How does one pronounce your username? Also, what does it mean or represent?
oh it’s susurrant and petrichor, which mean “of a whispering or rustling sound” and “the smell of earth after a rain” respectively! one would pronounce it SUSS-er-ant-PE-tri-cor altogether, I think!
it doesn’t really mean anything except being two obscure-but-evocative words I like.* it’s also from a silly game some of my college friends used to play where we tried to come up with impossible or meaningless adjective-noun combinations, which “susurrant petrichor” would be (because susurrant only describes a sound and petrichor is a scent). English majors, amirite?
*I’m inclined to say I learned both words from Terry Pratchett novels, though I’m not CERTAIN about petrichor! I may have gotten that one from Forgotten English.
jtheobscure replied to your photoset “for @sandraugiga who wanted to see my garb. I’m the fat girl in...”
Wow! You are so awesome. To be able to make this stuff for yourself and friends? Wow! Kudos. I admire this so much.
Thanks!
See the thing is? I don’t think this is terribly impressive. With the SOLE exception of the corset, it is literally all straight seams. The green and orange set? Took me about a week and is in quilting cotton.
The corsets are a bit harder, but mostly because I have to make a new pattern for it each time and that requires a second pair of hands. They’re fiddly to sew, and zipties will break SO MANY needles when used as boning (I think the record is 3 in one evening before i threw everything across the room and went back to knitting). But if you can sew a straight line, you can make a corset.
here, have a link for how to make an elizabethan corset: http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/ (actually, the entirety of ElizabethanCostume.net is hella useful... and OH! it’s updated since the last time i went looking)
