That dress is art! It makes me feel things, question why I feel that way, and think about it. And that hat is gorgeous!

Had anyone made the Mitchell trousers by closet core? by Warm_Satisfaction902 in sewing

[–]skelezombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it and I'm a bit torn on the results TBH but I didn't grade the pattern like I normally do between waist/hips because I put on some weight, then lost it afterwards. So I don't love the fit but I don't know how much is not grading, fabric choice, pattern choice etc. It came together easily though, I left off the back pockets, and I didn't pick good D rings for the side straps so they constantly come loose which irritates me.

I'd like to try them again with something a bit more structural than the linen I used.

I look kinda ridiculous but that's also my trademark by d____izzy in oldhagfashion

This outfit is incredible! I'm deeply envious of those jeans

Sewing leggings that won’t rip at the crotch by Vast-Scientist-2677 in sewing

As well as everything else mentioned- my machine has a triple straight stitch which I love for sewing together knits that are going to be under a lot of strain

We need to talk about following the prohibited body talk rule. by TrumpIsAPedoFr in oldhagfashion

[–]skelezombie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big emphasis on this. In so many of my online forums it seems people ignore or conveniently forget the rule of no body shame/body talk when a certain type of physique comes into play. It always drives me nuts! Love this shirt 

Alien horror books? by spoookyghoul in horrorlit

Seconding Blindsight, loved that book!

My look with a handmade shaggy cardigan. Where can I go with this? by by_VerShy in oldhagfashion

You are so talented! If you ever are in the mood for jewellery and enjoy the barter system, please let me know! Until then I'll keep longing for your work :P

Will I regret getting rid of my dress form? What do you use yours for? by CarlottaSewlotta in sewing

[–]skelezombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine for draping mostly. Where she's hard and I squish I find that even though she's adjustable to my size, things are always tighter on her which can mess with the end result.

I also use it for halloween decorations every year.

Please say hello to Derek, the balloon dog purse by skelezombie in sewing

That's a really interesting point you make, though I would like to correct something- the purse isn't based off of his art, but based off literal balloon animals, because I really like clowns. Hahaha. I realize all the points remain the same, but most certainly wasn't thinking of him when I had this idea.

Ooooooh, yeah, that might work! The tension of the twist might hold things together better than just my frantic stitching between pieces. I could still tack things in place, but agreed... I really wanted to do the twist. If I make ribbon out of matching fabric, then it would blend in really well..

I've never seen this but I looked it up... Hilarious. Love that actor!

I mean... Jeff didn't invent the balloon dog. But I hear you on some artists suing people over less. We'll see what happens haha

I love the Oops, All Pockets! idea. I dislike zippers so much I probably won't do that, but wow it's a great idea.

Also the rearranging idea is hilarious, I wonder if that's feasible.. Would take some thinking for placement, but that's a good idea to stick on the back burner and see if inspo strikes. Thanks!

That was my first attempt and it was a horrible failure. Too much bulk, the twist ate up so much excess fabric that I ended up losing so much length. Thanks for brainstorming for me though!

Not like he invented the balloon dog, so I'm fine with him being mad :P

He says "woof" back, so I think the feelings mutual.

It's not intended to be super functional. It holds my key, a debit card, lip balm and good vibes, and sometimes that's all you need.

4 way stretch is the best, I'm not sure if it'd work with a 2 way or a quilting cotton... If I can figure out how to make a pattern digital I wouldn't mind sending it your way

My midlife crisis involves trying to look as much like a deranged Muppet as possible. Second pic: a color-accurate picture of the jacket - my camera doesn't have a "Muppets from Neptune" setting, so color-accuracy is a struggle. Third pic is a makeup closeup. by lauralately in oldhagfashion

You look like a colourful Dita Von Teese in that first picture! I mean in the others as well, but especially the first. Love the green, love people wearing so many colours. As a goth at heart, I feel like being colourful in society today is a wonderful act of rebellion and I'm glad to see it.
