So, I’m planning on making an underbust corset, and I have two prints I can use right now. The one on the left is black with dark gray swirls and little eight-point stars. The one on the right is different shades of blue with gold sparkly tiny splatter-type dots all over.

Which do you think I should use?

Sewing Ideas.

I want to make a shirt with the base of a tube top, and bias tape binding at the top, but in the back, it would have two wings coming from the side seams and tapering over the shoulders to end, making sleeves on the front. Not sure if it’s been done, or if it would look weird, but I just want to do it.

Now I need fabric.

OKAY SO MY MOM GAVE ME THIS OLD HORRIBLY GAUDY DRESS LIKE ON THE LEFT AND I MADE IT EVEN WORSE ON THE RIGHT AND IT’S WONDERFUL BUT IT’S TERRIBLE AND I LOVE IT AND I’M WEARING IT TOMORROW.

LONG LIVE AMURRCA.

And while we’re on the topic of bracelets and stuff, le boyfriend made me a red, white, and blue friendship bracelet, so I made him one yesterday.

So, Sou, I made you a bracelet, but if you don’t like the colors, I shall start another with color(s) of your choosing. But probably not beads because I don’t have many colors of beads.

Plus, it turned out lumpy with beads, so I should probably stop that.

Also, I don’t know how I’d get it to you. Maybe I’ll go on a bike ride next weekend or something.

Underthings.

So:

  • Two days
  • One long-sleeved T-shirt
  • One pair of dissected underwear
  • Several episodes of Buffy
  • A couple feet of elastic cord

And I’ve made a pair of underwear that fits moderately well. It took far too long, but I’m a pretty slow sewer, and the amount of difficulty my machine has with elastic and stretch fabric is a little ridiculous.

Oh, and I’d model said underwear, but good God no one needs to see that, and I’d post a picture, but they look kind of retarded unless someone’s wearing them.

So, you see, no pictures.

They look kind of like the Tardis, though.

So Much Potential.

My mom just gave me two cleaned-out little hotel jam jars (you know, the tiny ones they give you as freebies with the single serve coffee grinds.)

They’re the perfect size for something small, but I don’t know what yet. I mean, I’d like to try making some kind of cream or balm or something, but I’m not really into the whole lip balm thing, because I have four bajillion of those already…

Any suggestions?

I made my friend a Peter Pan collar clip-on thing for her birthday.

Don’t tell her I put it on to take pictures for Tumblr.

This little number took me five hours to get right and not super-weird looking. I’ll concede that it still looks weird.
