Bibliotheca June Prompt: Tutorial

 This month's Bibliotheca prompt is tutorial! Despite never making a tutorial in my entire life, one of the things I am most contacted or asked about is whether or not I will make DIY mori content. Although I don't have any plans to make any of my own DIY content, I figured this was a good time to provide some links to tutorials for those looking to create their own items for their mori wardrobe.

Mori Kei Resource Archive

First, this list would not be possible without the wonderful work of The Mori Kei Resource Archive! This is my first and biggest recommendation for any mori resources, especially DIY and tutorials. It's run by a dear friend of mine in the mori community, and you can find so many types of resources sorted by tags.

Many of the tutorials I am going to share today will mostly come from this resource, so I definitely recommend checking it out when you have the time.

Ravelry

If you are interested in knitting or crocheting, my biggest and consent recommendation for tutorials and ideas is Ravelry This community is full of various creators who provide decently priced and even free patterns for all levels and all kinds of projects.

One creator with particularly mori-able and unique patterns is Tiny Owl Knits. You can find them on Ravelry or their Website. Their adorable patterns for accessories and clothing are super cute and foresty.

There are even a few mori-related community groups on Ravelry. They aren't so active (although maybe we could change that in the future!) but there are many mori suitable patterns shared there. 

Mori Kei Crochet 

Mori Girls

There are also numerous individual patterns that fit well with mori kei. A few examples I like are Forest Girl Beret by Regina Weiss and Autumn Leaves Shawl by Lady-Macbeth.

Shopping

On the resource archive, you can find a really good shopping for lace post on how to shop for lace for any various projects and customizations. 

You can also check out a few tips I've posted here on my blog for shopping on Aliexpress, and thrifting tips!
