I forgot to officially share a link to the new video yesterday! Happy late Halloween! (You can also find my channel through the link in my profile)

Wirt is ready for a party! I'll share a picture of Greg later if he allows it. 😅

(Hat made by me, skirt modified to fit better)

A white woman wearing a red cone hat, black shirt with a blue cardigan on top and a blue and red checkered pleated skirt.

Spent 6 hours making this today, and it's... not great, but at least it's done 😂

A stuffed toy frog sitting on a white and black ironing board. The frog is made from cotton in two shades of green and it's got appliqued eyes.

The world truly lost something when I decided to not follow my more artistic inclinations.

A photo of a computer screen with GIMP open. On the screen there's a side-by-side image of the frog from Over the Garden Wall and a plush frog that's been badly recoloured to look like the animated frog. It's sort of terrifying.

I'm want to keep myself accountable about YouTube and post every two weeks, but trying to balance that with rest is surprisingly difficult! Today I compromised by filming a little bit and explaining what the next step is, so I don't have to do that later, and decided to just film the next bit without sound when I have the energy for it. Filming without sound is easier, because then I don't mind if my partner is around. I do not want him around when I need to talk, I feel way too self conscious. 😅

With all that being said, Greg's tea kettle is coming out well! I'm proud of it. 😁

Viscose blouse.

Made inspired by a RTW blouse from a brand I like, it came out very close to the inspo's shape!

Pattern for the main body is Helsinki by Les Lubies de Cadia, butterfly sleeves taken from a pattern by Finnish indie brand Jujuna. (I got them with a sewing magazine subscription that shared the pattern, SK 5/24)
Main fabric is second hand, collar facing bought new. Both viscose.

You can see a brief making of -video of this blouse on my YouTube channel, link to linktree in my profile, or go to https://youtu.be/LgRQdaAIPag

A white woman with long brown hair and round glasses. She's wearing a green and black checkered blouse with white and yellow flowers and has her hand lifted up to her shoulder to show off the shape of the butterfly sleeve. The collar of the blouse is black and it's hidden underneath the womans hair. The blouse is tucked into a black skirt on the waist.

The same woman with her body facing towards the right to show the side view of the blouse.

The same woman with her back to the viewer. The blouse has a back yoke and a box pleat at the center back, it's tucked into a black skirt on the waist.

Front view of the blouse, untucked. You can see the collar's pointed shape a bit better. The fit is slightly boxy.

Huh. Just 1 video in but I'm already excited about the projects I want to capture the making of for YouTube and am actually _planning_ when to make them.

I knew it's a good way for an ADHDer to channel their focus but I didn't think it would happen so quickly* or manifest in this way.

*With some reservations about whether this will last more than a couple of weeks or months.

I got grey wool to try to make Greg's elephant head with. Let's see how this goes, I'm planning to hand stitch it together. 👀

New instance #introduction !

Hello, I'm Asta! I've been a crafter and a reader for as long as I can remember, and while I can confidently say that my current genre of choice is scifi, I couldn't pick which form of craft is my favourite. I'm most likely to be working on garment #sewing, #knitting or #crochet, but there's also a high chance of other forms of making when the mood hits.

I live in Finland with my British partner and a shetland sheepdog that may or may not be our Beloved Child.

I've recently started a YouTube channel for crafty making and will be using the tag #astamakes to share projects related to it, do with that information what you will! You can find the link to my channel and other places (like Threadloop and Storygraph) through my profile. (I'll upload on MakerTube as well at @astamakes as soon as I get round to it.)

I'll add some keywords in a reply!
