Lots of creative energy recently! Here are some new things I've made ☺️

Made and added this skirt to a bodycon dress I love the neckline of, but never wore. Really happy with the result! Bonus dog judging me for taking pics

DIY Dog Carrier - Needed something to take Danny on public transit adventures. Made this from a cat carrier and a baby bjorn I got from a yard sale for $10.

Rehabbing these sneakers. I found them in a thrift store a couple of years ago and wore them well. I added moleskin fabric to the inside heel for support and comfort. Redyed them to get them back to the OG purple and used beeswax to seal the dye and slightly waterproof them.

Granny Square pants! Inspired by Reddit

This dress has been over a year in the making - and tbh I still haven't blocked it but I'm so happy with how it turned out. I crocheted it from Irish aran wool that I received as a gift 💙💙🇮🇪💙💙

Finally finished this absolute beast of a stash-buster! Made a duvet cover out of all the old quilting scraps that have moved with me multiple times. I'm really happy with it!

The problem with sewing is that you quickly realise you have dumped lots of skill points into control thread and furthermore, there’s a lot of other hobbies that require control thread so you decide to pick up knitting, or crochet, or weaving, and then spinning happens to you, or rug making, or cord weaving, and then you turn the wrong corner on the internet and find out control thread also specs into basket weaving, and book binding, and then you’re thinking things like “I wonder if this also applies to lead climbing” and now you have A Problem

Pt. 3 Hand me down sweater repairs

This is a beautiful cashmere that was originally owned by my Dad. After a shrink in the wash and some holes it made its way to me. Darned the holes and fixed the neckline.

Pt 2. Hand me down sweater repairs. This one has the most holes and I tried a couple of different methods. I think the darning came out the best.

Pt. 1 Received these sweaters as a hand me down, they had lots of little holes but I forgot to take before pics. This one had a tiny hole in the back and blown out elbows. Darned to repair.

I've been having sensory issues with modern bras recently, so I've been looking to history for better options for me. I crochet this based on Regency Short Stays. Very light support, but it's very comfortable!

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!

My dye pot claims it's next victims! Really interesting how the red lace fully refused to take any color.

Crochet WIP, it will be a sweater dress. Made from an Irish wool/cashmere I received as a gift 🥰🇮🇪

[crackedcloset]

I got a dye pot. Nothing can stop me now!

I hate white and cream, I look terrible in it and it's impossible to keep clean. Used Rit Dye in purple and navy blue mixed. Variety of fabrics lead to some interesting color differences. Really happy with the results!
