick, but I actually still really love this little guy! I think the overall design is pretty well made!

A small handmade felt rat plushie held in front of a white wall. The rat is white with a dark grey spot covering it’s head, plus another hears-shaped one on it’s lower back. It has pink ears and nose and a small dot for a white eye. On its butt are embroidered simple green plants.

Last year I made Drifloon winter hat, the first Pokemon-themed winter hat I've made for myself!

It felt good to refamiliarize myself with sewing. Making a pom pom that stays (mostly) together was the most difficult part of the entire project somehow lol.

The last time the U.S. economy really hit the skids these flour sacks were doubly useful!

"The Roaring Twenties, a period marked by a lack of inhibitions and decadent consumerism, saw American culture flourish. The government’s interference in business was low at this point due to a laissez-faire mindset.

"But this was a dangerous game, and when compared to the following decade, the contrast is striking. After the Great Depression of 1929, households were left to fend for themselves, resulting in a “Do it Yourself” mentality. …

"This wasn’t the first-time flour bags were reused. Cotton fabrics were repurposed into sacks that farmers would tie to their horses to transport grains to be processed. Tablecloths, diapers, and other home items were also made from the bags by seamstresses. Why spend money on cotton when you already have some lying around?

"Soon after, flour manufacturers began to notice the growing trend among the general public. They recognized a chance to profit from this new trend. Various companies started printing attractive patterns and designs on the bags to appeal to people of various ages, genders, and interests. Companies didn’t stop at merely printing attractive graphics on the sacks; they also supplied instructions."

Have been slowly sewing the two new linen shifts, and boy was it time to... On the left, the nice new shift with its hand finishing in progress. On the right, a poor old one, fresh from the wash so I can repurpose the still good fabric, absolutely falling apart!

A nice and aesthetic photo of the hand sewing process of finishing the seam allowances of a garment made out of nothing but white linen squares and rectangles. There is minute straight stitch making up the seam, and tidy but not incredibly dense whipstitch felling the seam allowance, which has been folded under once to hide all raw edges. The fabric is quite lovely, with natural variation typical of linen. It's such a sparkling white that Sini's fingernails look rather yellow in comparison. White linen thread in the eye of a curved, long needle.

On a drying rack, there is a profusion of white linen, none of it yet ironed. The sleeve of a linen shift is held to show to the camera. On the sleeve there are some six spots where the fabric has just completely given up, torn and frayed away into nothing. The sleeve itself has also ripped away from the body. This is what we could call an improbable mending job, as pretty much all of the fabric would need to be replaced!

A pencil case with an elastic made at work! The material is samples of what is probably table cover material, 100% polyester, had a waxy feel to it and a bit sheer. I had fun mixing the pastelly colours and deciding what product to make out of them! The white back is the same material, just a larger piece. Lining is an old pillow case. Pretty much everything at work is donated, so it's another entirely recycled product!

Had to fiddle around a bit cause I used a too short zipper. 😅

I’ve been desperately trying to assemble all the items I have already cut the felt for ages ago. Once that’s done, I will need to remake some keychains. THEN, I will finally be able to start working on my little magnets!
I swear I am so excited to drop them but my part time job takes up most of my mornings and it’s slowing me down so much :blobugh:

Two little felt beetles on a branch, surrounded with leaves. One beetle is pink and blue, the other one is blue and orange. It’s their first date. Their horns are almost touching, you can feel the electricity in the air.

My relationship to finishing the shoulder seams on yoked shirts with camp collars is similar to the one I have with spelling “occasionally.” No matter how many times I’ve done it, I invariably get it wrong on the first try. But the pleated front shirt is coming along nicely otherwise! #sewing
