sick and tired of seeing people use zip ties for boning. listen to me i am a costume designer stop using plastic which does not hold your shape (the whole point of boning) you do not need to buy proper coiled boning or anything: go to a hardware store and find flat metal tension spring (google tells me that's what it's called, unfortunately i also don't know what its used for in hardware store related things so i cant describe it if that isnt the correct translation, soz) you can get a roll of 15m x 4mm tension spring for about 15 euros where i live and then you just have to cut it with metal shears (you can use a regular cutting pliers probably but if you have metal shears you will be happier) then either file down the edges a bit if you're genuinely gonna wear it a lot, or you just wind some tape around the edges to make sure putting them in the channels isn't gonna rip your fabric and anyway now you have an actually functional boned garment. go to a hardware store and show them this pic btw:

^ this is what you want. also bc this is 4mm wide around stress points like closures you want to make 2 channels right alongside each other and put in 2 pieces of tension spring for stability

Some updates from this week 😊 I caved and got myself a sewing machine!! I found one second hand very cheap, so I went shopping for some instructive sewing books to start learning and I found a few! but I also found ..all these other books 😔💦 I keep buying repeats because of the pretty editions or different language but..these editions of classics have embossed covers with metallic details, gilded edges an glossy pages 😭 I also found this travel journal from Charles Garnier when he travelled across Spain in 1868 with his wife, painter Gustave Boulanger and architect Ambroise Baudry and documented everything they did in little verses and sketched the buildings and people and it is so funny, it even has the whole itinerary with travel times, hotels and more all in his handwriting and with a transcript, I love it so much 🥺

listen if i could i would make everyone i know play disco elysium and than write me an essay about it. i need to know what's going on in everyones brain. i need it. opening my friends skulls (affectionate) and looking in there like good god tell me what the phrase "you're a violent and irrepressible miracle" does to your soul.

i'm so normal about this i swear

Not my quilt but I love this idea of using various flower fabrics to make a Garden in Bloom! – A Colourwash Quilt. It would be very simple to make: Cut all your fabric squares the same size. Lay them out to create the look/pattern you like then sew the together. This person did a hidden binding (I haven't tried that yet).
