This was a lengthy process to achieve an asymmetrical drape that has a natural “drippy” quality that maintains intentionality. In other words, I wanted it to look messy, but not sloppy. To balance the asymmetry, I used a black cotton yarn to give depth to the left side, knowing the right would bear more text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI hand embroidered the words on the front as well as the Ring on the back, laying threads repeatedly to achieve the vacillating look of Ethel Cain’s iconic symbol.

Although this type of finishing would more traditionally done with a needle, the crocheted edge mimics the drape on the front of the shirt more effectively.

He said they got new ones in the office and didn’t need those anymore and asked if I would like to have them. Of course I took them home, knowing that I did not, in fact, need any new pillowcases at my house, but I also didn’t want them to go in the landfill. I was able to find a more \u003ci\u003etraditional\u003c\/i\u003e use for two of the three pillows cases but decided that the third one would be great as a top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grid texture of the pillowcase was easily charted for cross stitch, and because the pillowcase naturally had a lining, I was able to encase all of the embroidery, leaving no exposed threads on the inside of the finished product. Ultimately, this makes it more durable item and provides a cleaner, more finished appearance. The ties are made from the excess inner lining that I did not need, and they’re long enough to be tied around the body for a tighter look, or tied to each other on each side for more loose, relaxed fit. The word “Nettles” is in reference to the Ethel Cain song of the same name. I used an alpha graph created by @maisonlainu for the lettering. I know the graph’s original purpose was for filet crochet, but it worked beautifully for this cross stitch, as well!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ur local hookr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103244316955,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/7120\/5147\/files\/DSCF2013.jpg?v=1777134377"},{"product_id":"forgotten-floral-apron-top","title":"Tied to Me - Apron Top","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI’m tired of you, still tied to me\u003cbr\u003e(Bleeding whenever you want)\u003cbr\u003eToo tired to move, too tired to leave\u003cbr\u003e-\u003c\/em\u003e “Hard Times,” by Ethel Cain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout this Piece\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an apron-style top, meaning it ties at the sides to give maximum adjustability and versatility. It is a reclaimed piece, meaning that the fabric that this top is made from was headed for the landfill before I intercepted it. Originally, this was a table runner, hand-embroidered with immense care and attention to detail, as even the lace edges are hand sewn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout the Process \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I first found this table runner, it was in rough condition. I gave it a good soak, and even though most of the stains didn’t fully come out, I think that the discoloration only lends a more lived-in, natural quality to this antique artistry. There were also a few holes that needed mending in order for this piece to once again be functional. I used a fusible interfacing to patch them, then added my own hand embroidery, (matching the colors and style of the original artwork as closely as I could). The neckline is finished using biased tape for a smooth, clean edge. Because of the nature of this top (it’s a table runner) it is also completely reversible. So if you like one side better than the other, no worries! Just flip it around. The ties on each side are made from a misprint of my logo that I had experimented with on a vintage dish cloth. So everything about this piece is completely unique and handcrafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e * please note that because this embroidery is antique and original, This is a very delicate item and should be worn with special care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ur local hookr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103398293787,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/7120\/5147\/files\/DSCF2061.jpg?v=1777134391"},{"product_id":"kerchief-bolero","title":"Easy on the Eyes - Kerchief Bolero","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout this Item\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are unaware (as I was until I googled it about five minutes ago) what a bolero is, it’s a top that is basically just sleeves. There is no Body. I’m unsure how to categorize this top, but I’m pretty sure it’s a bolero. It is constructed from an infinity scarf and an antique handkerchief. The handkerchief features hand-embroidery that I placed front and center on the final product. The stretchy quality of everyone’s least favorite souvenir from 2014, the infinity scarf, lends this item a very nice, billowy bell sleeve. Who knew that’s what they were good for? This piece is perfect for layering as a statement over a simple tank top or for a little extra warmth on a chilly evening. Not much warmth though, honestly.

I don’t say that with malice or contempt, I also don’t say it with love, it’s just a fact. Actually, I do love it. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t. Because it gives me things like this to fuck around with.

The tablecloth was already cut into chunks when I spotted it, so I used this specific pattern in order to waste as little material as possible.

The two large pockets on the front are lined for extra stability, and the tie closures are pieced from excess material. The collar is scalloped all around, forming a point in the center of the back somewhat reminiscent of a sailor collar. The material is a light linen, perfect for summer.
