What could is bee? I hive no idea.

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jul 11

And finally, the full character sheet!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jul 11

Also the behind the scenes, if you're curious!

Most of the frames lined up! (They didnt quite fit into the picture)
The embroidery technique is called thread painting!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jul 11

14 frames, hand embroidered, took like a week? His name is Otto and I LOVE HIM. He's just a little guy. I'm gonna sew these frames onto clothes and make it look Otto branded, cant wait.

Looking forward to seeing the final lineup! Both Jelly and Zombie together reach 3 ft 1.4 inches tall, perfect pie height and always hungry!

Parasyte Jellyfish model; the jellyfish creature on the head puppets the undead zombie body below. The zombie has been dead a while and is starting to melt, but the jellyfish still tries to dress it up pretty. The zombie is in green/blue/grey colours and the jellyfish contrasts in reds and pinks!

More clothes made in March, this was part of a collab I did with @k3lsb3lls.bsky.social ! This was a very silly, very fun stream; I made a piece from Kels wardrobe, and they made a piece from mine! Now we can cosplay eachother whenever we want 😂 (Although I do actually just love this shirt!)

FUN STORY, this shirt was supposed to be brown and cream striped. When I was shopping for this fabric online I forgot to turn dark mode off, which made the fabric look on the screen brown and cream. When it arrived in the post however, it is grey and white :') I do love the shirt in these colours too!

I have a wealth of boxy shirts for layering now, it feels really nice to look at my wardrobe and have so many options! This has become one of my fave casual shirts. I did go with slightly larger buttons though, since I think it adds a fun vibe without adding any colour!

Still wearing a mask in all these photoshoots because damn it was bright! I could barely keep my eyes open for the photos, posing my face felt impossible. In retrospect, this probably also really helped me avoid hayfever mid shoot.

Worm photoshoot! Hes so bendy and soft, I love himmmm! He ended up being 1.2m long, and I made him a detachable string so he can dance around the house AND curl up all cosy like!

The yarn used is Yarnsmiths Chenille 100% polyester. He is 1.2m of soft, squishy, wiggly worm friend!

He has a little crocheted string you can clip to his nose, so he can be a proper worm on a string! You can also unclip the string for soft cuddles!

He has 10 colours as a part of his rainbow; red, red/orange, orange, yellow, yellow/green, green, green/blue, blue, purple and pink! There are 4 striped of each.

Ophi is fundraising all week for Mermaids, and if the campaign hits £800, my progress pride crochet bee will be given away! The bee is very soft, and perfect size for desk pets. AND all the money raised is going to an amazing cause! tiltify.com/@ophi/fundra...

Bee crochet themed after the Progress pride flag! It has all the striped from that flag, and little wings and button eyes. This was made during my own trans charity fundraiser! The yarn is chenille, 100% polyester, and the bee is around 10cm x 10cm x 16cm. I will cover shipping worldwide if the milestone is hit!

This was one of the jackets I altered in March! Its a second hand jacket I picked up at a charity store for a couple quid. To make it a bit fancier, I painted a Bob Ross tutorial piece on the back using fabric paints, then sewed around the edge to give the illusion of it being a large patch!

I used fabric paint to make my piece. Its quite different to work with than the oils Bob Ross uses. Fabric paint dries in minutes, you have to work fast to blend and build up layers. That being said, I think it turned out well!

To fix my fabric paints, I just had to iron it after. It can now be washed, and its as flexible as the jacket fabric was to start with.

I think the sunset colours really contrast nicely with the greenery where we did the photoshoot. Its a very fall feeling jacket. I am also very pleased with how the white stitched boarder matches the art!

I switched the buttons on the front to miss matching buttons. The old buttons where very bleh in my opinion and made the jacket look cheap. I like the all different buttons, makes the jacket look more unique from the front and back, and it was very quick to do.

A shark friend I made with @blackapplecreative.bsky.social in March! This was meant to be a bag, but I ended up liking him so much he's staying as he is and joining my plushie collection! This was a really fun stream, and Blapple made an even bigger version!

I love him so much, he has big basking shark vibes! His big mouth is very silly, but I think its great. The red inside also contrasts nicely with the blue jean denim fabric!

As mentioned, he was made to be a bag. I did the smaller of the two patterns, so this would have been well sized for a phone and maybe wallet. Blapple made the bigger version!

I used the inside of the jeans for the belly and the outside for the top. The colour different is veeery subtle, but in real life you can see the texture difference!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jun 9

I am posting this photoshoot out of order, but this was the first thing I made during March! I like upcycling challenges for sewing, and a few years ago there was a trend to make clothing out of second hand ties. I collected some from charity shops, and this is the result!

