Most of the stuff I work on at my alterations job is suits, but today I did a prom dress for the daughter of an acquaintance, and everyone else at the prom is going to be soooooo jealous of the 40 cm deep pockets I added.

Yay monsters!! Yes, I remember you posting the first dress, and the fabric was from MyFabricDesigns. They went out of business without even sending me an email about it :(

(And I'm pretty sure I had about 4 dollars in earnings that vanished along with them. Hmph.) I do have designs up on Spoonflower, of course, but the print quality isn't quite as nice.

I'm glad to see the fabrics being used! I still have some frog toile from that site that I've been meaning to make into a jacket someday. Also, I post my art mostly on @vincentbriggs

Little Monsters

Little Monsters everywhere!

I bought this fabric from @pterribledinosaurdrawings designs (but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the website) quite a while back. I made the green design into a dress for my little niece last spring, and saved the rainbow monsters for this year.

Small dresses are so quick to sew up compared to adult-sized ones!

so the average american is not aware of the controversy surrounding jk rowling, like this is a very online kind of knowledge to have. I mean that there are people who fully know I'm trans who talk about harry potter to me and there's no awareness of any of the discourse surrounding the work that's been going on for years, and idk where I'm going with this but sometimes there's a huge gulf between what we expect people to naturally know by virtue of us being on tumblr versus people who are not

One tiny little very annoying thing about blogspot is that when I'm doing stuff with multiple tabs open I like to switch between them using the command & number keys, and I have to remember to not do that if I'm on the blogger tab because hitting those keys there will change the size of the font.

Over the Garden Wall is almost ten years old and that both feels too old and unbelievably young.

I remember first watching this in the backroom of a museum on my ipod touch in late August in 2015 and it still feels like it’s been a pillar of Americana for the past thousand years.
