Hi all!
I like to make things with my hands and I'm interested in fashion history and old crafts. This is my channel where I talk about my projects, crafting, and fashion history. I also have a blog here: withmyhandsdream.com.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love,
Katja

can I make shoes like this with something other than leather?
This will become an heirloom, for sure.
I've been trying to find out what kind of paper stock the cardboard is being used for under the paper pattern? Also What kind of markers you use then.
There is cardboard from the lacemaker’s shop in Finland but any cardboard will do. The official just may last more re-uses. I’ve used cardboard from Cheerios cerial box and it works! The cerial box cardboard is also easier to prick which is a big plus for me and my poor fingers. Just your regular highlighters will do for the coloring.
So lovely! I missed how the green page is attached.
It’s just sewn on by hand.
Kiitos, kaunis video. 😊
That fabric is impressive! So beautiful too. Love the humour you bring to your video, but keeping alive the history and techniques. . Really loved you showing that practice prevails and snags and errors can be fixed. Really loving exploring your channel. Thank you 🙂
Beautiful and interesting to watch
What a stunning piece of work! The rug, and the animation in the video editing, super job! I love all the included history too, so fascinating. The design is perfect 🙂 Thank you!
Lovely! Thank you for explaining the steps so well!
What is the embroidery stitch to make the pretty maroon flower?
It’s a chain stitch basically that is tied off immediately. It’s also called ”lazy daisy” in English and you can google it for a tutorial!
Sono italiana , noi lo chiamiamo tombolo ai fuselli , nel mio paese ( Offida Ascoli Piceno ) è l' artigianato locale io ho imparato da mia madre ero piccola ,e lavoro tuttora i merletti al tombolo , sono velocissima noi abbiamo un appoggio diverso ma il lavoro è abbastanza simile. Buon lavoro ,brava
Ahahahahaahahahahahahahh. The Rally English and the slightly psychotic look in the eyes. So very Finnish. Also, it is not a fabric. It is a cover or a wall tapestry.
My grandma had one that dated to 1890. Thankfully it's still in the family.
The square you use to mark the sheet is beautiful. Where did you get it?
Mikä uskomaton projekti! 👏 Todella hypnoottinen video myös, todella rauhoittava.
This was a really interesting video, and watching the development of the rug with such beautiful motifs was delightful. Thank you for providing a comprehensive background history for this type of rug making, which really added to the video. It certainly provided food for thought regarding the revival and perpetuation of other traditional fabrics in a world of mass production. Thank you for sharing your work on this, which is much appreciated.
Thank you for the needle book tutorial. I don't have sewing machine. Do you have any tips in construction of the book without a machine. Any advice and/or tips to create this. Thank you.
Everything I sewed with a machine, can be sewn by hand easily! Just use a running stitch with occasional back stitch and you can make a fine needlebook. Right now I’m in the process of sewing a dress by hand only! Remember, the machines have existed about 150 years but people have been sewing for thousands of years!
@@withmyhandsdream thank you.
Beautiful work by you and your daughter! And I'm glad you included the mistakes as well. A lot of craft videos show people zipping through projects without any mishaps, which leaves the beginners without any guidance on how to recover from errors. It's also reassuring that someone who is so good at crafting also makes mistakes. 🙂
Thanks! Most of the things that I make on this channel, I make for the first time. This was my first ever rag rug. I have seen people making these, but never tried myself. I have noticed that when I make a mistake, usually it helps to stop and think. The solution I end up using after some thought usually works. If not, more thinking is needed and if I’m completely stuck, I find some experts on Facebook!
Your lace is beautiful and I hope you enjoy wearing it and celebrating cultural tradition and skills. What a delight to see your film. My great grandmother was from Bedfordshire in England and made pillow lace + I've never understood the possibilities. Your film builds from basics and shows how you work different areas separately then together. You make me curious to try again.... I last tried when 12years old so nearly 50years ago.
Lovely work!
I've only just found your videos and have started watching through them, and I can't pick which ones I like most! This shawl is stunningly beautiful, and I loved the contrast between the vivid warm red at the end and the bright white snow. You do very beautiful work.
Thank you! I hope you like the rest of them as well! 😀
nydelig bunad.
That chain-the-working-thread technique may have just made an Italian needlelace called puncetto infinitely less frustrating for me, and I've got to try it. That's absolutely brilliant -- thanks for sharing it!
Good luck! I hope it works!
That's absolutely beautiful, and I enjoyed the history that you told us as well.
I wish I could hear you, but the music is too loud.
She doesn’t talk when the music is on. Try using your volume controls.
Those are beautiful, I would just set and look at them. I wouldn’t want to wear them out or get them dirty! You are so very talented with all the stuff you do.
Genius but so humble. Admirable lady! Amazing meaningful job, Katja!
Watching this again now, I'm still pretty sure this is pure art..
This is not a rug, this is art, pure art..
I see first time your channel i strongly supported your channel from Sohail pasha Karachi Pakistan
It would be wonderful to see your efforts to clean and restore the antique rug. I'd love to see it side by side with your amazing nee one!
Beautiful rug, and lovely video. Learned a lot, and appreciate the quality of your vids : )
Thank you! I do my best!
Absolutely stunning! ❤
That is truly a piece of art and history❤ I really appreciate the animations👫🐔🫎
Thanks! I loved making them! 😂
Upea!
Beautiful how you made this and always keep the old Finnish traditions alive❤
What a delightfully instructive video. I appreciate how you explain what your doing. I have to find your jacket now!
Wow, what a beautiful piece you have made❤❤❤❤ looooove it. In Denmark it's hard to get a rya rug kit😔 have to check out the website where you got yours from❤❤
My grandmother gave me all the things I needed for a traditional rya to make for my trouseau. I made it in 1964 for my wedding.
Beautiful outcome of your hard work.
The finished rug is so beautiful! Makes me want to learn to make it myself
If you want to try it, there are several small rya kits for beginners who want to try but aren’t ready for a huge project like mine.
J'adore ! Magnifique travail , bravo !
Fantastic work I really appreciate what you have created.
Lovely work! They do look like they have a lot in common with the norwegian rye. (though the most common modern rye here is perhaps the “fille-rye” - woven floor mats made out long strips of fabric scraps. And that is a different story/ technique 😊)
What a wonderful rug!!! It turned out beautiful - as everything you make 💖 And, as usual I learned a lot from you (today especially about what the ruler is for - I have "inherited" 2 of the sort and had no idea what they were 😅). Thank you for showing us your wonderful work!! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your project with us! I enjoy learning about traditional Finnish crafts and clothing from your channel!
Your work is beautiful as always.
Thank you!
I truly envy anyone with a national costume. I would love to make one for myself but as an Australian I have none.
Your little needle book is so pretty and obviously very handy. I'm just getting started with embroidery, so none of my needles are out of the packaging yet. I expect I'll need my own needle book sooner rather than later. I will most likely model mine after yours with the nice wide spine and covered interfacing. The hardest part for me will be deciding which of my gorgeous fabric scraps to use. I hope to make mine pretty too. Thanks so much for showing how you made yours.
