HI ITS THE DOGS SEE IN SHADES OF GREY ANON, YOU WROTE WEATHERED FOG TOO? IS EVERY FIC I LIKE SECRETLY YOU

Teehee :3 (honestly I'm so glad you read that one it's one of my own personal faves 😸 I remember thinking no one would like it bc it's not exactly upbeat or particularly erotic or anything, and statistically I feel like no one likes Mike except me and like a dozen people I can directly dm)

[artbymintcookies]

I was reading through your frankfoggy fic on the blog and loving it and then I stumbled into the opening of 'dogs see in shades of grey, apparently', literally my favourite fic in the world! I had no idea that was you! You're amazing!

Hehe thanks! I haven't really made anything in a while due to life constraints but I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff !!

[ID: an uncoloured sketch on a light grey background. Matt Murdock, unmasked but wearing his Daredevil suit, is on his back on the floor, smiling. Foggy Nelson is on top of him, face obscured by their arms as they hug, disheveled in his business casual shirt and slacks. Foggy is curled up on top of Matt as if in prayer, while Matt is relaxed and his legs are asplay, as if he's playing a wrestling game. End ID]

i'd love to see a tutorial/tips on how to make the kim jacket, if you want to!

Alright! It's a little lengthy so bear with me!

So the first step is to get the patterns. The basic shape of it is going to be like this:

You can note as you make the pattern how cropped you want it to be. The basic shape should be like this and you should end up with 3 main body pieces:

Note how I marked my pocket placements in the front (I have 2 in the front and 2 in the lining) but that's optional. You can omit pockets, or add a bunch but I'm not super confident in my ability to do pockets so I recommend looking up the type of pocket you want. I tried to do welt pockets, but I think zip pockets could also be cool.

Also optional is this part of the lining which I just got lazy and zigzag stitched on:

What I did for the pattern is I just traced the neckline and freehand the shapes.

Once you have all the pattern pieces, just remember to either go over them again and add a seam allowance or cut your pieces with a seam allowance.

The actual pieces you will cut are:

4 front pieces (2 lining, 2 main fabric)

4 sleeve pieces (2 lining, 2 main fabric)

2 back pieces, cut in fold (1 lining, 1 main fabric)

Lining pieces optional, but you only need the main fabric for those

4 zipper rectangle bits (all main fabric)

2 cuff pieces, 1 neck piece (cut on fold to mirror lengthwise and widthwise), 1 waistband piece, also cut on fold lengthwise

The basic steps are:

1. Cut out the pieces (I like to zigzag stitch the raw edges so I don't have to worry about them)

2. Sew any patches or pockets onto each piece that needs it

Tip:

The patches are reflective tape that I zigzag stitched with the smallest stitch setting to make a border. I also cut the corners so the weren't just right angles. The front patch I also used the same technique but followed a stencilled drawing of the patch.

3. Sew the lining pieces together, and the main pieces together

4. Sew the wrist cuffs into loops, fold them over. Sew right sides of the main and lining pieces together at the wrist, with right sides of the cuff sandwiched between. (Be careful and figure out a way to pin them so you're able to flip everything inside out). Stretch as you go as the cuffs will be stretchy and smaller than the main and lining fabric.

5. Sew the zipper rectangle pieces (I don't have a better name for them, sorry) to the waistband pieces on their short ends.

6. Sew two inches of the neck and waistband to the main and lining pieces individually.

Just to about here on all sides.

7. Turn the piece inside out, and sew the zipper sandwiched between the main and lining pieces. Leave about 4 inches unsewn on one side so you can turn the piece right-side out again.

8. Sew the neck piece and the waistband sandwiched between right sides of the main and lining pieces, like with the wrist cuffs. You'll have to maneuver the zipper out of a way

9. Turn everything right-side out and handstitch the open part of the zipper closed

Tips:

Iron everything as you go. Seriously like every seam

For extra hold, do some topstitches

You can also add as many layers as you want for extra insulation. I actually ended up doing 2 lining layers and sewed them together during the cut/zigzag stage.

When sewing a stretchy know fabric to a nonstretch, mark each quarter of the lengths and match them while sewing.

Unfortunately I'm actually not that great at sewing, and I referred to sewing tutorials a lot while working my way through this, so hopefully this helps a bit!

[artbymintcookies]

your kim jacket looks so good! it looks warm, too 😊 can i ask if you used an existing pattern?

Hey! It is really is! I'm really proud of it even if it isn't perfect! I actually made the pattern by modifying one I got for $1 at the thrift store, so unfortunately, it's not digitized. If anyone's interested, though, I can make a tutorial on how to draft a pattern for it and share some techniques I used to sew it all together?

[artbymintcookies]

First one wasn't that great so I made a second, using techniques I acquired in the first hehe. You know, it's crazy bc all the materials cost me about $70 which is a lot, I guess but also somehow saved me over $400 if you think about it

Finally finished an art.

[ID: digital art of Kim, Harry, and Jean from Disco Elysium, pictured from chest level against a dark purple background. From left to right, there's Kim, facing away from the camera and kissing Harry, his face obscured by Harry's nose and the angle. He's wearing his bomber jacket, and his head is haloed by a white circle. Harry in the middle, has a look of tired desperation. He's wearing his green blazer and a plain, orange necktie. Around his neck is a noose of blonde hair. Behind him is Jean, leaning his and Harry's backs together. He's pensive and tired-looking. He is set against his hark rectangular halo. End ID]

Perhaps it's cringe but I'm going to an event and I did a little sewing project

#me :)

[artbymintcookies]

I'm literally so sorry I haven't been drawing but here's another one. Jean is pathetically in love maybe

I finally wrote something new.....

[artbymintcookies]

I haven't been drawing lately so here are some characters I've been floating in my brain I guess. They're all gay and the middle two are married. Pictured with their partners. Yes I gave up halfway. No i will not colour this. Yes they're middle aged. They're poly in a way, but in another way it's just a practical marriage. I have a story brewing about them
