<3 to watch professional tailoring videos -- I may or may not get an answer to my sewing question, but I'm guaranteed to discover many little machines, tools, and haberdashery items that immediately seem essential to my continued success as a seamstress.

Nothing will make you angrier about fast fashion than learning to sew. #1, people have zero appreciation for the time and labor it takes to make something ("How can you charge $35 for that?" uhhh because it took me two hours bro. Plus material costs. Trust me, I want people to be able to afford the things I make and if anything my prices are low!). #2, The shittiest cheapest material in the world does not change the calculation that those $20 pants were made with slave labor.

i hand sew all of my cosplays so i should be given some sort of slack whenever they come out slightly ugly because every video on the internet for anything related to sewing now all has machines involved

Take brand labels off your clothes even if you don't have to. Cause that's yours now, yeah? Why do they get to have their name on your stuff?? Stop idolizing corporations. It's actually really odd to have and even display brand names on stuff.

someone please remind me in a week or so that I want to make a hippo pattern I have no time to make it now but wouldn’t it be cute?? Edit: thanks everyone! The reminders worked and I did make the hippo pattern

I hope you get to write a novel one day!!

Aw thank you! I met one of my grandad's cousins earlier this year and he was like 'ah, are you one of those work during the day, writing a novel by night kind of people' and I was like no, but I probably should be~

I've just been on a visual art kick instead since writing full time and then also outside of work was a bit much, but I'm hoping now I have a job in technical writing rather than comms and journalism I might have a little more mental energy for it~

(not that I have any hot ideas right at this very moment but I need to get back into the habit of writing fiction, I am so out of practice)

I keep doing this thing where I get really into a hobby [usually craft related] and I'll be SO psyched for it and after like a week I just fucking forget about it completely but I'll never actually get into the hobby itself I'll just watch a million youtube tutorials but never buy any of the materials or try it myself because I never get to that stage in the process

[aropride]

how are we doing today!

[deus-ex-mona]

very sadded that no one shares my delight at chair deoxys :(

[sergeantsporks]

Ah, yes, my greatest enemy. Drawing people sitting down.

[cicidraws]

was gonna get a sewing machine on my birthday but im gonna focus on things in need storage-wise and else instead. like a stand for my oculus and a new stand for my monitor bc the current one is literally superglued to stay put

[alivehouse]

one thing i do kind of want to do this year is learn to sew at least to a basic degree

me continuing on thru the constant pressure of feeling like a failure
