LC @makemorecareless.com · 05/09/2026the pattern, if you’re interested: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...ravelry.comGalaxy pattern by Regina SattaThis pattern is availabe in english and german (both are fully charted with written directions) 020
LC @makemorecareless.com · 05/09/2026what’s on my needles? the beginnings of a pair of Galaxy Gloves in what I think is madelinetosh merino light + glitter. except without the beads because I don’t have any and I can’t be bothered to wait for any :D #showMeYourKnits 🧶 1251
LC @makemorecareless.com · 14/08/2026oh sorry, I meant it was a top I bought from a shop ready-made! I could have been clearer there. a top pattern I do like is butterick B4685, but that’s a very different style - easy and effective though! 110
LC @makemorecareless.com · 14/08/2026sort of! it’s based on a top I already had, with a few tweaks :) 110
LC @makemorecareless.com · 03/08/2026for the sake of my garden I’ve been trying to induce some rain by making increasingly unhinged summerwear, culminating in this floaty white sundress. really thought this would do the trick and a downpour would come to spite me, but apparently not! ☀️ #sewSky 0160
LC @makemorecareless.com · 25/07/2026dunk the empty one in a bowl of water and see if bubbles come out! 120
LC @makemorecareless.com · 25/07/2026wore this into town today and a total stranger stopped me to tell me how much she liked it and best of all… asked where I got it from I got to do the FULL ‘oh, thanks, actually, I made it’ routine 🥹🥹🥹 my ego is never going to recover 1160
LC @makemorecareless.com · 24/07/2026*ahem* as I was saying, a single metre of a ludicrous print 😎 080
LC @makemorecareless.com · 22/07/2026I went for a stress-walk this evening and lo; this ginger angel appeared and escorted me across the place of wild beasts and fowl (aka that bit with cows by the canal that freaks me out a bit but was actually empty at the time) 040
LC @makemorecareless.com · 20/07/2026(we’ll gloss over how I had to rescue it from the top of the stairs because it got scared, and from the bathroom it’d somehow trapped itself in. all part of not-pet ownership, I suppose.) 000
LC @makemorecareless.com · 20/07/2026I’ve had my roomba for about 15 years and I still cheer and clap when it finds its dock and sings its happy little song. well done, lil fella. proud of you. 🥲 101
LC @makemorecareless.com · 19/07/2026shape-wise it doesn’t look like much, but that’s the point. one more step toward perfecting a super-basic top that lets me turn one precious metre of a ridiculous print into a wearable item. #sewsky 1110
LC @makemorecareless.com · 18/07/2026now I’m looking at it from further away, I’m realising the tiers are the wrong way up or back to front - the check pattern is the wrong way around! classic mistake. well, I’m not doing all that gathering again so it’s staying. 200
LC @makemorecareless.com · 18/07/2026I wanted an obnoxiously bright summer skirt to waft around the neighbourhood in. so I made one. self-drafted with, as always, generously-sized pockets. 😎 #sewsky 2280
LC @makemorecareless.com · 18/07/2026what makes my knitting easier and more fun? this halloween treat bucket I bought and immediately repurposed as a yarn bowl. #showMeYourKnits 2320
LC @makemorecareless.com · 18/07/2026thank you! and yes it’s such a good skill to have, and the results can be amazing… but it’s a real test of will and wits 🥲 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 17/07/2026the offending project. I was modifying the collar to add a pie-frill, because I’d tweaked a very plain shirt pattern to give it frilled cuffs and slightly more volume to the shoulders, but left the collar super-plain which just didn’t look right. this is better, even if I am still angry with it 😂 120
LC @makemorecareless.com · 17/07/2026just been sat with about 20cm left to stitch on this project and my sewing machine having NONE of it. at least eight tries, one broken needle, six rethreads and two bobbin rewinds because all the fail attempts used it up. what a great hobby, so relaxing, definitely not driving me to drink. 🥲static.klipy.comGato Sad SadAlt: Stepan the cat glumly contemplates a large glass of red wine, his heart closed to the half-hearted disco lights playing over his face. 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 17/07/2026the moment is soon ruined by one neighbour hacking up his guts, loud and long, and another roaring at her horrible children. but for a moment it was lovely. 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 17/07/2026as I sit in my garden with my morning coffee, I marvel at the abundance of life around me. a bluetit hovering and harvesting snacks from the bushes. a bee on an early bumble to the lavender. a sparrow pulling strands of dry moss from the gutter. a spider darting to retrieve a morsel from its web. 130
LC @makemorecareless.com · 17/07/2026some texture for #showMeYourKnits! 56 squares of 26 different stitch patterns, which I did love doing but did *not* enjoy sewing together at the end. worth it though! 🧶 1643

