art dump post
Going through and updating the site this week and I realized I didn’t have all of my recent art uploaded, so this is a catch-up art post. First up, i did post some of the Star Trek pieces I did earlier this year, but I didn’t post all of them. Basically I’d just draw some star trek characters in the…

it was maroon
Even though I said “no” to April Fool’s Day last week, I did make something for it: It cracks me up how well this went together for 5 seconds in photoshop LOL Monday I got my Padme lake dress cardigan from maxxmerch! I love it!! Plus it came with a pin, a print and a keychain!! I filmed an unboxing…

just say no to april fools
I think I have finally decided what to take to Huntsville: 1. Honeymoon Leia 2. Packing Padme 3. Chip & Dale 4. Sailor Jupiter And I may also throw Seven in since she doesn’t take up a lot of room, so no big deal if I don’t get around to wearing her. Based on last year I don’t think I’ll…

snowmageddon – the revenge
Well I didn’t expect last Monday’s snow to completely wreck my entire week of sewing, but it did. I was expecting 2 shipments of interfacing – 1 of a lighter weight for the bags and 1 of a medium weight for the Star Wars dress. And as I mentioned in last week’s post, I ordered a couple more yards of…

Mid-Century Leia Art Project
Finally posting these! So last fall I wanted a “reference” I could use for my Dapper Day Leia dresses (senatorial and bespin), so I decided I’d just draw them, starting with senatorial and using the vintage pattern illustration as inspiration. I did Senatorial and Bespin and then thought, I have all these other ideas for Dapper Leia looks that I…

Sorry I’m a day late! Chase just sent me the pics he took of my Valkyrie costume Saturday last night so I wanted to wait til i had those to post. But before i get to Valkyrie let’s rewind to last week! First up look at all this fabric I donated! I was able to give all of this to…

art dump
Oh hey I forgot to include this in the post yesterday so here’s a rare second post in a week. I finished the Marvel project! I ended up adding 4 more characters to the original planned 24 because they weren’t fitting right, I needed a few more. Since finishing them I’ve gotten them all put together on one file and…

all for freedom & for pleasure
Well we are over here thawing out after the snow. When I posted Wednesday I talked about how much snow we’d gotten on Monday – well we got WAY MORE on wednesday! It ended up being a record – most snow we’ve had in something like 53 years?? Crazy! The backyard Wednesday night: The cove Thursday morning: So yeah Chase…

walking in a winter horrorland
Hey look… I’m posting on a Wednesday, only 2 days after I last posted… what is this, 2001?! Well a lot has happened since I posted on Monday. The “snowpcalypse” was no joke. This is the most snow I’ve seen here in… possibly decades? Remember that pic of our cove on Sunday that I had in the last post? This…

white out
It’s Monday again… it’s snowing with a wind chill of NEGATIVE 3 WTF… but I’m in a good mood because… WE GOT OUR VACCINES SATURDAY NIGHT!! Yes it’s just the first of two but I’m SO EXCITED and relieved to have this shot. Obviously we are not in any of the groups currently getting vaccines – we aren’t healthcare workers/first…

mini muffin monday morning
I got a pack of mini muffins at the grocery saturday to have for breakfast the rest of the week. This morning I wasn’t thinking and brought the entire tray up to my work from home office (instead of bringing 1 or 2). They’re tempting me to eat more than I should. Anyway I actually have some sewing stuff to…

this time baby ill be bulletproof
I once again skipped posting on Monday because I had nothing of importance to post. I did actually sew a little bit last night so I’m posting today. I spent most of yesterday afternoon listing stuff on ebay. For a couple of months now we’ve been stacking stuff we want to sell/donate in the dining room, and I just hadn’t…

i waited…
…until I had more content to post this week, thus why I didn’t post Monday. Monday would’ve just been a whole bunch of gifs I made on the reface app. LOL. I did not do much sewing the past week. I guess I did so much last weekend that I took a break LOL. How often do I get to…

that crying audio bit from tiktok
That’s me today. Because I found these shoes for my disneybound Leia and they were too dang expensive and there’s no way I’m spending that much but now everything else I look at is just (me crying thinking about the jordans). I think what I’m going to do is find some cheap plain white high tops and just do some…

the saga continues
So my big plans for sewing all weekend and getting lots of stuff done were foiled by fabric! Namely by the fact I can’t buy/find the fabric I need locally anymore EVER (*cough*Joann*cough*) so I have to buy online and hope what comes is what I need – either that or pay, wait 2 weeks on a fabric swatch, go…

its a bittersweet symphony
I don’t have a ton to post about this week! Didn’t do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here’s the outer grey piece and…

hello good peoples
Seasonal allergies can DIAF. I took a benedryl last night before bed and this morning my eyes are still itching like crazy, it’s driving me mad. Anyway. Let’s talk sewing since that’s the first thing in my pics for today. Last Monday I got home from work to a happy mail day! Star Trek TNG uniform pattern! WOO White knit…

ummmmmmmmm
my brain’s not working today. Let’s start with fabric I bought in Atlanta. New Crait Leia fabric. This was the most expensive stuff I bought. Liked how it has that tinge of a browner-grey in some lights and desaturated grey in others. It’s got a texture that looked fairly close to the close-ups of the cape. It’s not exact, again,…

this week is a test of patience
Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven’t changed it since daylight savings so it’s been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like “it…

I forgot it was monday
I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase’s suit – we’d gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men’s tailoring. First set was…
