Knitting project by the window on a bus

Morning commute knitting 🧶 🚌 #placesyoucanknit #knitting @hfxtransit.bsky.social

So cute!

Definitely! It’s an organza jacquard from Longan Crafts. The flowers are pink metallic ✨ it sewed up really well, I didn’t find it finicky given that it has a bit of heft to it. Let me know if you have any specific Qs!

Fabric was gifted but they shared a 15% off code: ‘handmakin’

First try-on 👀 The #SAHopeWovenDress is done in this beautiful organza jacquard 🌺

It’s see-through in places so I’ve also sewed up a #SAJunoSlipDress to wear underneath (almost done here but desperately needs a press!)

Digital pink valentine that says: Hey valentine! I promise to never touch you fabric scissors. Like never ever.

Digital pink valentine that says: Hey valentine! I pre-washed your sewing fabric for you (followed with a very detailed explanation of how they adhered to the lengthy details provided)

Digital pink valentine that says: Roses are red, violets are blue, I look good in my handmade garment, umm yeah obviously

Digital pink valentine that says: I only have eyes for you. Two needles are visible with the eye part of the needle being prominent.
