This is what happens every time I want to sew.

  • YEAAAAAH, GONNA FUCKEN SEW
  • I HAVE SO MUCH FABRIC HIDDEN IN DRAWERS I BET I WON’T EVEN NEED TO GO SHOPPING
  • AND IT’S A GOOD THING TOO BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY BROKE!!
  • ….THIS FABRIC SUCKS! WHAT HAPPENED! I REMEMBER IT BEING AWESOME.
  • Oh, right. I bought most of this fabric when I was 15. My tastes have changed just a little since then. (see: no longer a mall goth*)
  • and the stuff I do still like is the wrong type of fabric for whatever project I have in mind. >:|
  • FUCK IT.

*and I wasn’t even good at being a mall goth, y’all. I couldn’t afford tripp pants! What self respecting mall goth doesn’t have tripp pants.

folish: elizabethplaid: A Job for Engineering - Savage Chickens For all my crafty Star Trek-loving friends I used to run a costume shop, which is like a sweat shop for the love of theatre. Anyway, I wish I had said this to the seamstresses (seamsters?). lmfao that is a great way to describe a costume shop. We always talked about making up work songs but never did.

historicalfashion: whattheywore: Corset, mid 1880s Wow! I’d love to know what museum this is housed in. It looks almost exactly how I’m going to make my new corset! I’ve been thinking about making a corset for myself. I have this cracked theory it would make my back feel better. I’ve never made a corset before or sewn much at all, recently. I’m not sure my skills are up to that kind of precision.

fate-of-faye: It’s someone’s recreation of the Lake Gown from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones! I think it looks beautiful. Definitely one of the best recreations of the lake gown I’ve seen. I hate on the prequels as much as the next nerd but the costumes, man. Flawless, gorgeous costumes.
