Sketching poses for an idea I had in the bus today. Also why are the Strong Magical Women poses so often just ass???? The artist will draw her arms all cool and powerful and give her a neat scowl, but then they make her legs go, "oopsie uwu im just a babie 👉👈🥺" and mess up her whole vibe 😒

Don't blink

New embroidery patch for a friend!!! This one was a BITCH to create, had to start over twice and ran into all kinds of issues but I'm So happy with the result!!! The Gallifreian is made by backstitching in black sewing thread and then looping around that with the rainbow-y glitter thread. Way easier than actually stitching with metallic/glitter thread! And the words have a fun tactile element to them now BC they're on top of the rest of the embroidery. Took like 20hours if you don't count the first two tries oooffff

Btw I am 100% certain these are the only rainbow-dino run&fly shorties in the world because I altered them myself!!!

Did a little con crunch last night to enlarge these overalls that I bought a size too small and have been living in my closet for 3 years... This rainbow ribbon was exactly the right width. It came 5cm short, but Nijntje saved the day and covers the missing part. 🌈🐰

If you need to enlarge your own overalls, it's super easy! I put a little how-to under the cut.

You just take out the outer side seams carefully, making sure to use a seam ripper, scissors or blade. Don't cut the sewing allowance!

Then put in a piece of fabric or ribbon band of ½ the width you need added (bc you're adding it twice), using the old seam allowances. In overalls it doesn't matter if it's a little bit too big, so opt for wider if you're in doubt!

The length of your fabric/ribbon should be ~8cm (3 inches) more than the pant leg, because you'll want to hem it. It's also better to opt for a little longer than you think so you can be sure it won't be too short when sewn in!

You can finish the seam any way you like, personally I just stitched a second line to anchor and strengthen the seam but left the edges raw.

If you need to size up multiple sizes I'd recommend doing the same on the inside of the legs. That's a bit more difficult because you're working with a crotch there. Still totally doable though!

Did you know I do embroidery too? Finally finished up this lil patch, I'm gonna sew it to my backpack :)

I forgot to share the pattern, so here it is! It's designed by CryptidStitches on Etsy.

I used colours I had in my stash and had to substitute some, and used DCM2514 instead of white for the lines
