I don’t have an ID for it I’m afraid, but I think it might be partially how the plant grows, and partially too much water. See the other comment on the thread: get a different soil that dries faster, make sure to have holes at the bottom of the pot, water less.
I second this opinion, albeit with less fancy words ^^’ also feeling sillly that I did not catch it on my own.
Do you think the one by the window is doing better because more sunlight helps it dry faster ?
Succulents are a big group of plants, and aloe just a part of it, but they broadly need the same kind of care: lots of light, not too much water.
How big does it get ? That looks a bit like a baby plant, which is a more difficult to ID.
Some plants are leggy like that, but sometimes it’s a lack of light. Does it grows toward the window ?
Great idea, pattern design and execution ! (see I am also commenting twice)
I am also weary of picking old projects back up. But most of the time, the fix isn’t as bad as I thought, so go for it !
Also a coat ! to me, that’s an ambitious project !
Some nice matching clothes for the family, that sounds really fun ! I agree on linen for warm weather, I have (too) few things as well and they are my favourite in the summer.
It sure does ! Now you can clutter the space with something new, and in the meantime, be really motivated to do new things ! At least that’s how I would do it.
Yes, there are tears and holes behind the stitches. I didn’t back it with anything, just whipped stitched the holes shut and added some extra stitches where I felt it might fray open. This is just a tote bag and usually they aren’t filled with much so I’m not too worried. And if it still breaks, well, it’s just a tote bag, my friend probably has replacements.
I know those braids ! I never has the patience to finish them but they do look cool.
I actually have a theory, but I am way too unknowledgeable about the topic to make any precise prediction.
Do you have any tote bag in need of repair ? :) If you look closely at mine, you can see that it’s not perfect, fishbone stitch is forgiving.
Also, satin stitch is deceptively hard, you need perfect tension all the way, I don’t like it.
It looks perfect from here ! And practical, which is great !
Welcome ! May I suggest not trying to buy all of the things in one go before you start anything ? There are lot’s of things around to help you sew, but very few are necessary and not all will be helpful to you.
Also do ask questions and share your things :)
I believe some painter said you can go to the paint store, and they have 100 different shades of greens, and not the one you want. So that tracks. And no, I don’t remember who that was or googled it properly.
It’s so cute ! The colours are really nice, it has a bit of a stardew valley vibe, I think. Don’t mention the lack of shadow, nobody notices.
It has a fun topstitching too, I can’t wait to see it when it’s done !
Ooh, we don’t see a lot of quilts on fedi (at least I don’t). What pattern or colours does it have ?
Here is one of my favourite stitching ressource: https://www.needlenthread.com/videos
If you can do a half decent backstitch then you should try pekinese stitch (the outline of the plate).
The sponge cake is made of bayeux stitch which is really fast to make ! But relies on satin stitch which is deceptively difficult.
The knitted looking one is not quite a detached buttonhole filling, also sometimes detached blanket stitch.
Also used: seed stitch, satin stitch and hungarian braided chain stitch.
Not quite the cherry on top, but I agree, it was a bit empty without it. Let’s just say it’s an organic strawberry 😅
sounds really nice ! I would take part in that.
