✮ 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.

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

Crocheted sweater 2.0! I played around with the sizing after the original sweater I made a few months ago, and I’m so happy with the result on this one!! Finished just in time for the cooler weather soon to come!!

Eyyyy after a few weeks of working on it straight I've finally finished this!

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 😁🍁🍂

Finished Shirt (sort of)

I finally finished the sewing parts of the shirt I was working on for myself! It's not perfect, and there are definitely places I want to try to do better with next time, but for the first article of clothing I've ever sewn, and a more complicated one at that, I'm very proud of it. All that's left to actually finish it are the closures, and instead of buttons I'm doing snaps. I have some ordered and on the way, but for now it's at least off the sewing machine.

fall 'fit of the year!

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.

Making your own clothes is GREAT bc like. You go to the function and someone compliments you and you get to say ‘thanks I made it myself’ and like. It’s true!! You did!!! You made it yourself!!!!

Finally got to weaving in the ends. Now to soak that bitch and block it and then measure how wide the chest panel needs to be 💪

Pattern: modified Ovansjö cardigan by Maja Karlsson on ravelry

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.

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!

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:

Hey @nemo-is-my-dad ! I also made these two things some years ago ! A gilet and vintage trousers, that I have to make again in the same fabric than the gilet !

:p

Dark academia powaaaa

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

[camille-lachenille]

It’s not quite large enough but I’m pretty damn close to make a pocket large enough to hold the Silmarillion!

Next time I’ll make the side opening a centimetre or two longer and it’ll fit like a glove!

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

Homemade cloak is almost done!
