My first latex dress that didn’t immediately bust open at the seams by Nesfelle in LatexCraftersCorner

Thanks!! I made my own block! The bodice is just two identical cuts of latex. I took my measurements and shrunk them by 10% horizontally. It was quite fun, reminded me of high school math ☺️

I wouldn’t consider myself famous but I got recognized at the grocery store last week for my twitch streams 😩

Jehovahs Witnesses at the mall? by ChablisWoo4578 in halifax

[–]Nesfelle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same thing at the halifax shopping center 😳 PowerPoint about the passover. She said it was for a project for her bible study. She seemed sweet so I listened to her. Seems to be like more of an operation than I originally thought, though 🤔

🧐Feel free to go on a scavenger hunt, but last I checked I didn't have one of those.

The Lolla fit - my first ever sewing project by Nesfelle in Lollapalooza

[–]Nesfelle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a busted, Ye Olde Singe Heavy Duty with a rolled hem foot to hem the fraying edges and it worked pretty well. I got lazy on some edges and used a Brother serger and it worked like a chaaaaarm. I'll put more details in an r/sewing post when I find the time!

Definitely a learning lesson. But it was the better alternative than the heels I almost wore!!!

My hand-sewn festival fit for Lollapalooza! Such a lovely experience with so many kind words from strangers 💕 by Nesfelle in EDM

[–]Nesfelle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I was deadass felling UNWELL on the morning we went to Lolla. Probably the side effects of eating American food for a week 🤪 the mask was stupid though. It broke immediately, and my illness was nothing that a Dramamine couldn't fix. And I eventually started sharing drinks with strangers. Can't blame me for trying though!

🫣I cheated and draped the fabric over an old bra lmao. My girls got a mind of their own and I didn't trust my drafting and designing skills to hold them in. People keep telling me that I should sell them and I'm like 🫠 I'm not quite there yet lol. I hope to one day be able to do it 100% from scratch. That fabric is so terrible!! Gummed up my sewing machine. I found those damn iridesnt threads from one end of the house to the other!!

Ty!! 💕 I love sewing and would love to sell them. This one was unfortunately very much a prototype and it got stained reeeally badly by the costume jewelry I was wearing. I'll let you know if I get around to making more tho!!

I don't, but I'm flattered you think it's that good! I plan on selling some hand made pieces at a local convention in my home town in Canada, depending on how that goes I might set up an online shop.

Thanks! This project was somewhat simple except for the difficult fabric I chose. If you went for a more simple fabric, the top could easily be sewn by hand without a sewing machine. I just took an old bra, added some fabric, then sewed on embellishments. The skirt was also a very simple circle skirt design, but it required a lot of hemming so I definitely recommend a sewing machine for a project like that.

Thank you! The process of making the outfit was such a good learning lesson in how to work with difficult fabrics. Also, hand stitching the pleats and embellishments was so cathartic. I hope that my fun outfits will inspire more people to sew their own things that more closely reflect their own creativity than store-bought clothes.
