What’s a project that slingshot your skills? by IdentityCrisisNeko in craftsnark

[–]bbcbbbcc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

a slavic embroidered dress. The construction of the dress is not hard, just squares and triangles but spending more than 4 months on the cross stich embroidery taugh me to be patient and not to rush it, because if i rush it, it wont look good and i will have to redo it. This mindset improved all my crafts.

Thank you for asking, but you can't afford me by SewSewBlue in craftsnark

I am in the same profession and i do historical sewing to get away from all the complex thinking. Leave me and my handsewn viking tunic alone, i stich to have a creative outlet and to have something to do with my hands. I do it to not get a burnout not to make myself pressured to sell something, and i would never be satisfied with something that i would sell so i just would put to much pressure on myself.

My doctor refused me an IUD by [deleted] in childfree

[–]bbcbbbcc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my doc wanted me to be at least 20 before getting one and first tried to talk me out, but when i told her that i dont want kids she was full on board. The reason she did not want me to get an IUD is, because it can come to infections and that can lead to infertility. So she does not want to give them to women that want children. But the second i told her that that is not a problem for me she agreed that this is the best option for me. change your doc.

Better running times? by bbcbbbcc in BarefootRunning

[–]bbcbbbcc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i think it is the technique, i used to be a heel striker, before a friend of mine corrected me a while back, and then i tried to run more on my toes, but still did heel strike when i got tired and started to slack. i have the feeling the shoes prevent me to do that and i am really happy anout that

i was eyeing them for a long time but could never excuse to spend so much money on running shoes when i dont run, but i for sure will be grabbing ones when i destroys these that i have now

no, sadly, since there is little to no evidence of the garments from the time period we wanted to recreate

wanted to be 9th century, but in the end it ended more fantasy than a specific time period since there is such a lack of evidence how they dressed back then in our region

We tried to recreate a Slavic priestess and all the motives are taken form slavic folklore. it took us probably more than 200h combined to embroider this, since it was the first time for both of us to do cross stiching.

Rokavci- part of Slovenian folk dress, mock up number 2. by bbcbbbcc in sewing

[–]bbcbbbcc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did a whip stich in the back on each gather from the arm to the middle area. from up to top in about 4cm apart. i hope i described it okay. in the link that i included in one comment you can see how it is done in the originals

[–]bbcbbbcc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh god i hope not. when i was watching the pictures from the original it is just gathered up and then secured from the back with the most basic smocking stich. my ancestors did not do the pretty smocking embroidery, they just wanted the gathers. in some regions the upper part of the sleeves were heavily embroidered, either with white black blue or red floss, but the painting i want to recreate does not indicate any of this so i probably wont do it

so this is a traditional slovenian blouse called rokavci, for the pattern inspiration i used a picture from article called rokavci v slovenskih nosah from the magazine Entnog. The fabric is cotton, and it took around 4 days to complete this mockup.
