it is done!! at last!! not technically my first time making a cardigan, but first time making one that isn't basically just a big square, and first time doing buttons

shoutout to my mother for commenting multiple times on the bright grassy green cardigan someone in a show we watched was wearing & how hard it is to find things in that colour. made it real easy to know what to do for her birthday

pattern + yarn

Something darkly poetic about making a clay faced plush with a thrifted plushie.

You had a life before, but now you're discarded and unwanted, sitting on display, separated from your past. I picked you because I saw you and knew that you would fit my vision of who I wanted to make. I picked you for who you are, but I will make you someone else. I will bathe you and brush you, and then I will take a seamripper to your face, removing it completely. I will remove all of what is inside you and throw it away, but I will keep the rattle sewn into you. I will fill you with brand new stuffing, then I will sit you beside me as I sketch out your new face. You will have no eyes to watch as I take amateur hands and sculpt your new face, your new identity. I will hold it up to you to make sure it'll fit the hole I tore open, and when it's done I will look at it and think that it's not quite perfect, not quite what I wanted it to be. I will paint it in layers, hoping each one will improve it, improve you. I will painstakingly match the colors to your fur and paws so it looks like it belongs. I will craft a personality, a story, an image with every brushstroke, fill in eyes with glitter to make them shine and coat it with a glossy finish, and when it's done I will hold it up to you and examine it to make sure it fits. I will glue it in place, replacing the now long-gone plush face with this new, hardened and painted face plate I've created. I will decorate you with ribbons and sew on a patch to cover your old logo. It doesn't match, after all. I will spritz you with perfume. And after you're complete, I will look at you and not be quite satisfied, but I will be proud. I will take your picture and show it to my friends. I will present you to my best friend on Christmas morning, and she will love it. You were unwanted, unloved, but I brought you back. I brought you back different, and she will love you. And after once this is all done, I truly do hope that you like your new face, your new insides, your new ribbons and perfume and patch, and that you're happy in this new life I've given you.

This was an act of love, after all.

Does anyone have any recommendations for easy beginner sewing projects, specifically for simple clothes? (preferably items so simple you can draft it yourself or there's a free pattern available)

I'm trying real hard to break out of my decision paralysis

[deus-ex-mona]

farewell, my idiot son…

[orcelito]

Ok. Real question. How many people Actually have believed in Santa? Bc I never did, mostly bc my dad never bothered with the entire pretense, so the whole concept is just. Really fucking strange to me

Putting an actual poll bc I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit thinking about how apparently widespread it is. Like. It's just so... weird? Why is this the thing people have popularized? It makes no sense.

I don't have parasocial relationships with celebrities, I have a parasocial relationship with the guy who runs the counter at a local Chinese restaurant.

SIMPLE COMMISSIONS OPEN

Ok, i cant find any other job nor other way to make some money rn. I still have to pay 450 for credit card, that we used to buy groceries, 450 for electricity and at least mom's phone. Ideally, 700 that we owe for the apartment payments, but we can keep pretending it doesnt matter as much.

So, opening sketch and whump comms bc i cant bring myself to do more than that rn. I can barely bring myself to draw at all. I could even toss some notion of nsfw for an extra 10 bucks.

Prices, how-to's and more info >>here<<

Im relatively desperate, bc even tho i managed to pay the internet bill, it doesnt matter if electricity is cut down, specially as we're having heat waves of about 40C for the last week with no end in sight.

(I listed the amount i need in brazilian real, so it would be around 250usd. 400usd if we count the apartment things that im ignoring.)

I am a firm believer in just asking people what they want for a special occasion and also making wishlists for people so they know what are some things you may want for special occasions
