✮ you know I recall somebody saying 'there ain't no cowboys left,' but they ain't met me ✮
finished my cowfolk suit! made from a roll of thrifted denim and faux suede, with fringe, silver piping and mother of pearl snaps. top is a reproduction of a 1950's shirt pattern from this etsy shop and pants are the shop pant from open studio, both modified with some self-drafted details~
ID: two full length photos of me (white with short brown hair) standing against a background of green grass and yellow trees. I'm wearing a western style suit made with blue denim, with black yokes on the front and back, shotgun cuffs, and black fringe along the yokes and cuffs.

When I was younger, I sewed so many ridiculous, fun clothes that I knew I'd never have an occasion to wear, because I never went anyplace that would require dressing up.
I eventually realized that I didn't want to expend so many resources and so much effort to make those ridiculous, never-worn clothes--oh, I still make the ridiculous stuff, but now I wear it around the house

I should have posted this earlier

I am so pleased with how the shirt came out. It's a princess seam blouse in an absolutely gorgeous feeling stretch cotton. The pointed cuffs were a last minute(as in I sewed them the morning I wore this outfit) decision, and I think I might make a pair of cufflinks connected by a chain for them. The skirt is just a simple five panel half(ish) circle that was originally designed as a dress. The petticoats(all three) are flocked tulle.
I felt so freaking cute

Tho I first started this project like a year ago by hand sewing and then realized it was more complicated than I thought, now it's finally done and just in time for fall because it's a very warm, soft material 😁🍁🍂

Thought I would try to get through some sewing block issues by doing a simple project and decided to make a long pleated wool skirt. I wouldn’t even need a pattern! And I even had this great spruce green wool twill fabric I got for $20 at a thrift store!
Of course when I started I did not realize that I should hand baste all 31 pleats… 😭 It is a simple project but NOT a fast one.

Today's dress will be dissembled and remade a bit but I decided to wear it to school anyway.
I figured out how to have four pockets in front which I love but I accidentally sewn the panels in the wrong sequence so I have a pocket basically in the middle front instead of on my thigh. It works to hold my keycard for now though

This outfit has been a long time coming!
I bought this black fabric with blood splatters on it in a post-Halloween sale last year. I didn't have a specific project in mind at the time, I just couldn't pass up blood splatter at 5$ a metre. So it sat in my fabric stash for a while. Then, I started teaching my sewing class. And in the process of showing my students all the amazing things you can create for yourself, I made my first(successful) fully tailored blouse. And LOVED it. And I thought, hey, you know what would look cool? A black blouse with that blood fabric as a contrast.
And thus, the Blood Splattered Rockabilly Ensemble was born.
It features a circle-and-a-half(ish) skirt with more than two dozen pleats of varying sizes, a black stretch cotton princess seam blouse with slight ruching detail over the bust and heart shaped buttons(I sew my button plackets closed so I don't risk gaping, and sew the buttons on where the holes would be. The shirt is pulled on.), and contrasting cuffs and collar.
Tumblr media
It's a really small thing and you wouldn't notice because it's against my neck or under the collar, but I am so pleased with how the pattern matching came out on the collar and stand. Those streaks of blood really just blend right into each other in some places!
Tumblr media
As a final touch, I picked up a 5$ pair of faux leather sneakers and used dimensional fabric paint to make them a bloody mess.
While this is technically a Halloween outfit, I have to be honest. I would wear this year round.
(Also, please appreciate how adorable I am in those gifs, because my phone died recording them)
If you like what I create and want to help support me and my sewing class, consider dropping a tip in my little tin cup:

My restyle + homemade outfit for draculaura. The top is a piece of lace I thought looked like a barlette top. The bottom is just some random thing I did. I had made a fee circle skirts before this, so I wanted to try a different silhouette. I ended up giving her a bustle, I guess. No tutorials used for this outfit.
Her hair was quite the journey, too. She is a creepover drac, so she had these little hair buns. I took them out and straightened her hair with the boil method. It took a few days till it was finally straight, but then I had to clean up the part line since the colors had gotten a bit mixed. That's when I learned that the part wasn't done perfectly by the manufacturers. There was a bit of pink in the black section. I ended up plucking a bunch of it to get a clean part line. And I did all this because this is the only drac I could get my hands on with a split dye and no bangs. Bought her at full retail price too.
Her shoes are from rainbow high btw
