the satin s(t)it(ch)uation.

the caterpillars - free tubes of satin stitch, sturdy but still a bit fragile, fun to touch, weirdly satisfying structure

the scrunchies - the shape shifter tubes, fragile (can be fixed), fuzzy texture, looks like coral or DNA

the rope rope - tight satin stitch over sturdy base with thread, changes into weird shapes and stays that way, strong

floating sun - circular piece of fabric attached to the fabric through tube stitch, sturdy, light passes, levitating

tube 1 - two pieces of fabric attached with the satin stitch, tube shape allows thread to be passed through, sturdy

'blow it up' - widest satin stitch attempt, fragile, furry, interesting texture

#hashtag - threads threading through the satin stitch, backside looks really cool, secure way of attaching threads

the donut - circular satin stitch with thread through, changes shape when pulled, potential for interesting shapes, shape-shifter

handbag stitch - secure satin stitch, giving function to the stitch

metal stitch - shape of the stitch allows multiple things to be woven through it, metal give the fabric structure... how else can I create structure?

the marshmallow man: I tried filling the base with old clothing to give the sides strength, but this wasn't the look I was going for

up-cycled cardboard saved the day: much cleaner sides and clearer celebration of the embroidery
