Made a thing.
Made from a scrap salvaged from some worn-out work pants of mine from when I was a bartender. Practiced split-stitch, at which I am terrible. (It helped to think of it as kind of inside-out backstitch, but I have no idea how to accurately place the needle from the wrong side of the fabric; I constantly have to guess where it’s going to come out. There must be a trick, but I’m not good at it. Going in from the top was like… impossible? I don’t know. i’m bad at that sort of spatial reckoning.)
I was going to fill it in but you know, that seems kind of tedious. I think instead i’ll cut it out and blanket-stitch the edge, and then I’ll have a patch I can put onto… something. I don’t know yet.
I feel about a zillion times better for having made a thing, it’s incredible how soothing that is.
Probably took me 45 minutes of actual work. I traced around the insert of a mason jar lid, and freehanded the rest of the design. A non-wide-mouth jar, for scale.
