  3. Couldn't wait any longer to tell you. I wrote a book! Knitting for Radical Self-Care: A Modern Guide is being published by @abramsbooks and will be available where books are sold Fall 2021!! 😭 ⁣ ⁣ Writing this book in 2020, it evolved into so much more than a knitting how-to pattern book. The weight of all we were experiencing together in every part of the world pushed me to create a body of work designed to be both a respite from our collective grief and an exploration of how to take better care of ourselves so we are more capable of taking care of each other. It's a liberation guide on how to harness our creativity and power. This is one of the patterns in the book called the Dawn Cowl inspired by Octavia Butler. A celebration of a new beginning in a future of our own making 🌱⁣ ⁣ Did you know I was a cliff jumper? I love high jumps into deep bodies of water. My approach to life in this moment is very much like one big leap just as the light fills the sky. My heart is so open, adrenaline pumping, excited for the journey back to shore. And it was this project that encouraged me to take the leap and go for my wildest dreams. ⁣ ⁣ I am on that shore. The fullest, most joyous and creative version of myself is awaiting me there. I'm using every stroke I’ve learned to reach her. She's always been here calling to me, encouraging me to rest, writing to me, sitting with me as I knit. When I ask for help she's always been there with a mantra. I wrote this book for her. I wrote this book for you. And I am rooting for you to make it. For those of us finding our way back to being with ourselves, to rediscovering our purpose, our history and our passions. ⁣ ⁣ I wrote this book to remind you that you are your own lighthouse, bright and necessary, guiding yourself to shore 🌊

  3. Hi! It’s me! I took an unexpectedly long break from gird posting (unfortunately not from scrolling 🙃) and I have a surprising amount of new faces! Hi! I’m Jessamy, and I’ve been winning at thread chicken for about 10 years. 🧵🐥🏆 I really like to sew, and knit and I’m learning to spin. I basicially really like to make stuff with all the fibers. That’s why I’m here! I don’t consider myself a content creator or an influencer, I’m a maker. And I mainly make things for myself. Truthfully, I can be a bit chaotic in my makes sometimes. I’m not the best wardrobe planner, and am not a minimalist or capsule wardrobe person. I sometimes think I’d like to be, but I am easily distracted🙃 I like neutrals, I like brights (obvi) and I love gingham. So, if you’re here for all that, welcome! Say hi! {I’m also a long caption writer, and I know most people don’t read it, but I can’t help myself} So, it’s still hot, and summers not *actually* over, so I decided to fire up my machine and sew a #tateromper I haven’t sewn anything for myself in over a month and this was the perfect weekend project. Happy, fun, oh so comfy with just the slightest bit of clown vibes? I’m in 🤡 Sewing Deets: Tate Romper by @smallmuseum_ & @jessilous_closet I sewed the 4 for my 33ish” bust. I made a few slight mods; took 3” off the straps and sewed them slightly wider plus added some interfacing to them. I also took 1.5” out of the bodice and 1.5” off the legs. My guess is that I need to make a little tee to wear under, because I can see I’ll need to wear this all through fall. The fabric is a linen table cloth I found on sale from JCrew earlier this summer, and it is shockingly nice! #isew #isewmyownclothes #sewover40 #sewistsofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower #memade

  3. (CW: NSFW If you’re my family don’t look at this thanks) Hiiiii happy Sunday! Please feast ur eyes on this sizzling hot piece of knitwear I made for @otherworldlyartscollective Safeword 2025. It’s called “As Long as it Ends in Your Mouth” (which is something the actual Domino’s pizza box actually says Lololol). I have always found the innuendos in their branding quite amusing, and the Safeword show was the perfect opportunity to showcase the piece! I didn’t make it to the show but wow! Did it look amazing <3 thanks to otherworldly for putting it on. This little vest was super fun for me to make and conceptualize! And it’s silly! It’s sexy! But at the same time it really is an exploration of the way advertisement permeates every aspect of our lives. Selling us sex very obviously, and yet society is punishing us as women, queer people, etc, for the way we express ourselves and our sexualities. So yeah this fun sexy lil piece is a celebration, a pizza party, a sexy lil time, while also making the covert innuedos, overt — if you will. (Although in the case of the domino’s branding, it’s really not subtle at all). I also love to ask the view to question their own assumptions around hand-knitting and other hand-crafting skills (specifically textiles). Why can’t it be horny? Why can’t it have a realistic d*ck on in it? It’s not a dying craft, and “feminine” crafts don’t inherently lack sexuality, even when they don’t have d*cks on them. K thanks! Bye! Stay sexy.
