Niche Memes I Have Made About Sewing And/Or Theater And/Or Sewing For Theater

A while ago I posted this image I made to represent the emotion of "When the costume shop manager is being particularly difficult"

(This is the iconic graphic design of the website offstagejobs.com)

And now I'd like to share various memes I have made about work in the hopes of finding some theater tech and/or sewing solidarity.

This one is "When you have to sew on your domestic machine at home after sewing on the industrial machine all day"

This one is "When you're stressed at work so you turn on "Appalachian Spring" to calm down but it's not working so the vibe is like:"

(That one's pretty specific).

These two are untitled:

This one's more of a general industry meme:

Ok this one is titled "After sewing all day and then going home and doing crafts and then doing craft projects all weekend"

And this last one is "Stuff in my Shakeapeare theater costume stock that just makes sense: Like twenty strawberry handkerchiefs"

Thank you for your time, niche memes are my passion.

I finished sewing my first little coffin shaped purse with this pattern for little coffin shaped purses (the In Memoriam pattern from Starling Stitches) and while there’s tiny things I would change about the pattern itself (making the interior illustrations more friendly to grayscale printing, basically) it was a fucking delight to sew. Hugely hugely satisfying to be able to sit down and finish a project, especially when my current big project has been hobbled by cat interference.

(Pic taken from the listing, obviously, not my own make. I don’t want to bother getting out of bed for that tbh.)

Next time I make it, I’m doing to do it as an ita bag. Gotta store my macabre pin collection somewhere, gang.

does anyone have any professional plus size dress forms theyd recommend? im preferably looking for the style that has the start of legs, not one thats joined all the way down.

ill take any reccs regardless of budget but i am looking for something on the cheaper end (of the prices good, body accurate forms can be, anyway!)

(im uk based, if that makes a difference)

Being able to sew your own clothes may not be the most accessible things (especially sustainably) but I will forever be an advocate for being able to MEND your own clothes

Even if it’s a kinda ugly whip stitch on the inside of your shirt or a ladder stitch to adjust the size of some jeans or a mismatching patch on the sole of your socks— literally anything that’ll make your clothes last longer, even if it just means they’ll last long enough for you to give it away to someone else

And then when it can no longer be mended, use it to mend other clothes
