Starting a new sewing project! I always forget that I can just. Make things. Like I took classes and practiced sewing for many years. I have the skills. My bedroom needs curtains and I'm so picky about my room decor and all the ones I'm finding are ugly or expensive, so after christmas I'm going to stop being lazy and go to the fabric store and actually make them
#curtains are like the easiest thing to make#but i have a specific image in mind of the exact shape & size & color & design i want the curtains to be#and none of the curtains online meet my ridiculously specific criteria#hmmm maybe i should also make myself a purse/tote#i need a tote bag with a velcro or zipper closing for day to day stuff#but again. i have a specific image in my brain of exactly how i want it to look#and etsy isnt cutting it#i also need a hanging wall organizer#i'm gonna have soooooo much fun when i go to the fabric store after i get paid#i love the fabric store

I made a new doll (Sherlock Holmes)
↓more pictures down here
(including cursed bald Sherlock)↓
His hands
This is his back
A few more pictures of his face from different angles
Ah yes making dolls includes wonderful moments like having cursed bald Sherlock sitting next to you on a shelf
look at his shoes (I made them out of leather)
And close ups of his clothes (they are entirely hand sewn and I'm really proud of them)
#making the clothes was the moste time consuming part#I went to a thrift store to buy a suit because it was cheaper than going to an actual fabric store#I ended up buying a skirt#it was really cheap and the perfect fabric#I'm so happy having a Sherlock in my room#I absolutely love him#but I think he really needs a Watson#So that's probably going to be my next project#making Holmes a Watson#my second doll#I think I improved quite a bit#sherlock holmes#sherlock holmes doll#doll#self made#self made doll#acd holmes#acd sherlock holmes#acd sherlock#my stuff

i need more sweaters/tops that cinch at my waist but i have to try them on irl bc there’s a good chance they’d basically just be a bra 😭😭
#cider has so many cute things but i’m worried bc i’ve heard their return process is a nightmare#also. fast fashion ughh#i love trying on clothes tho so if i found a store that had mh size i’d be in heaven#where is my man that will give me a second opinion on these things#also i’m so picky at what fabrics go with what#i have this long pleated skirt that’s shiny ish and it’s hard to pair w stuff#like. i feel as if it’s an underskirt but that doesn’t make sense#talk#i do like torrid but their stuff are general basics… i need statement pieces#hmmm. i have this sweater w poofy sleeves that might go perfectly w the skirt#omg

from this concept:
I now have a very cool, very soft, and entirely hand-made 2017 Louie plush !!!!!!
Very silly tail ⬇️
He has a completely functional pull-apart jacket zipper !!!
Also completely functional: the pockets 😼
And here is also a closeup on the little phone
He is made up almost entirely of fleece, all hand-sewn. His shirt and some of his eyes are felt (also the scar on his foot). He's stuffed with polyfill . He's weighed down with lentils 😭 His pattern is made custom by me :) I'm not sure exactly how long he took, but I'd guess some amount of months. Maybe 2, but maybe only a few weeks of collective actual work days
He does also have a dog toy type squeaker in him
#DuckTales#DuckTales 2017#Dt17#Does this count as fanart#DuckTales fanart#Dt17 fanart#Louie duck#Dt17 Louie#Errrrrmmm#Sewing#Hand sewing#Plushies#Guys idk how to tag sewing projects#His beak was genuinely a NIGHTMARE to pattern. It took like 4 collective days of trying#It is also sewn on like. Crooked. So so sorry#Scar on his foot (as mentioned in the concept) is a reference to glomtales#Specifically the scene where he's trying to climb out of the window and dt87 bot shoots him w a laser#Absurd decision. Anyway I just think it's sort of fun to include things like that#I would've given him little freckles but I don't have a thread that'd make them subtle enough and I hate drawing details on#Btw I originally had a cute golden zipper w green fabric around it. It was closed-bottomed but I still wanted to use it bc it was all I had#Then I sewed it on and cut it too short. Had to make a surprise trip to joann's to get a new one#I love fabric stores they're so interesting 2 me#He's like 10 inches tall btw. Give or take a little#I DO PLAN TO MAKE DEWEY AND HUEY probably soon if I don't have any more fun projects to get to

