I'm just a mom with a hyper focus on historical costuming and needlework skills. I'm also an artist and work with autistic children.
I am doing smocking as part of my designs. The section shown is about an inch wide; it started at nearly a foot.
I'm planning on picture smocking with little rat prints, and having it mirror on the other side. Smocking is ancient art. Historical examples in the 16th century were as narrow...

While I've been down with a migraine, I got some stitching in my more lucid, less unconscious moments. I'm hoping to get to the bag portion of this eventually. I'm debating adding pokesnacks inside....

Moth coat/ cloak! Pattern based on real moths, but not a specific one. I want it to feel very swooshy.

Designing my collection. Undergarments are a necessity. I personally don't like separates in my costuming pieces. My goal is to have the ability to clothe a person in mix-and-match pieces.

Slow progress. I took a break to do other art and house duties. But look at that face...

I think it's fairly done for now. I can always go back if I need to.
Prompt: Villain
Colors: yellow and purple
I used the phrase "villains aren't born, they're made" as an inspiration. Also, no kings.

Progress. Main color is yellow, accent is purple. I wouldn't have picked yellow as skin, but....I like it.

Any guesses?

I had today off, so I sat down with a show and went to town hand sewing. When it's set up, I'll do this on Hera, but i can stitch a mockup.
I need to do the outer sleeve, but this is the undersleeve and main top. #art #textileart #sewing #slowfashion

After being sick for a week and hacking my whole lungs out and then hunting a new job... I finally cut the first round of pieces for my moth coat.

I decided I didn't like the page I did before. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't "it". Since this is a redraw of what I did in 2009 to challenge and see what I improved on, I'm not gonna stick to meh.

We've been doing some needed updates, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. We're almost to tiling. The previous owners at some point did it, but it was moldy and rotting. So... we fixed it.
