@jaejunnie
⭐ I'm Jun
⭐ This is just a "main hub" so I can have all my sideblogs. I mainly post and reblog normal stuff here, like photos, art progress, life blogging, sewing/fashion design, and random thoughts.
⭐ I post/interact most on @jumbledjun, which is where I keep most of my fandom stuff (basically a wbk blog <333)
⭐ I have other sideblogs but I won't list them all here. All likes and follows come from this blog, so if you're curious about whether I own a certain blog, just ask :)
I have so much homework i have to do but I dont want to do it... I just wanna read fanfiction and obsess over the same queer couple but noooo I have to be academically responsible
I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.
In another universe, I am lovable
RIP Joann, now what?
FIND AN UPDATED LIST HERE
I wanted to make a post I could copy and paste and or link when I see folks asking where to buy fabrics when Joann is gone. I sew a lot, generally between 100-200 items a year and I don't do it on a big budget. Stores are not in a particular order.
Notions:
Wawak.com - start here, mostly stay here. Wawak is a supplier for professional sewing businesses and have the prices that show it. I will not pay for gutermann Mara 100 anywhere else. I buy buttons, tools, thread, and most elastic here.
Stitch Love Studio - this is where I buy lingerie supplies https://www.etsy.com/shop/StitchLoveStudio?ref=yr_purchases
Fabric:
Fabric Mart - this is one where you want to sign up for emails and never buy unless its on sale. They run different sales every day and they rotate. Mostly deadstock fabrics but I buy more from here than anywhere else. Fantastic customer service and if you watch you can get things like $6 wool suiting or $4 cotton jersey. https://fabricmartfabrics.com/
Fabrics-Store - again, buy the sales not the full price. Sign up for the emails but redirect them to a folder because it is TOO MANY. They stock linen or good but not amazing quality. https://www.fabrics-store.com/
Purple Seamstress - This is where I buy my solid cotton lycra jersey. They have other things, but the jersey is what I'm here for. Inexpensive and very good quality. If you ask she will mail you a swatch card for the solids. https://purpleseamstressfabric.com/
LA Finch - deadstock fabrics with a fantastic remnant selection https://lafinchfabrics.myshopify.com/
Califabrics - mix of deadstock and big brands, easy to navigate and always seem to have good denim in stock. https://califabrics.com/
Boho Fabrics - good variety, nice bundles. I have also gotten some really great trims from here. https://www.bohofabrics.com/
Firecracker Fabrics - garment and quilting fabrics, really nice selection and great sale section. I've bought $5 yard quilting cottons here several times. https://www.firecrackerfabrics.com/
Hancock's of Paducah - Quilting fabric and some limited garment fabric. AMAZING sale section. Do not sleep on the sale section. This is my first stop when buying quilting fabrics. Usually the last stop too. Not particularly speedy shipping. https://www.hancocks-paducah.com/
Itokri - This is something a little different. Itokri is an Indian business with incredible traditional fabrics. Shipping to the US is expensive, but the fabric is so inexpensive it evens out. I generally end up paying like $30 for shipping. Beautiful ikat and block prints. https://itokri.com/
Miss Matatabi - this is a little treat. This isn't where you go to save money, but there are so many beautiful things in this shop. Ships from Japan incredibly quickly. https://shop.missmatatabi.com/
Lucky Deluxe - Craft thrift store, always has an incredible selection and fantastic customer service. I need to close the tab fast because I never go to this website without finding something I need. https://www.luckydeluxefabrics.com/
Swanson's - the OG of online craft thrift stores, but I find their website harder to navigate. https://www.swansonsfabrics.com
Honorary Mentions: I haven't shopped at these places yet but I have had them recommended and likely will at some point.
A Thrifty Notion - https://athriftynotion.com/
Creative Closeouts - https://creativecloseoutsfabric.com/ being rebranded to sewsnip.com on March 1 - quilting deadstock
Hawthorne Supply Co. - I just got this rec and I think I need to not look too closely or I'm going to slip with my debit card. https://www.hawthornesupplyco.com/
This is not an exhaustive list of everywhere you can buy fabric, or even a full list of where I shop. There are SO many options out there in the world. You also need to think outside the fabric store box. I thrift men's shirt fabrics for quilts and sheets for backing fabric. I don't do a ton of in person thrifting and my local stores don't get a lot of craft materials but every thrift store is its own universe and reflects the community it is in. Go out and find something cool.
Oh and final note: Don't shop at Hobby Lobby.
Unfair of my job to expect me to show up when I have arts and also crafts to do
Anutrof
literally crashing out because my college professor is "no ai" but she forces us to run our work through gptzero and if we have ANYTHING over 20% she automatically fails our assignment with no regard or hearing out our case and it's literally NOT FAIR.
we are running and giving up our own words and writing to ANOTHER ai tool in order for you to determine whether we used ai or not.
to make things WORSE gptzero SUCKS. i dont use any ai at all but everything i put through it is 27%+ like im so mad i cant even with this
ai is STEALING from US. we are not using ai, ai is using OUR writing.
MY WRITING DOES NOT SOUND LIKE AI.
