Howdy! I’m an avid sewist and wannabe jack-of-all-trades. Please tell me about any and all hobbies in existence, the worst that could happen is that my life becomes de-railed in the pursuit of happiness.

Oh, maybe now’s a good time to mention that I’ll be teaching a class for my city’s Art Center! Come check it out if for some unfathomable reason you are nearby every saturday from 1-3pm for either all of march or april AND have $65 (or $50) to your name

Just took my (boomer) parents’ advice and walked around downtown handing out my flyers like a little Victorian newsboy. It fucking worked but also I have been dying from A Heart Complication ever since

Wanted to make a hat. Went thrifting. Saw vintage blue hat. Tried it on. Saw that I don’t have the brains to fill it out. Bought it anyhow (<< you know why). Screaming crying trying to learn millinery in uhhh the last two hours. Already a mess :/

Dinner dress in damask silk taffeta. Sash with hand beaded fringe detail. I’m nearly ready to hobnob like it’s 1953.

What I didn't understand when I was first starting is that sewing is only ~10% using the sewing machine. The rest is all of the planning and prep to do that 10%. And the more planning and prep you do, the easier sewing the seam on a machine will be. #fiberarts #sewing

Starting my first entirely hand sewn project today- or at least the first in many years! It’ll be a remake of a 1910’s dress I saw recently, but in this weird half windowpane half traditional plaid that I ADORE 🪡💜🧵

So excited for Christmas, it looks like I’m getting everything on my wish list 🤭

Had a vivid-ass dream about hats last week and the respective note on my phone filled with delirious ramblings about what my dream hat was haunts me daily.

When people know you're some sort of weirdo history addict obsessed with old stuff, they sometimes get in touch and ask if you want what they were about to throw away.
And that's how some strangers gave me this wonderful sewing machine!
