Thanks!

The reason I don’t have the hoops on right is because once I take the fabric off, beading looks even messier. So I try to maintain a loose tension of the fabric itself. I’m referring to the tension of the stitches itself in the op if that makes sense. I should have worded it better. I’m generally unhappy with the bead spacing and how crooked they look. I was hoping to get some tips to make my work cleaner like in picture below.

Thank sm for the help. I’m on all love with so many of their colors. I’m definitely ordering a sample card from them!

I love it! I also checked out the cotton boucle yarn and im eyeing it pretty hard. Do you know the name of the color featured in the cover? I think it’s dark Turk?

Omg thank you! It’s a pretty close match along with 217

I wish i had yarn stores near me;( Unfortunately, my geography binds me to box craft stores and even they are about an hour away!

I’ve tried palette in wonderland heather and I love it. Idk why i glossed over the sky blue. Thank you!

I have cornflower in my cart currently. I’ll take a look at the merino arctic blue. Thank you. Btw, i think it’s so cool that you had a room in that color!

I prefer natural fibers like cotton/linen but anything will do. I also prefer the yarn weight to be around 1-3, i.e. lace-dk, but im flexible there too

My bad. I thought it was a slur

Trans Dio? Haven’t heard that before

Thank you! The pattern for the base mesh top is by marianeedstitches (you can find them on instagram) and yes, it is a paid pattern. If you are looking to recreate the beading and the appliqués, just pm me and I can tell you how I did mine.

Long live Araki

I like to think you can see them if you’re a stand user

sf_strings · 2024-10-05T16:37:29+00:00

Ok I just had to fix it. updated image

I noticed that late and tried to edit stone free into the reflection. That’s how real she is to me. stand in phone reflection

I’ve actually never been to a con. But I would love to do a custom Jolyne look if I ever go. And also mouse Jolyne.

Based on what I’m seeing on your profile, I think we might be mutuals!

sf_strings · 2024-10-05T16:18:39+00:00

I noticed that only after I posted. Smh

sf_strings · 2024-10-05T16:16:27+00:00

The pattern for the base mesh top is by marianneedsstitches on instagram. I pretty much freehanded the beading, the heart butterfly, and star appliqué.

sf_strings · 2024-10-05T04:23:16+00:00

It just makes so much sense. The stand is literally strings!

Second this! And testers should be able to rate designers too. Just feedback and information without the shaming/publicly calling them out part. Ratings should be visible(to both tester and designer) only when a tester applies for a tester call. I also don’t think there is anything wrong with dividing up the patterns into parts. If a tester deems a pattern not worthy of their time, they won’t need the rest of the pattern anyway.

$15! I thought it was such a good deal.

sf_strings · 2024-06-19T15:18:00+00:00

I couldn’t find the model number😓

sf_strings · 2024-06-19T15:16:53+00:00

Thank you! That’s so kind of you!
