The latest jacket design I’ve been working on—this is the V2 mockup. The pocket placement is drawn on while I work on finessing the fit so I don’t have to sew pockets into every version.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

A little sneak peek of a new design in progress! Still needs some minor pattern tweaks before I start on the size grade testing, but this is a very promising working sample. I also gotta source a cord for the drawstring…

The last Scout Hat colour sample is complete! Finally timed myself on how long this takes to build, so with that final bit of info I can complete a costing analysis to get these on the store! Huzzah!

Making some last tweaks to the visor pattern for the Scout Hat. Fixing that sad, slouchy band. Version 2.0 looks much improved.

We’re at mock-up ver. 4, but I think I’m getting close! Still working out some of the fit issues, but at this point I’m now expert-level at sewing those bean inserts.

Quilted vest sample is turning out excellently! Lookit that top-stitching! Still needs some tweaks though. Not sure what fabric the final will be? This one is made from some leftover cottons from my cosplay days.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

This vest sample is my current hyper fixation. Excited to do the top-stitching on the quilted layers.

Now that’s a goddamn hat. Heck yeah! 🔥😎🔥

Cool hat project is complete!! …just in time for it to be too warm to wear it. 😭 I’m so happy with the details on this piece.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

This is mock-up 3 of my newest shirt design! Those bean details are looking much closer to how I envisioned, & I’ve improved at sewing them too. Still needs work in the shoulder area—unfortunately Minerva here is not equipped with arms, so I need to find a real human to use for fit testing.

Hat progress! Finishing off the visor today--the bias edge finish turned out beautifully & I am very happy with the topstitching. You can't see his face in the fitting pic, but know that he had a big smile.

Mock-up 1 of the detachable visor! Pretty damn close for a first try. Definitely all those millinery classes paying off. Needs a couple minor tweaks to the size/shape before mock-up 2. Still trying to figure out the buckle situation... looks like I may need to go on a quest.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Current WIP, a gift for my partner. Gotta figure out constructing that detachable visor next... (Design inspo is from Star Wars, colour palette is Halo's Master Chief.)
