My Mum found me a vintage bobbin

my grandmother gave me a sewing/embroidery kit from the 1940s that I'll always treasure.

New project from the UT Lab! -http://bit.ly/1eommBC

 

Loved exploring the Steampunk subculture? Well, there's another exciting Victorian subculture that Artist Dani has taken on in this latest project from the Lab called Gothic Loli, featuring the new Gothic Gala designs.

So pretty! This makes me happy. Except the couple cones that are in the wrong spots.

Day 16 blue

365 days in colour

I've found that I have quite a lot of blue thread in the workbox, I shan't need to buy any for a long while.

Does anyone still mend clothes the old fashioned way?

Leftover thread from sewing

i crocheted these shawls out of quilting thread a couple of years ago and then never got around to blocking them or listing them till a customer asked about them recently, so i pulled them out to take pictures. i'd forgotten just how many i made! :lol: i'll be blocking them all this weekend and then listing them on etsy soon. if you are interested in any before that my email addy is in my profile.

Silver Thread Falls is the smaller of two falls at the Dingman's Falls area in Pennsylvania's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

 

This was shot under poor conditions for waterfall photos. Silver Thread is in a gorge that looks like something from Jurassic Park and it was early afternoon on a sunny day. The dappled light coming through the trees created an array of bright and dark spots. I don't think I would have had anything usable if not for making a 5-exposure series and blending it in HDR software (Photomatix).

4'' diameter, a learning ball

I have this thing for ripping and sewing back together. I went for a long walk today...(I was walking about 5 miles a day last spring and summer, but had to stop for various reasons and I'm starting that routine again) and I got to thinking about this dress I started ripping and sewing about a year and a half ago. I decided I would continue with this. It's a little ridiculous/inane and maybe that's part of the point, but I still feel compelled to do it. Now this may not seem like an earth-shattering decision but I think I've been trying to decide for the past year and a half whether to use different colored thread for the mending. (Haha- now you get a glimmer of the very silly kind of place my brain is.) Anyway, here are some images of the thing in some beautiful sunlight.

I scored a new job as a photographer/model for an up and coming local clothing company, MR.e Threads.

Colorful thread at the dry cleaners

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Large Patterned Komon. Komon are informal kimono worn at home and about town. They are essentially the jeans and t-shirt combo of the kimono world. The smaller the pattern on a komon, the more casual it is. This one has a large pattern, so it's a less casual piece. This kimono likely originates in the mid Showa Period (1926 - 1989). This komon has an abstract pattern that includes silver, laquered threads (urushi).

I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there are a few faint marks on the exterior. The lining is also heavily covered in patina. Overall I would rate this kimono as being in good vintage condition. There are no tears, holes or seam separations. I believe this garment is 100% silk.

MEASUREMENTS:150cm - Long (Collar to Hem)124cm - Arm span58cm - Width across the back124cm - Total width of skirt49cm - Sleeve drop

SIZING:If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 140cm (4'7") - 160cm (5'3") tall, with hips about 85cm (33.5") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

EMBROIDERY THREAD

embroidery threads are one of my favorite things!

Reproduction thread bobbins from the Mary Rose. The pigments would have been red lead and malachite in this case.

Finished the bottom half of the stitching

These are holders for potholders and I've only seen this kind that looks like a basket. Being a basket maker these are my favorites.
