Admission of guilt time: I hadn’t used my sewing machine for months before this project. To be honest, I kind of lost my passion for sewing for a little bit there and also my studio was absolute chaos so every time I stepped into the room I got anxious. Did I fix it? I mean … Continue reading nightwear as daily wear

So yeah, all my grand plans of updating a blog regularly seem to fall to pieces. In fact, most of my huge projects I have a pretty hard time following through to the end. You should see my abandoned projects drawer (should that be a blog post?). In the meantime, I’ve been into reading blogs … Continue reading random blog update

In homage to … Continue reading A two for one pattern review
This year at Gen Con, I decided I was finally going to go all out. I hadn’t made a complicated costume since before the pandemic and was all geared up and ready for some real historical costuming shit with a twist. Unfortunately, this is also the first year I got COVID and had two trips … Continue reading Offbrand halfling
In early 2020, before everything went down, my best blob and I went to Anime Crossroads and I fulfilled middle school Sarah’s dreams and recreated my Haruno Sakura cosplay.

Today we’re going to review my first attempt at a full length corset. To preface, I made this for a particular costume (not shown) that was meant to be historically inspired rather than historically accurate. Secondly, the Victorian era is not my usual bag, so I have less knowledge besides what I’ve gleaned from Bernadette … Continue reading Aranea Black corset pattern review