This was the first thing I made during the craft-a-thon, and I was feeling a bit hesitant to go out of the box with shapes and fit. I think leaning into more unusual shapes and cut outs would have been better for this project to be honest, this ended up almost looking like a work uniform.
Great for if I ever need a clown-core shirt though, with all those patterns and bright colours!

This is also one of the few shirts I ended up lining. I felt the seams from the ties being sewn together might be a little uncomfy to lean on, so I added lining fabric. It does make the shirt a bit thicker, but I think that suits the vibe.

I am particularly proud of the yolk to sleeve fabrics lining up. I also think the tie shapes look good around the bottom!

My Point of Pride fundraiser starts today! We'll be making bees on stream all week, ive got lots of different colours of yarn so we should be able to make a full swarm! My charity donation page is also live now! tiltify.com/@acraftyjell...

A new craft for me; I did goldwork with @amazoniancosplay.bsky.social ! I love embroidery, but goldwork is a completely new craft for me. I was incredibly lucky to have Amazonian Cosplay join me on stream and teach us all some goldwork basics! PLUS I now have the fanciest trans pride Jellyfish!

Amazonian cosplay literally made an entire lesson for me and the community to follow along. She also sent me all the materials I would need, which was so incredibly kind, since gold work materials can get expensive! Plus for a first attempt, I think this turned out great!
(Its got a pin the in back so I can wear this like a badge, and its in Pink, Blue and White to match the trans flag)

Gold work is a historical embroidery technique. It used coiled wire tubes in different colours and sizes to make beautiful, shiny, raised pieces. It also uses beads and sparkly threads as accents, and the finished products look very fancy.
Historically, it would have been reserved for royalty, the military, and religious pieces - but anyone can learn to do this and make anything fancy they like!

Had to include at least one body pic for scale, cause this turned out kinda big! (Which I love, it took a lot of time to make, so I am glad it stands out!) Happy Pride!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jun 4

Morning! I need to cancel stream today, i've gotta catch up on work, whoops! But on the positive side... NEXT FUNDRAISER! Next week we're crocheting bees and fundraising for @pointofpride.org ! I've got a lot of fluffy yarn in lots of colours, so hopefully we can make a whole swarm!

Poster for my fundraiser for Point of Pride. Jelly cartoon is on the left side crocheting bees in a range of pride flag colours. This poster has information about what we're doing and rewards you can claim during the fundraiser.

Point of Pride is a charity that supports trans and nonbinary people around the world! They help people access gender affirming surgery, HRT, shapewear and binders, hair removal treatments and prosthetics. As we talked about a lot in March; this stuff can be bloody expensive, and completely out of reach without support for a lot of trans people. POP (Point of Pride) support the people who need them, so that they can live their lives to the fullest! They also support people in 129 different countries!

Floaty floral trousers, made with @klensyh.bsky.social ! Klen mentioned wanting to make float trousers, and these were a very simple pattern. I made mine using bright florals, since I thought it would suit a spring/summer outfit!

Lounging on a bench to try and show the drape of the trousers when sitting. These are made from two large pattern pieces tied in the front and back, so it makes a lovely drape when sitting. The simple pattern pieces also make this very beginner friendly!

Walking in motion picture, the pink/purple floral pattern really pops against the green, natural background. They're very loose and floaty, so great in hot weather.

A close up to see the pattern a little more. I really love these for summer, but if I were to make these again, I would love to make them out of a suit fabric! I think this would be really look for smart casual wear.

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Jun 1

Another pastel piece, this time a hoodie I made with @chochy.co.uk ! Making a colourful hoodie was actually Chochys' idea, and I am so glad they thought of this cause I love it! This was a pretty chill pattern, great for anyone looking to try making more with stretch fabric.

Sat on a bench, nature behind to help the colours of the hoodie pop! The main piece of the hoodie is blue, with a yellow sleeve and pink sleeve and matching pockets. Ive rolled the sleeves up for this one, since thats how I normally wear a hoodie.

With the hood up so you can see how BIG it is! I did give this a bigger measurement when putting together the pattern measurements, because I love a big hood. It looks very dramatic!

Just a close up of the hoodie because the colours are so gooooood! The colours are roughly based of a ACNH sweater because I always wanted some of the animal crossing clothes in real life.

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 30

To start the sewing spam, probably my favorite shirt I made and the one I think I will be wearing the most this summer! Its pastel, the pocket lines up so well, and its 100% cotton so great for warm weather. I love it! (I am wearing a mask in all these photos, cause I didn't want to pose my face!)

