I know I love everything I make but this strawberry dress is truly 🥺 #SummerDIY #strawberrydress #diysewing #sewing #sewingskills #cottagecore

A little elbow grease, enamel and patience to turn this bridle into one of fantasy dreams!! . I found this for $10 at a tack sale and knew it would be exactly what I wanted!!! It’s not always easy to see the vision, but this time it was! I just wish I had dye the throat latch to match (maybe I’ll still do it!) #horsetok #thriftflip #upcycle #fantasyfashion #thewitcher #horsegirl #horsefashion

Replying to @Spooki they are clay! And here’s a great hack for working with it! Short on time? Have only one mold to use? Never fear because your freezer (or the snow/outside temp depending on where you live) is your best friend!!! This hack is an easy way to make foam clay pieces for costumes and cosplay in half the time it might take to let them set up on their own in room temperature. I used this ages ago when I made my celebrimbor look for rings of power and it worked like a dream!! I hope you guys give it a try and let me know how it works out!! #diyproject #craftin #booktok #cosplayhack #craftinghack

Replying to @Jjjjjjj the daredevil Worbla corset! #daredevilbornagain #diyproject #craftin

Do you think Peter Parker ever sewed over his finger when he was making his spider man fit

The rain drop snood tutorial! It was WAY harder than I thought! #snood #diyproject #craftin

This headpiece was inspired by Robert Wun’s amazing raindrop coat, that has never left my brain since I saw it. Working on the tutorial now!#booktok #romantasy #fantasy #cottagecore

A 15 month sewing difference between the cosmic brownie two piece and today! So much changes so quickly when you learn to sew #fashiontiktok #sewingtiktok

Is thoust a wench or ye witch ?

Made myself a romantasy dress for Valentine’s Day! A whole week late but whose counting 🧐 . I can’t wait to wear this velvet and chiffon dress out to the ren faire, it’s probably my new favorite thing in my closet!! #fashiontiktok #sustainability #booktok #romantasy

Sewing is my life I fear 😭

Replying to @Jjjjjjj I really put lipstick on this dress just for the video 😭 Machine wash??? you wouldn’t throw this silk in a washing machine! Here are a series of steps and products I use to extend the life of my clothing! . Did you know that running your clothes through a washing machine on normal cycle and drying it on normal can actually wear out your fibers faster? Not to mention the polyester microplastic shed. That’s not to say washing machines are bad, but that you can help extend your clothing’s life span and help the environment by steaming clothes when you can! . Steam cleaning devices (like mine) can be an investment, but they can be a great way to refresh, disinfect and press clothes you don’t wear day after day (think special occasion or nice work clothes). Right now my baby lock steamer is on sale (being discontinued) and I can find it for under $100!!! . Grandma’s spot removal is GREAT for stains. A little goes a long way…i have never had a stain I haven’t been able to remove with it, so long as you take the time to really work at it!! Taking care of your clothes is a good thing not only for you but for your community and environment!! #fashiontiktok #sustainability #washingclothes #laundrytok

I fear I am an arts and crafts gworlie

🚨 I do not take commissions!! 🚨 but there are plenty of creators who do. Understanding the cost of having a dress made for you, custom the cost can feel daunting. We have become so used to under valuing sewing as a skill (a conversation on sexism we can have at another time) that we don’t see the cost break down and the pricing that reflects that. Here I am talking about THIS dress in particular, at this size and shape. Things to consider: . 📍 if I made this again, I WOULD have to redraft a pattern in the persons size, so the time would remain the same 📍 6 yards is considered a ‘bulk’ purchase for that silk and it was already 10% less than a single yard price 📍 I am not including the cost of filament or machine time, but would have to include it in the future since it uses about half a roll of PLA 📍 my markup is much lower than the standard mark up should be. The rule of thumb is usually 100-400% we would put this dress anywhere from 2400-6800 USD 📍 learning to sew could be a great way to start a side business! Don’t let this discourage you from trying to start a business with sewing or crafting or wanting to take commissions. People are out there who want to pay these prices and are willing to do so!! Is it worth it? #costbreakdown

Replying to @KelseeU_L8er a woobles update for you guys!!!!! 10/10 would get another kit I love crotchet 😍#wooblescrochet #woobles #crotchettok

My personal relationship with Jo-Ann fabrics is a complicated one. When I first learned to sew it was the closest and most convenient place to shop. I learned a lot about textile and composition, fabric choices and patterns and grew to search for more and more options. It is sad to know my nearest store will be 150 miles away in another state, but I want to shed the light on a popular fabric store in the Reno Tahoe area that has been here for more than 30 years, and has an incredible rich and vibrant history in the community. Mills End Fabric is an amazing store that never ends. From fashion gworlies to quilters, from burning man attendees to car and boat restoration, this store supplies fabric for it all. It’s a community space where you can bring leather scraps in to recycle, get scissors sharpened, buy foam for chairs and beds, and dig through bins of vintage notions, all for an affordable price. . People come here from all over the US, and it’s one of my favorite places to shop and experience a maker space that’s vibrant and thriving. They have far too much inventory to be online (and let’s face it, it’s dead stock style, so once a bolt is gone, it’s gone) but it’s worth the drive to come and get materials for your projects. I mean where else can you get real silk chiffon for $8 a yard??? . Would you come and visit?#fantasyfashion #fabric #fabricstores #renonevada

I am the yapper 🤨
