“Temporary stitches” all stitches are temporary if you have a pair of scissors and aren’t a coward

"Don't just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!" unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn't involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that'd be great

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

I love it

“thrift stores in my area don’t sell punk/goth clothes” YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT PUNK/GOTH YOURSELF. GET OUT OF THE MINDSET THAT ALT FASHION IS JUST PRE-MADE WAITING FOR YOU ON A SHELF. BUY THAT “WORLD’S BEST GRANDMA” SHIRT AND CUT IT UP FOR PATCHES AT LEAST!! MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!!!!! FUCK

About

Hey there, I'm H (they/them) and this is my DIY fashion tumblr blog. My main is homo-adaptionem.

Been making kandi for a few years, but I still consider myself a novice. Learning to sew; mainly just been repairing old clothes & sewing patches on jackets. Not punk, goth, etc.; just alt.

Like/reblog spamming is fine, I don't mind at all.

If you want my attention, you have a better shot if you shoot me an ask, as I rarely check my mentions/replies. I have a shit ton of stuff blacklisted, so I may not see your asks/mentions/posts if they include slurs, content triggering to me, etc. It's not that I'm ignoring you, I'm just trying to take better care of my mental health, y'know? Gotta police my own intake of content, etc. etc.

Most things are tagged, so block what you need to using tumblr's own blocking function, Xkit, or Tumblr Savior. Slurs and triggering content usually have a CW before them, even if the OP doesn't consider the content triggering. I tag excessively, deal with it. Tags relating to my OG content can be found at /ogtags.

DNIs/DNFs are useless and performative; I just block (& report if needed) who I dislike/etc, and I block liberally, for any reason. I respect most other people's DNIs, if they're accessible. If I can't read it, I won't bother. Don't like me? Block me.

Stay safe and stay weird!
