This strap had come completely unstitched from a beloved purse. I'm so happy I was able to sew it back on and make sure its owner can keep using their purse for a long while yet!

A pale-skinned hand holds the pleather strap of a black brocade purse. The stitching has come loose and the strap is separated from the body of the purse.

I forgot to pre-shrink my ribbon. Three lines of stitching, in the process of being ripped out.

An exacto-knife lies on pink fabric in dim light. A black ribbon can be seen, partially sewn on, with thread scraps littered across the fabric.

I'm not sure who this Luffy was, but they asked for a photo together and had a coin flip game for trading cards! Thanks for taking selfies with me!

She's helping

Today is Distaff Day! This is traditionally the day on which spinning would resume after the holiday season in Medieval Europe. I'm not one for the old feast days except when it's fun, but it's a great day to note that my handspun thread is now available from @trickstersapoth!

What do you do when you find a niche? Live there for a bit! Sometimes you find what your job is, and sometimes it finds you. As for me, the furbies will haunt my dreams and my nightmares

Yeah so that worked really well I'd like to grow my presence online in order to get my name in front of more faces. I don't have much of a following, but as I'm getting more into performance and trying to market my work, I'm finding that having a more consistent presence could be really helpful

@waynetheunknown sent me this photo of him finally getting a chance to use a wig I did for him back in 2020. Heck yes, man

I'm finally getting the chance to finish re-lining the sleeves of this antique coat. I sewed it into the armscyes two weeks ago, but now it's time for the cuffs

A thumb and forefinger hold fabric in place while sewing. The fabrics being sewn are a dark wool and a striped cotton jn red, green, blue, and white. A white headed pin is visible holding the striped fabric in place and a needle carrying black thread is shown against the thumb.
