Lore. The author titled this toolkit “Flowers,” bc that was the vibe of the strategy. “A resistance rooted in care, is like putting flowers in the barrels of fascist machinery.”🌻🪻🌻🌹🌼🌺💐🪷

My recently sewn 1920s wear at the larp Miskatonic University by Chaos League with Reverie Studios. I also made the retro pennant to put on my door. Gaines was my character’s name. They were reworn at a larp playtest. I also made a new hat from Wearing History’s 1930s Sporty Toppers pattern.

Went out to see Freak Slug Monday night wearing one of my favorite me made dresses. Also car selfies are great selfies.

Went out to Amore e Amore on highland in Atlanta — it’s circus themed at the moment!

The embroidered dress is mostly done as is a pink bodiced petticoat to potentially wear underneath.

I’ve finished the quilted silk Spencer. I also added trim to this older dress. Hat & reticule are from Shocking Bad Hats. This new fit is for my next larp in April.

Working on my next sewing project:
A Spencer made from quilted silk using Laughing Moon #137.

Apparently the Delta flight tracker hasn’t caved (yet). The least of our problems…

Test runs of my two complete looks for the upcoming Dresden Files 1920s larp. Dresses sewn by me. I have 1 more dress in progress.

I finished this 80s does 20s dress. I did a handkerchief skirt overlay. It isn’t so visible in this busy fabric but it makes it move.

I might add some trim or something but pretty happy with it as is.
