Everyone should get at least a little into costuming and historical sewing so they can have one good mens shirt because let me tell you, my 1585ish shirt not only looks incredibly hot and gender on me, but it is the greatest sleepwear you will ever find. You will never feel as sexy as you will in a billowy shirt with a deep cut down the front and your bare thighs peaking out i am TELLING YOU.

The worst thing I've ever made. Over the course of three days, I scraped together this monsterous creation using only random shit i had in my house already. I dedicated a few hours each day to working on this awful stork. Between the night between days one and two, a double homicide occurred just down the road from the friends house I was staying at, and the murderer remains at large. The storks only aliby is that it was not yet stuffed at the time.

It should also be known this was for an "its a boy!" Themed birthday party for a friend who always has costume themed birthday parties and only recently finally got his gender marker and name changed on his legal documents this year, hence the party theme. Turns out this year was not a costume party... alas.

Materials used:

Some spare muslin i had

Stuffing left over from an evil muppet shoulder mount

A wizard staff made from half of a small (~16') tree I felled using a pocket knife and finished with wax from my own bees

Worlds cronchiest table cloth

Willow rods

Luum upholstery samples

Scrap from my favourite fabric ive ever used!! Its called "bee resilient" and is a birch bark biting pattern done by local Cree artist Pat Bruderer, aka. Halfmoon Woman. Shes amazing!! Check her out!!!

Shitty paint

My eyeballs are about to fall out of my head, but it's 4:07am, and the muse has me in her clutches.

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS SHIRT I MADE FOR THE IDES!!!!

I now HATE pugios! I had to make 23 of those fuckers. I barely even left the house, so I hope at least one of yall will appreciate my hubris.

Oh so slowly printing 23 pugios to sew onto the back of my shirt for tomorrow lads

Taught myself to use a sewing machine, drafted my own pattern for some stellar pants, and made the coziest pants on earth with an adjustable waist from a second-hand quilt. I am shaken to my core by my own power and hubris.