Made of a pattern I already owned, this is one of my favorite shirts to make. I also got really lucky with the pocket on this one, it lines up the the rainbow heart pattern pretty perfectly!

Posing sat down on a table, with nature behind. This shirt is a bit boxy, and I think that shows more in sitting shots. Personally, I really like that shape, plus its slightly shorter in the body than a regular shirt, which also works for me, because I am short.

I would probably not normally wear a black shirt under this, but I was changing top and bottoms a lot in this photoshoot, and I didnt want to be naked in public tbh. I am also wearing the facemask because it was sunny and I did not want to pose my face.

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 27

The last goblin! This one was made as a gift from @artbyerry.bsky.social for @mollycoffeebean.bsky.social ! A lovely piece to end on, very relaxing popping in all the autumn vibes. Plus I always love an excuse to draw cats!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 25

Successfully survived cheese rolling! Was not expecting to also do the uphill race, but hell yeah, I'm so glad I did (despite my face at the end! In my defence, its bloody steep and boiling hot!)

Photo taken from the 2026 cheese rolling event at Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire. Cheese rolling is a sport where you roll a cheese down this specific hill, then roll your body down after it. Its a 45 degree incline, its bloody steep. This is when most people were still near the top.

I am in the center of this picture, in the dark red top. I did the uphill race, and then rolled down after. This meant that most people were taking it a little more casually! This also happened to be the hottest day in May in record, UK wide. It was SO hot in the sun, climbing that hill was wild.

Despite how I look in this picture, I am so incredibly glad I did this. Its been on my bucket list for 20 years. Cheese rolling is very dangerous, its has a huge injury rate, and I am not getting younger! Being able to do this has been amazing, I am very pleased with myself! (And I leave with only minor bruises and scrapes!) ALSO I did not win xD not even close!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 24

4/5 creatures made, this one was for @starrysidetrinkets.bsky.social , and is a goblin/alicorn hybrid based on his OC; Northenglow! Its been a while since I have been able to draw wings, so this was a nice treat to make. Also had a lot of fun drawing the world in the background!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 11

Another goblin, this one was made as an OC for @dragoness-sammy.bsky.social ! This is probably the most colourful goblin I have ever made! Part of the request was to incorporate queer vibes, there are A LOT of secret flags in this! AND the props in the background have all been made IRL by Sammy!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· May 7

Hello from very high up, today I ticked climbing Snowden off the bucket list! It was a long,beautiful hike. I was terrified at the top, but I touched the peak inside a massive cloud, was pretty cool! And, despite the busy schedule, I still managed to vote 😎 if you're in Wales, go do the thing!

View down while climbing snowdon! You can see paths leading up from a lake at the base

The path up snowdon we took. Very bumpy and steep at points, but very stunning views. It was not sunny but not wet, honestly perfect!

I am terrified, clinging on for dear life, but it was so worth it. I'm also in a cloud, hence the foggy view!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Apr 18

Another time lapse, for another creature! This one was made for @mossiegoat.bsky.social ! I dont get to make dragonish creatures very often, and I loved adding all the little nods to Mossies hobbies and interests!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Apr 8

No stream today, but yesterday I finished turning @klensyh.bsky.social into a goblin! I tried to fit as many references from his stream as possible, and it was a lot of fun to do 💜 Klen was so supportive of my fundraiser last month, so it was lovely to start with this! Mild flash warning at the end!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Mar 31

This is vaguely the plan for the last stream today, although with all the giveaways and thanks and such planned, it might be a bit off!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Mar 31

Happy Trans day of visibility, and happy last day of my crafting marathon! I don't think I could have asked for things to go better; every collab was so fun, I loooove the clothes we made, AND we hit my fundraising goals! Thank you so much everyone who joined and made this event so successful!!

Day 30 of the Craft-a-thon! Today we're spending the whole day making a coat! It was something a little more complex I really wanted to try, and I designed something the other day that should fit the "coat" brief! Should be colourful!

Making a sleeveless coat!

I wanted to make at least 1 coat during March, and I thought something long and sleek would be a nice contrast to a lot of the comfy projects I had planned. This will be a whole day of sewing, since a larger and slightly more complicated piece!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Mar 29

The last few days of the Craft-a-thon, it's gone so quickly! Today is the last collab of the event, and then a couple big projects to finish it off! Thank you so much everyone who has made this so fun, its been a blast every day!

ACraftyJellyfish@acraftyjellyfish· Mar 29

Day 29 of the Craft-a-thon! Today is my last collab of the event. Its been amazing working with so many talented artists, and i've saved a banger collab for last! Today we're joined by @lovibunny.bsky.social , who is very kindly teaching us how to tat! Links in comments!
