A moment of calmness 🪡 💘

Yesterday, I experienced something unexpected at a Mental Health Camp. A sense of calmness through needles, thread and a leather journal. 🪡 As I started sewing my journal, I found myself slowly settling into a rhythm. Stitch by stitch, my mind became quieter. The worries, work-related matters and… read more

My Workshop

It's a bit messy, but my living room is setup for metal working, electronic crafts and repair, sewing, and woodworking. Sometimes I wonder if people would buy my art pieces if I advertised. I've made clothing adornments, cosplay props, even glasses frames cx

If you open this you might find cookies, or you might find your nana's sewing supplies.

DIY dice tray

Learned to use a sewing machine so I could make my own dice tray for D&D because I couldn't find any in the color scheme I wanted. It took a few attempts but I got to something of decent quality that I'm happy with.

Sewing is the worst

But you can’t argue that’s not a clean af seam 😮‍💨 (edited)

A question on cosplay

At some point I want to cosplay as a specific character I have some basic skills for sewing but nowhere intermediate. The design I want to create and make is Stella from winx club. But I have no idea where to start with it. I don't exactly want to buy one outright as I have the time to create… (edited) read more

The forbidden sewing kit

Sewing station for $5, originally $50

We had our 90% off sale today, this thing just sat there somehow so I snatched it up

Anime expo 2026. Literally did all the sewing for the costume days before hahaha

my equivalent to actually sewing LOL

Got that voodoo doll vibe lol

I swear I’m sewing his arms on that’s it 😂 (edited)

The urge to hide

I've had more than my fair share of damaged relationships starting at birth with my undiagnosed autism continuing into adulthood where people tend to tell me that the world does not work the way I see it. And maybe the world doesn't work the way that I see it. But mine does. A long time ago when… read more

Made from scratch

I use to sew things for my son when toddler Overall shorts first time sewing ladies at fabric shop were amazed. First attempt .made few sets Later crazy winter togs So now I need something different to try. I prefer useful items to make. What???

Yay

I'm going to see a movie tonight. I had a small thing with a guy but we both didn't have the time for each other due to work so we ended it. We stayed in contact and for a long time I hoped things would change someday. And from a distance he always supported my film stuff and art. He asked me to… read more

What do you guys do with old jackets and coats? (That's you can't donate because of wear and tear)

If I had the interest, time, and energy to repurpose it, and enjoyed sewing I'd maybe try and restyle them or use the textiles towards something but that's not exactly my niche. I have ideas on what could be done but I just don't care enough to do anything about it. I feel it would be best to give… read more

Websites to start sewing (edited)

Skillset

I am torn learning between crochet and sewing. Both have their own benefits but I can't seem to choose one. What to do? (edited)

Working on a collage patch for a jacket this is my first draft

Sewing skills

Just got back to sewing after months, god I missed this

Sleep Token progress

Just finished hand sewing the hood, just have to figure out how I'm going to sew the outfit. Trying to get this done before I sell at a con this March.

Ranma Wig/Makeup Test

Tfw your not cute tomboy fiancée makes you dress babygirl before she lets you turn back into a guy 😤 I usually don't share my wig and makeup tests, but you know what? I was having a goofy fun time as Ranma so who cares if both eyes are done a little differently and if the tulle needs tucked a… read more

Sewing projects: What's on your cutting table?

What are you working on for your next Renn Fsire or SCA event? I myself am headed to Great Western War (SCA) in the Kingdom Of the Caid (California) in Nov. I need a new Persian great coat. SO I have gorgous rust colored Pendleton wool for the outer fabric. The lining is purple fleece. I plan to do… read more

The true DnD monster

Is it cookies, a sewing kit, or going to bite you? One won't know until you open it lol.

I finished with the base of the headband, need to clean the other side of this moon and tomorrow I'll have to visit a sewing supply store to buy some thinner gold wire to fill this up with beads.

So the silver and gold crystal chains are literally different densities so the headband looks a bit loose, but it'll work for the purpose I intend it to work.

I’ve nearly finished sewing my pleated skirt

Lmk if y’all wanna see the finished result??

"My crocheting desk" 🧶🧵

​🧶In my free time, I love crocheting, sewing, and doing various crafts. It started as a hobby, but eventually, I started making real money from it.❤

Billy Jacket in progress

Working on a Billy cosplay from ZZZ, combining both his original and starlight designs. Hand sewing this at the moment.

Is it nihilistic of me to think being alone is best for me?

I've been on The dating market for the past few years, and felt like I've haven't gotten close to finding the right one. Then recently when I did get close with someone, I just felt indifferent to the whole experience and didn't even try to pursue. Since then I haven't even bothered swiping on any… read more

Late afternoon after waking up late.

I wake up in the afternoon because I work on designing and sewing my own designs, then submitting the finished work. 👌🏻 That's something that takes me a very long time. 😭 (The red spots were from acne, but they're starting to disappear now, leaving only red marks. I'm currently taking good care… read more

Sewing

I just ripped a hole in my work cargo pants and I need it repaired. I tried iron on patches and they fall right back off. I'm gonna need to actually repair this with needle and thread, and that's not something I've ever done for more than darning a sock. It's about time I learn to do it myself?--… read more

Mid section done

Hand sewing a cosplay, kinda wish my sewing machine was working. I've grown used to hand sewing to where it's a fun thing to do at this point. 😅

In your opinion whats the best hobby and why?

Ill start my hobbie involves a vast range of things from putting on shows for public with live combat to sewing my own outfits, or some blacksmithing or leatherwork... its more a way of life than a hobbie at this stage

Con Crunch

Me? Pinning and hand sewing a cosplay at midnight the for con in the morning? It's more likely than you think 😂
