Pattern is by CutePatternsbyMaria on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1057534691/

Edit: Trying to figure out how to get photos to show up on my Lemmy feed without having to click to an external link. I think this works?

Edit2: Tried making the images in the body clickable since they’re not very large, at least on my screen.

Edit3: Fixed the spacing between my edits. Still learning Lemmy!

    Lol, your edits are a rollercoaster! To add the inline image you just need to use an actual image URL (the one that ends with .jpg, .PNG, whatever) in the field when you make a post, rather than the Imgur link I think you used there. But anyway!

    That pattern shop is definitely well named because this is cute as all heck. Absolute sucker for a lighthouse stitch. And it’s so neatly done!

    Is it interfaced Aida handstitched onto felt, or…?

      Haha, I’m still trying to wrap my head around Lemmy. Thanks for letting me know! Is there a way to add multiple inline images for an album, other than just adding them to the body?

      Thank you! I love lighthouse patterns too!

      I stitched the pattern onto aida like normal. Then added self-adhesive felt to the back to act as interfacing and stitched all the way around that to protect the edges of the aida from fraying. And finally I cut holes into normal (non-adhesive) felt, popped in the brooch clasps, and stitched around the edges to attach it to the back. It probably didn’t need two layers of felt, but it didn’t occur to me that I could use brooch clasps until after I’d already stitched the self-adhesive felt on.

        Honestly I’m not sure if album links work inline if you add them in the URL field, I suspect not but not 100%.

        And thanks for the breakdown! I’ve got a patch project that’s been planned for like…6 months at least. And I’m just not getting around to it! Need to actually dig out some materials and make a plan…

          Hmm, good to know. I’ll continue adding the other images to the body then.

          No problem! Ah, yes, sometimes I find those back burner projects need a concerted push from me to actually get done. Best of luck with your patch!
