"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

[rhodaperdition]

I have a secret Onlyfans!

…whoops, secret’s out.

Please share pics of your cat(s) interacting with a quilt. No other animals unless at least one cat is also present and interacting with a quilt, please. I miss my cats, and how much they liked to be involved.

This is Portia, who decided that the hoop of my mom's ongoing quilting project was the perfect spot to sit.

here’s our lovely lady sitting on one of my mom’s quilts!

My babies are so helpful

[rhodaperdition]

Nova (black cat) loves a quilt, but not as much as Sam (grey cat) who thinks “this is for me specifically” and needs to be involved in every part of the process.

[rhodaperdition]

Hahahaha this leg illusion is so satisfying!

Man… I keep learning cool stuff in pole dance class but I never film! Alas

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

[fatmasc]

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

[bosstoaster]

OP I owe you my life

[whatchamacallitz]

[insanefiercecorpse]

Latest micro-hobby obsession of mine is modifying this $30 leather jacket from the thrift store.

First I stitched this back patch on. I bought it a year ago but waffled on how to affix it to the jacket- it was an iron on, but I doubted the adhesive would do well with leather. But then also, hand stitching through two tough materials would be a bitch! In the end I just decided, who needs fingers anyhow? I went through a lot of bandaids but it’s on there!

Then I started spiking it. This part is so satisfying and fun and I’m just going to keep doing it in little spurts until the whole thing is covered. Like a hedgehog.

Anyway lads, don’t hammer your face bones. Hammer holes into your jacket instead and then put spikes and studs into them. Better return on investment I think.

[rhodaperdition]

Here’s how it’s going currently. I’d say it’s a third of the way done maybe?

[rhodaperdition]

I love it when he looks up at me like this 🩶

@staff what's up with the 2nd review submit button? A post of mine got flagged as mature content but there was no way to submit an appeal because I kept getting an error message. Uncool! Also, straight up, just let tumblrinos be sexy again, what the hell.

Another thing I’ve been working on recently is custom polewear. My instructor commissioned a scale mail set, so I am experimenting with ways to create something conducive to pole dancing. There are a million ways to make scale armor, but this project has situationally specific concerns!

My first thought was to use plastic scales to avoid scratching the pole with metal. The next idea I had was to create a base garment and make scale panels that would detach- that way the garment can be washed, and won’t have jump rings as the stress points. It has to move with the dancer and be comfortable and durable.

These are the scales we chose!

We decided on a shape and I made a prototype of the base garment, shown here. I wore it to a freestyle pole party and while the bottoms worked great, the top did NOT hold the nips in. While that’s not a dealbreaker in performance, it’s distracting and annoying if you’re not planning on it. I’m reworking the construction of the top so that it’s more secure, but the bottoms were ready for prime time!

We wanted the fabric and the scales to match somewhat, so I found this dead stock 4 way stretch and lined it with black swimsuit fabric I had in the stash. Additionally, the dancer wanted a thong back, so we added a third O-ring. I connected them with adjustable straps I made from the spandex and lingerie sliders. Sliders are a game changer for me!!! It really helps make sure things fit securely.

Stay tuned for updates! Like my frustrations with how fiddly scale mail is- regular 4-in-1 chain mail is fine once you get the hang of it, but the scales are hella annoying!

Ok, top pieces made- I think they might actually need additional cross straps in the back to stay put. I have a fitting with the client tonight and if it’s basically okay, I’ll finish off with top stitching. (It looks a bit ill-fitting on my body, obvs. The dress form has a few weird dimensions that make it hard to use for one-piece bodysuits.)
