✨🧵Thistle n Stitches 🪡✨

Ran out of time with both of these projects… but I had fun 🖤.

Finally snagged some good photos of my Qimir/The Stranger cosplay.

My spouse and friend helped me 3d print the mask and I stitched the kimono and Hakama, painted the mask, and made the foam arm bracer. All made over 6 days 😭.

This tradition every year??!! 🙂‍↕️🩸🖤

I need to size these up for a perfect fit but behold what is likely my new favorite pattern 😇.

Happy #caturday 😻, my sleepy helpers. #cats #sewingbuddy

Good Morning to these Valentine’s Day trunk hose I’m working on. I’m already obsessed and I’m only halfway through.

I’m hoping a lot of us follow through, it will be subtle but important at home action we can take.

Yes, I think the plan is pots on the lanais to start. Indoor Herbs is a good idea too. Ty!!

2025 goals: Community Garden, or at very least learning how to home garden to share with others.

Photos are of my grandparent’s backyard garden on Lomo Color Negative 400 film using my Canon AE1 Program.

“Don’t Open the Door”: How Chicago Is Frustrating ICE’s Campaign of Fear Months of know-your-rights work has Trump’s border czar complaining.

ICE director Tom Homan is complaining that Know Your Rights campaigns are making it harder to round up immigrants, telling CNN that in Chicago “they’ve been educated on how to defy ICE.” @rebeccaburns.bsky.social and I met with those gumming up the works of Trump’s mass deportation machine.

That’s such a big brain idea, perfect lighting with your jacket . 👏🏻

I haven’t started the Audiobook yet but I will keep this with me for that moment.

Relatable to most of my fabric purchasing attempts.

How you would feel if you could only find that non stretch sateen.

And yours too! Those Jeans you’re working on will be super cute!

Oh my gosh, if you haven’t seen Medieval Revival from the 70s.. that’s definitely something that sounds like we would both love.

That alone says to me that starting on it (even if you never follow through) is worth it.

Would be so fun!!

Love this! I am Lindsey or Thistle. I have not been able to focus my interests so any day I could be working on something vintage, historical, wearable cosplays, regular cosplays, or everyday makes. Exciting to be able to see what others are working on on a less curated platform.

🤩🤩

Hi 🦋, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lindsey, you can call me Thistle🖤. They/Them/Fae but I’ll answer to anything.

I 💖 sewing, reading, and amateur film photography. W/ lots of hyper focus fandom interest thrown in for fun. ✨

Both are cute, I always struggle with teeny buttons though. They never feel appropriate unless on sleeves or decorative.

I have been in such a creative slump since early December. I suppose that’s normal when work isn’t balancing, dealing with loss of a family member, and day to day life just continues on. Might as well add in the horrors that keep persisting. 😠😤 I’m claiming this weekend for crafting ONLY.
