I didn’t realize how trendy this pattern was before I made it, I swear. As a 30 year old and former hipster, it kills me when I’m too in tune with the youths. Like will people realize my age and think I’m trying too hard to stay young? I wore this to the club and … Continue reading an accidentally super trendy checkerboard dress
Long time no update, eh? Well I’ve been busy. We had a lovely new years with friends (and won the “bring something to take a picture with” contest by literally bringing a toy camera from the thrift store) and I’ve finally felt the bug to just make stuff. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1koWDyAvX5/?igsh=MWxjZ2E0emlnNHo3bA== I finally picked up this table … Continue reading progress report 3
First of all, hope you’re having a lovely new year. It has only been a day, so chances are high that it has been a positive 2024 so far. I want to preface this post with a couple things. First, I know everyone and their mom with an internet account does a yearly wrap up. … Continue reading a review of 2023

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
Rootin’ tootin’ Electric Forest is definitely the biggest event in our household every year, and every year we go harder. I started planning my Valentines Cowboy costume late last year and was still working on it until the week of the event (the last weekend of June). That’s also due to other life stuff getting … Continue reading Electric Cowboys at Electric Forest
This year for Halloween I underestimated the time it would take to complete all my costume pieces yet again. My best friend and I recently watched a ton of Dracula films and had been reading Dracula Daily while it was running, so I kind of had vampires on the mind this year. 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. It felt appropriate to create a call back to the very first cosplay I ever did way back in 2006 at Ohayocon. Our little group included … Continue reading A tale of two Sakuras
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