AI IS JUST STEALING MY WRITING. AI IS STEALING OUR WRITING. OUR ART. OUR LIVELIHOODS.
how can i even prove to you my writing is real, that i am real, that i have worked hard for this when you're turning to the very tools you say you despise.
ALSO i want to point out that "ai pattern" or "ai writing techniques" are not legit at all because there's so much freaking ai slop out there that we might be unknowingly seeing, consuming, and reading that we can also pick up on those "patterns" unconsciously (even though they didn't even belong to ai in the first place!!!!)
it's like if you can actually write decently/well, have good grammar, use academic language, are confident in your writing style THEN YOU'RE AUTOMATICALLY "AI"
im so freaking tired oh my godddd get me out of here.

i know everyone's drawing that one specific pose but there are so many excellent poses/other compositions here~
I’ve decide to try to do quilted banners without using any patterns! The stars are a bit wonky but i’m satisfied with the result. The dog are all hand sewn little pieces of felt!

You should have your own website
As an Internet Veteran* and a web developer, I have a lot of strong opinions about the Internet and the direction it's going in.
Now I'm gonna allow myself a rant and hopefully convert at least one of you, and then I'll go back to obsessing over imaginary people. Ok? Ok. *I've been online in one way or other since the late 90s/early 2000s.
Yes, much of the Internet sucks now...
In the beginning, everyone had their own site. Fansites. Art portfolios. Online journals (the word "blog" wasn't invented yet). Lots of weird places you'd stumble upon by link-hopping from site to site.
But of course, as soon as the technology took off, the market noticed. Social media came along and made it easier to create an account on their sites than make something for yourself, so that's what everyone did. And here we are now.
Instead of a million little houses built by passionate individuals and all having streets and pathways linking to each other, we have these massive walled gardens of rented flats built by commercial interest. They're keeping their users like animals in a zoo where everything is an account and a subscription and an ALGORITHM (gods I hate algorithms almost as much as I hate AI) and monetized by taking our data* and using it to show us ever-increasing amounts of ads. *Collecting more data is all this age verification/chat control nonsense is about btw. I don't believe for a second they're actually interested in "protecting children" or anything of the sort.
...but there's still hope
Good news is, the personal non-monetized Internet is still out there. It's just been buried under a fuckton of ad-infested garbage and can be tricky to find.
There are still entire communities of people taking pride in making their own personal websites instead of relying solely on social media.
The main reason is of course because it's plain ol' fun, but another big point is to break out of the zoo. To take back some semblance of control over your digital life and contribute to an Internet that is still made by and for regular people, not for corporations. If we can make websites ourselves, we negate some of the power they hold over us. No need to get quite so devastated when Tumblr/AO3/Meta/etc yet again changes something for the worse if you always have your own site to fall back on.
As neat as it is to have everyone on social media, I wish more people would set aside the time to make their own sites.
We all live online, might as well have your own house. A house you can build however you want and can be taken down and moved somewhere else should the need arise.
"But but but my audience..?"
Yeah, sure, the zoos are useful for meeting people and getting your work seen. I'm here too, aren't I? I understand you want to be where most of the eyes are. What I'm getting at is: YOU SHOULD HAVE BOTH!
Use whatever to network and find your friends and fans - but don't put all your digital eggs in one corporate basket. Just like you sync your phone to the cloud and back up your hard drive (you are backing up your hard drive, right? Right?!) you should back up your creations and post them somewhere where you have control over them. Somewhere people can see your things without having to sign up for another bloody account.
While I realise I make webweaving sound like some activism thing, it really is a cool hobby.
I can't overstate how fun and rewarding it is to have your own place on the Internet! ❣️ Poking around with the layout and content and learning how it all works under the hood. ❣️ The thrill when you wrangle the browser into submission and get it to work exactly how you want it ❣️ Making friends and trading knowledge with other web-weavers ❣️ Not to mention the pride of showing the link to people like "yeah, I made this. And I made the website it is on too 😎"
It's beyond worth it for the skills you learn and the people you meet! At least think about it, please.
"But I can't code or design, how would I even make a website? It's too much work"
Can you take a prewritten text document and edit it? That's all you need to start. Can you edit your Tumblr theme? Shit, you're halfway there already.
Creating a simple personal site really doesn't have to be that complicated.
There are boatloads of free ready-made layouts and templates you can edit and free graphics so you don't have to start from scratch. Many websites don't even have graphics at all. There are also free content management systems that, once set up, allows you to edit most things without any coding at all. Installing, say, WordPress takes 5 minutes if even that.
Not to mention the myriad of very beginner-friendly tutorials and even real live people to ask.
Us personal web enthusiasts are THRILLED whenever someone new wants to join our ranks and most will fall over themselves trying to help. We're here for you. Hell, I'm here for you. My DMs are always open, don't hesitate to give me a shout if you wanna talk websites 🤝 (or previously mentioned imaginary people, I'm not fussy haha)
A few links to get you started:
32bit.cafe is a community of personal web enthusiasts and a great place to start. They have a massive list of resources and you can join the forum or discord if you want to chat with people.
Sadgrl has a lot of guides and resources too.
