Kay - 22- she/her (tme) - white - Lesbian LOVING AND CELEBRATING TRANS WOMEN. LOVING AND CELEBRATING TRANS LESBIANS. LOVING AND CELEBRATING TRANS FEMS.

[seamstressing]

Hello everyone!! I’m Kay, a 22 year old seamstress and designer. I sell my items at market stalls in my city, but I’m also a student, studying labor and employment law.

Here’s my carrd and which has an image of my cat, my socials, and my portfolio. It’s a bit outdated but has all the important stuff I think. My personal blog is @sucrefemme! The all-caps lines in my bio are because I’m trying to discourage reblogs/follows from transmisogynists. I love being a lesbian but goddamn does our community have a lot of women who don’t seem to like women very much.

I live in an expensive city and my work only earns me so much. I post my work and tutorials for free but if you can afford it, consider buying me a Ko-Fi?

This art is by my brother, he’s @dino-anarchy and I HIGHLY recommend checking out his art.

I think I’m going through a clown phase

Plague mask I made for my gf!!!! Different design from my last one because I used a pattern this time. It’s felt, sewn together with a slightly modified parachute stitch. Pattern by @mctreeleth !!

[sucrefemme]

Patches I've been sending to pay for a tattoo. They're $4 each plus $1 for shipping, u can DM me if youd like one!!

The "god is trans" and the tranarchy patch have been designed by @girlfag-apologist, she gets the money from the sale of those ones lol

[seamstressing]

Posted this to the wrong blog dammit. Whatever, here's what I've been doing lately!!!

[seamstressing]

Me and @girlfag-apologist as clown girls at our Halloween party!!! costumes designed by me and sewn by us !! Im pink and she’s purple

Hello, friends. Some of you who have been following my work or know me personally probably recognize my friend, Lily. She’s modeled a lot of my stuff over the years, and when they weren’t modeling for me they’re often the one behind the camera.

They’re my best friend. I taught her to sew and she taught me to make jewelry. They played piano and loved card games. My brand is called Love Letter because of the letters we’ve sent back and forth since high school.

Last month, my cherished friend passed away. I miss her desperately. I am posting about this here because of how often she appears wearing my work, behind the camera, or as the inspiration for what I make.

[seamstressing]

I posted this TWICE to the wrong account oops. Some things I’ve been making : )

[seamstressing]

I have to edit all my old tutorials because I realized I’ve been saying “taught” instead of “taut”. Sorry for my epic fail

[seamstressing]

Decided to play with some visible mending and darning on my girlfriend’s shirt that was badly torn. The long blue and white darning was all freehand but the solid blue was with a loom

[seamstressing]

I made costumes for my girlfriend and I. I’m Cupid and she’s a wood nymph.

(She/her for both of us)

I want to start trading and bartering my work with other artists.

It’s like how people talk about “little treats” to get through the day. Rather than getting my kitsch and odds and ends from Target or something I want to get that from other creators.

So anyway. Art trades. Especially with other people in fashion.

Lovergirls - embroidery of my partner and I

EDIT: I wish y’all would stop reblogging this with cute tags we broke up lol

[seamstressing]

Okay so! Tutorials! My plan is to finish the croquis tutorials (probably? There wasn’t a lot of engagement so I might abandon that effort for now lol) and then do a few actually-helpful things.

I want to create a sort of repository of things I’ve learned. So like. Some repair stuff like darning and patching, maybe some “thrift upcycle” type things?

I worked in gender-affirming seamstressing (turning gendered clothing into genderless or opposite gender pieces) for a while before I went into luxury, so I might post some tutorials on that, too.

Right now I’m teaching myself some design stuff and some stuff about sensory-conscious styling (yes there are tricks to figuring out what clothes are overstimulating for you! ESPECIALLY if you’re super temperature conscious. Plus when you know what exact fabrics fuck you up it’s WAY easier to avoid them)

So I guess like… if any of you are down to comment or DM me what sorts of things would help you specifically? I know what’s helpful for me but I have no idea what others want to know

Heart embroidery

[guangchuans-deactivated20220627]

[ID: Two photos of the same embroidery. It’s a realistic looking heart done with red and blue thread. In first photo spaces between the threads are filled with beige fabric, second photo is without them. Both are set against a white background /end ID.]
