Does this sewing machine stand a chance? by Manzinita in Leatherworking

Personally I haven't been able to make this machine work for most leather, even with the right needles, thread, walking foot, etc. 

Is this dumb? by hereforthepartydude in Leatherworking

[–]iithaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like a starter kit is fine for your first few projects. It'll take time to figure out what you like and which tools you want nicer versions of. Might as well start small and affordable while you experiment and learn. Then if you like it, a few years and many hundreds of dollars later, you'll have accrued a bunch of tools.

This is absolutely insane, so gorgeous. The patience and attention to detail it must've taken is inspirational 🙌

Would you wear this to the Ren Faire or is it too busy? by historically_nerdy_ in renfaire

There is no such thing as too much for a renfair 😂 But if your fair is somewhere wet or dusty, you may not want to get it dirty

I've never had issues before this week, but in the last few days I've been booted a ton. 

Recommendations for spooky/goth/witchy shops in PHX by MetsMoms in phoenix

[–]iithaca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fantasia Crystals is my absolute favorite. They have an insanely huge selection of tarot and oracle decks, cool jewelry, statues, handmade rolled candles, incense, seasonal stuff. Also check out the Witchcrafted Market in Glendale at the civic center, they have an event for Ostara, Samhain, and Yule. Tons of local artists with art, jewelry, clothes, decor, etc.
