I spent six hours yesterday day steaming and tacking tutus. Sometimes costuming isn’t making glorious gowns, sometimes it’s gossiping with the studio staff and giving careful maintenance to the little things. Pretty happy with the before and afters!!! #dancecostuming #costuming #costumecare

Can you spot the mend? I darned these jeans for a client- vintage 100% cotton denim!! Remember, sustainable fashion isn’t just buying second hand, it’s giving as long a life as possible to the items we have. #sustainablefashion #mending #handsewn

Someone at my last market looked at my stuff and said “it’s all so wonderfully neat!” And I think that meant more to me than someone buying something #crossstitch #handmade #craftmarket

Did the finishing work on these pieces over on my first ever (super scuffed mostly for testing) stream! That’s at mayesmakes on twitch if you like watching people make things

IT BEGINS. my biggest project in a *long time*. @/ motleyfae did an AMAZING job with the hyper specific character concept I pitched. I’m so excited to start! Below will be a break down of the components of the project, and this thread will be updated as it progresses!!

A corseted sleeveless gown in blues blacks and greens, embellished with sparkling beadwork and hip skirts made to look like insect wings. fur trimmed arm bands trail graceful swoops of fabric to the floor while the carapace like front panel of the corset gives a slight armored look

Hello Hello! Welcome to The Woods- your local Deetle's atelier in your local forest glade. How did you find us, so far out? Just where have you wandered in from, little human? Well, you're welcome to stay a while. I'll make tea.