I guess I just hadn't been drawing myself much there for a bit huh#As for that last one I swear I Promise I drafted this in September it's not a reference I'm just actually genuinely Like This lol#I didn't choose this life etc. etc. lol#From the top!#Burst of inspiration wherever could that have come from hehe <3 What could've happened in July that made me want to draw I wonder hehehe#Bit funny considering I fell off posting - not like the inspiration stopped! And what I Did draw was Very lol#I still have some of it in an ever-present photoviewer because I like being able to look at it at any point <3#Still inspired! Still want to do more studies!! So pretty ♥♪♫#Sleepy thoughts - I had my Pkmn Diamond/SoulSilver field dex/guides for all of like two months and then they were packed up again#And this was Before the Pokemon burst! Sheesh sheesh#I love my field guide dexes they're so neat and well-made ahh#I have got a couple craft projects still back-burnered - those papercrafts to do with Pokemon are still on the list!#A little Pokedex-notebook is so fun.......And I have Pokemon stickers that I could put in it or on it......ah........#I do want to! I will at some point the energy will return to it eventually#Alright so the main course lol#Went fabric shopping for plushies because yes I Am determined to Make Thing! Another that's been a bit backburnered - but I will!!!#I do still really want to it's turned out pretty good for far :) But while I was shopping!!#We did the usual small talk thing with the store employee like ''Oh what are you buying this for'' that whole back-and-forth#So I explained that I was making plushies and needed the tear-away stabilizer to draw the embroidery outline on#In my head I was being very tempered because while /I/ know that I'm making a Max plushie not many people are familiar with him (wrongly so)#Lol#So we continued and he was like ''Oh cool I've made some patches with embroidery :)'' so I asked of what and he lead with CotL's crown#And then-#Look Zarla's work was Already on my mind with Max as my project I was in a Delicate Way already do you really expect me not to talk about it#The answer was no and he walked away with a Vargas recommendation in his pocket I hope he enjoyed it lol#And I got my fabric and started work on Max's face it's fine it all worked out in the end it's all good it's great lol#I Was encouraged to come back with my finished project so that's on my to-do once I get him in a presentable state haha

Finished upcycling my Dad's old shirt just in time for the holiday! All done by hand bc I don't trust sewing machines not to jam on me avsksv
Also here it is wrapped bc I worked hard on that too lol (+ my mom's gift which I did not spend hours of work on but still wrapped nicely :])
#im really happy with it!!!#and that i got it done in time lol#i was gonna put it on a grey shirt but I couldnt find a plain one at the dollar store#so i went with a nice dark red to go with the orange :]#i actually brought a piece of the fabric to the store so I could find a good match#and now I got it all nice and wrapped up for tonight!#mending#sewing#upcycling#the old shirt had huge holes in the armpits and was generally pretty worn out#but its one of his favorites so I figured I'd fix it up for him :]#and i really like the look of the visible stitches#i love when things are visibly hand made <3#i also love wrapping presents :3 its like freeform origami :D

i really enjoyed my layover in seoul, i got out of the airport on a transit visa and took the express metro to the city and was amazed at how much it was like new delhi tbh. obviously i didn't understand any of the signage so i got lost sometimes and the food options would be very limited for vegetarians but it was amazing. definitely much cheaper than i expected too! i had a nice 5 hour day trip and shopped for souvenirs and spent maybe 50 usd. planning a vacation in the next. 3 years or something.
#corner stores in asia remain undefeated thai and south korean#7-11s are the fabric that make these societies better. i fucking love corner store onigiri.

Me: Hey Girl! We are moving back to college tomorrow! You should go pack something!
A big part of my brain labeled DENIAL as it shoves my rational brain out of the driver seat:
SORT YOUR BREAD CLIPS COLLECTION NOW
#i need to fix the jank fabric in this box (it’s hank because I put it in there two days ago and know nothing about how to properly do that)#and I need a new box with compartments for them… as much as a I love this star fabric#after I close the box they just get loosely jangled around in there#though I suppose if they are stored sorted that takes the fun out of sorting them on occasion#anyway I used to just sort them by color but I also did it by shape this time#lots of differences I never noticed before!!!!#one day I will know the names of the species and stuff like that#bread clips#occlupanids

thought I’d try asking here- other than eBay/Etsy are there any sites you guys like that have antique and vintage sewing supplies? Specifically lace, trims, and ribbons! if there are specific shops you recommend from eBay/Etsy though I’d love to see that too!
#I want to use nice quality lace and old lace has the weight that suits needlepoint#I picked up some pretty lace from a local fabric store. The only one around here. But like I’d love variation too#See me now choker I’ve decided needs antique lace though.#Anyways I haven’t had much luck in my search but honestly it’s probably a me problem…#Also why is shipping on 0.05 g of lace 60 dollars. Girl…