LC @makemorecareless.com · 10/07/2026this was your first knit project??!? 😮 incredible work, bravo 120
LC @makemorecareless.com · 15/06/2026work put on some lino printing sessions (health and wellbeing innit), check out my masterpiece 🐙 0110
LC @makemorecareless.com · 05/06/2026thanks! this was on Petal signature cotton which is about 150gsm. good weight for a skirt like this that needs some body but a bit too stiff for a shirt (which is the other thing I was shopping for and did eventually make 😅) 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 04/06/2026minor sewing gripe: when a pattern has as pathetically small pockets as ready-to-wear. like, why do you think I’m here doing this? for fun?! well okay yes, mostly fun, but also to make pockets that actually hold things. keep up! 090
LC @makemorecareless.com · 04/06/2026thank you so much! it’s come out even better than I imagined (mostly because of the pockets lmao) 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 04/06/2026I made a thing! pleated skirt with this awesome print I found on Spoonflower when I was supposed to be shopping for someone else 🥲. I’m particularly happy with the kaleidoscope vibe of the upper pleats, the pattern matching of the central flower on the waistband, and pockets (obvs) #sewsky #sewing 🪡 3310
LC @makemorecareless.com · 01/06/2026thanks! it’s from the ‘Stylish Dress Book’ by Yoshiko Tsukiori. :) 010
LC @makemorecareless.com · 31/05/2026really living up to the careless part of my name at the moment, keep stabbing myself with pins and needles to the point that I have to take a break from sewing so as not to bleed all over my fabric 🥲 000
LC @makemorecareless.com · 31/05/2026#meMadeMay day 31: mission complete! finishing on a fun one, with this dress which is somehow quite low-key but also feels a bit like a party frock, and gives me a bit of a lift. and with that (and a sigh of relief) I can return to lurking. see you next year, if I’ve recovered! 🥲 190
LC @makemorecareless.com · 30/05/2026#meMadeMay day 30: today I will be making the most of what looks like being the last day of sun. I’m on leave next week (and my birthday is in there too), so naturally it’s rain and cloud the whole time. oh well! good incentive to stay inside and whip up some things for next May ;) 060
LC @makemorecareless.com · 29/05/2026I’m genuinely relieved to hear that! at least we’re nearly there, a couple more days and we can go back to just lurking in our hand-made clothes instead of posting about them 😂 120
LC @makemorecareless.com · 29/05/2026#meMadeMay day 29: not gonna lie, this is getting pretty tedious 🥲 at least doing it with the half-hearted layouts means I haven’t had to be taking pictures of myself every day, I definitely wouldn’t have made it this far if that were the case! anyway. more ruffles today! 3100
LC @makemorecareless.com · 28/05/2026you know, I’ve been looking at that Project Hail Mary jumper all this time thinking it vaguely reminded me of a pattern in my deep stash, a man’s jacket with a pair of wolves, wouldn’t it be funny if it was the same one. and… it is?! lmao 1142
LC @makemorecareless.com · 28/05/2026#meMadeMay day 28: it’s British strawberry season (according to all the shops, anyway, I haven’t asked the plants) so this top feels appropriate. last office day of the month which is good because this is the last semi-professional outfit I can muster 🥲 080
LC @makemorecareless.com · 27/05/2026#meMadeMay day 27: I was planning on going into the office for some more air con today, but it took THREE HOURS to get home last night and I’m not risking that again until I have to. good opportunity to wear the other half of the two-piece though. 060
LC @makemorecareless.com · 26/05/2026#meMadeMay day 26: grateful for a) office air con and b) the past-me who decided to make a two-piece from this fabric instead of a dress, so I can wear half of it to the office and maintain a somewhat professional aura. just about :) 060
LC @makemorecareless.com · 25/05/2026#meMadeMay day 25: this top is barely an hour old, hot off the machine this morning. I even bought the fabric this year; it’d be one of the fastest stash-to-FO projects I’ve managed… had the pattern not been lurking in my stash untouched for nearly 18 years 💀 1150
![[Scene is a BEACH. A man is sat eating chips on a blanket - or rather he is trying to, but a terrifying, haunted-eyed SEAGULL is stood next to him, staring intently]
SEAGULL:
Well well well.
You must be one of these ‘Starers’.
[Show man trying to stare the seagull out]
SEAGULL:
Read an article in the Guardian did ya? ‘Stare seagulls out to save your chips’...
Come on then.
Look into my eyes.
[We see his cold, terrifying, haunted eyes in close up]
Can you see the darkness?
The things I’ve seen?
[Hypnotic waves are coming out of his eyes now]
The things I’ve... eaten...?
Frozen shit from a sewage pipe off the coast of Sussex…
The still-pulsing intestines from a badger by the A602…
Thaaat’s it
Look into the truth
The truth you’ve always known.
I am a seagull.
I am harder than you.
And I am having your chips.
11 [The man’s facade breaks, His eyes water, his lips wobble]
SEAGULL [Eating chips]:
Nom nom nom.
