For those starting to sew, Mood has some great free patterns and sewing help. I recently made yet another pinafore thanks to one of their patterns The Gambit pinaforeThey have nice basics, such as shorts, blouses and circle skirts, and some of their tutorials are really step by step ^_^ Here is the pinafore I made with their pattern (kinda, I actually winged it, but got inspiration from theirs), as well as my newest project, a 70s jumpsuit but make it goth XD (I had to sew wig snaps to it to attach it to my bra, the bustier wouldn't stick to my boobs XD) I’ve seen some amazing patterns* on mood but I’m a lazy bitch & if I’m using a pattern I just want to “cut & sew” & their patterns print off on legal paper not A4 size….. so I haven’t bothered…. Stupid really! And I just love your style! So gothly cute! * Hibiscus Robe

Last item I panicked sewed before my holidays : a friend of mine purchased linen curtains that were super long and needed shortened, she asked me if I could do that and I kept the leftover as “payment” Now I have this wonderful linen that is incredibly soft and lightweight and I’m so happy with the blouse I made out of it. It has the floofiest sleeves I’ve ever done XD

Beautiful I love the cuffs.
I have started sewing a kimono but I'm indecisive about it - this is why I like working to a pattern - it's so much easier when the choice is made for me!

I understand! I winged this one because I wanted something pretty basic, but most of the time I am way too indecisive to go without a pattern and a carefully drafted plan XD
Ps: the cuffs are from an old silk shawl that my grandmother bought in the 60s or something, I reused the shawl and most of its trim to make a summer tank top, and I had just enough trim left for those cuffs! Some bits are a bit yellowed but I don’t care that much.

You sewing people just AMAZE me, I have no idea how to do such a thing. I'm just over here doing the oil painting thing ... these are the last two I worked on. Neither are quite done but both are SO SATISFYING to do. EDIT: OMG those are HUGE!!! I don't know how to make them normal sized!

Wow, I love both paintings! You're so talented! Thank you so much. I'm mostly just driven to make shit ALL THE TIME. I'm convinced when you do something so much you'll end up good at it eventually. My early paintings were not quite so pleasant. I've been working on a fabric lampshade piece that I just finalized today. It's so very very fun. I can't seem to sort out how to get the image link from my Patreon on this Mac (stupid new laptop ... I really am a PC girl) - but here's a link to the full post about the process: www.patreon.com/posts/69203368. I'm just having a gay old time over here doing ridiculous things and smiling about them.
