Howdy newbies and welcome to Tumblr, it takes a bit of setup to get this site running well so here’s what works for me. One of the neat things about this site is that its a different experience for everyone, so tailor these settings towards what you want from this site.
I was asked to make a tutorial on how I make my felted Yule goat ornaments!
Optional is stuffing herbs crystals etc inside the goat for extra oomph!
Step 1: make you guide out of cardboard or sturdy paper.
Step 2: Lay on piece of doubled felt and cut along outline.
Step 3 tie a knot on end of embroidery floss and pull through one side right at the neck.
Step 4: not really a step, the side where the knot is will be the inside of the Yule goat to hide the knot.
Step 5: bring both side together and use a whip stitch to loop along the edges from the neck forward and all along there whole thing until just past the tail.
Step 6: leave enough room to put stuffing in the goat using a chopstick, wooden skewer etc.
Step 7: once it is full of stuffing, finish sewing up the back to your first knot and tie off a knot to keep it from unraveling.
Step 8: (optional) if you have enough excess, wrap the remaining floss around the neck until you have a just enough to tie a little bow. This wrapping helps hide your knots if they didn’t quite get finished correctly.
Cut off excess and decorate your knew body with ribbon trim etc
Extremely handy if you follow a lot of people and hate missing anything good.

Thanks! ✌️
I don’t have the option to turn it off yet, but chances are good that my dash is still affected. Chances are good that y'all have been affected. Whatever you do, keep checking your settings tab for the ability to TURN THIS OFF. Because we creators are gonna suffer from this.

There’s a chance that y'all might not have gotten this option yet, but i finally did. For the sake of all creators out there, check your general settings and look for this option. If you have it, TURN IT OFF. Don’t let some algorithm dictate what you see.
Don’t just like this. It needs to be spread so people know. Not only will your feed be out of chronological order, but creators who aren’t hella popular are suffering lack of exposure because of this. This is the one thing i WILL pressure to reblog.
You know, the lack of algorithm sorting was one of the last perks of using Tumblr. Why Tumblr?
