Little house in the woods, who may live here 🤔

First time working on black fabric. Muscle memory makes it easier with time but black on black is a real pain in the ass :D

I have adjustable light bulbs and found that when I work with black aida I can see a lot better by changing to blue light. It's not actually "blue" but it's like the blue end of the white light spectrum I guess? It's just called "daylight" in my app. I'm sure there's a very scientific reason for this I just don't know what it is lol

That sounds very cool. I'll look into it, thank you! :)

The ones I use are Cync Full Color. They're kind of expensive but they do a lot of different stuff. I'm sure there are some cheaper ones that will work fine for this

Everything is better than cramming socks and my smartphone in the hood of my sweater so I can use the flashlight as additional light source ;D
