making monsters

I’ve been making monsters all week. Kind of because Halloween is coming up, and kind of because I just like making monsters. Evidence: wine charm monsters bookmark monsters wee felt monsters microwave monsters oggle monsters desk monsters I also made Jeremy a bug-eyed swamp monster/dinosaur hoodie for Halloween last year, because when I offhandendly said […]

felt jellyfish

I’ve been making a lot of octopuses lately. No, not octopi, that’s something else – the correct plural is in fact octopuses, as my friend Leelee will adamantly explain if you doubt me. First I made little free standing octopuses for my store, because they are cute and fun and that is half the reason […]

Convention prep – buttons and bag inserts

It’s one of those little those little truths in life: there are never quite enough pockets. Whether in bags, backpacks, pants or other clothing articles, there are just never quite enough pockets not to be shuffling your fingers around the bottom of your bag, looking for whatever small item has gotten lost in the depths. It’s bad […]

LRR scouts – an outdoorsy adventure in web video costuming

I was never in Girl Scouts or Girl Guides or (obviously) Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or any of the various youthful North American scouting groups there are to be in. I know that Boy Scouts carry pocket knives (well so do I, thanks very much) and Girl Scouts sell cookies, and that the Girl […]

big storms, big trucks, and big tank tops transformed into vests

We had a thunderstorm this July! And then we had another small one just this week. Two in one year – the apocalypse is surely on its way. See, I live on the west coast of Canada, where the weather almost never threatens to kill you or does anything terribly interesting at all, really. The […]

galaxy fabric – MAKER OF WORLDS

So, long and slurred story short, I finished this blog post earlier, came home and drank a bunch of beer to celebrate the fact that it’s Friday and screw everything that has been irksome and difficult about this week, and now my will to write a cohesive introduction has been almost entirely annihilated*.

beginnings – galaxy dress

We all like to pretend a lot of things about ourselves. Like that we never get morning breath, are always likeable, don’t sweat (or don’t smell funky when we do), always know what we’re doing, meant for it to happen that way, and OMG totally didn’t see that email, so sorry (but actually just didn’t feel […]
