The World of Julz

Hello, stranger, and welcome to my world! If you haven't noticed already, I'm Julz. I'm a very random, fun loving girl who's always up for an adventure. This is just a peek inside the little workings of my brain. Hopefully you won't get too lost along the way! All I ask is that you kindly take your shoes off before entering and I hope you can find a nice souvenir on your way out :)

A NOTE FROM ALICE:

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that we are approaching the end of the Heartstopper webcomic. Which is very very sad and strange and scary for me!! But I thought it might be helpful for you all to know that the comic will end on April 11th this year. Chapter 8 will end on April 1st, and on April 11th there will be an epilogue.

Thank you for being here for the final part of this journey ❤️

once again thinking about "the lottery" by shirley jackson.

imagine there was a man in the story who went around giving speeches about the importance of the lottery as a tradition. He said the casualties were unfortunate, but also an inevitable price of freedom. Imagine he treated those who sought to end the senseless cycle of violence with condescension and derision, calling them idiotic, naïve, and diseased.

yet when that man was selected for the lottery and stoned to death, everyone mourned him and said how unfair it was that a bright young family man should die so soon. And when people pointed out that this man was killed by a system he adamantly defended and worked to perpetuate, they lost their jobs and were shunned from the community as insensitive and monstrous.

Imagine. Hypothetically. For no particular reason.

due to factors such as "time pressure" and "tulle is of the devil" my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

[sleepnoises]

progress on this includes:

attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it's not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment

attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)

constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it

started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can't visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

[sleepnoises]

Shirt's done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend's fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

buttons!!!!!!

[sleepnoises]

Finished the collar! If you want to make embroidery you cut out of some tulle look like it is On There For Real this is what I did

roughly cut out and place embroidery. baste with glue stick (glue sticks to the back of the embroidery and not the tulle)

tack it down with a color matched running stitch (or whatever) along the stems and centers

cut off more tulle from the edges with tinier scissors

tack down the edges. with, in this case, a different thread color, do a faux chain stitch where you grab the very end of a stitch from the extant embroidery

like so

this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn't get trimmed

and now it moves with the fabric and doesn't stick up at the edges!

hey great news. i look charming in it

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

[edgebug]

i know the floppy haired emo boys of 2006 and 2007 are in their late 30s now and perhaps even their 40s and they have jobs in tech and middle management but PLEASE. we need you. we need you to dye your hair black and put your fucking snakebites back in and paint your nails and go to the mall and kiss each other
