Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

A coord idea that I really want to try

So I have these two pieces:

Noblesse Oblige by Kaneko and Antique Frames And Royal Jewelry by Baroque x Sakizo

And I've had them sitting in my closet for a bit because I just don't have enough in my wardrobe to style them with. I think my main issue is headgear. I have a gold filigree masquerade style mask that I could use for the Baroque JSK, but it seems too small for such a nice dress. And I don't have any black KCs or berets.

But!

I have an idea. I think that a Tudor era French hood could look really cool!

Something like these. I would probably want to make two separate hoods because of the difference in colours and styles between the two dresses (the Kaneko one being more like the one on the left, the Baroque one being more like the one on the right) but I think that a French hood would be the solution to my problem. I would obviously edit a couple things, like making the hood not cover my ears, and maybe add some less historical embellishments to make it fit more with lolita than having it be a completely historically accurate piece.

I found a website that shows how to make them and they seem like a relatively simple project, though I have very little experience making any sort of headwear outside of putting a bow on a headband. I would like to try making at least one for my Baroque dress when I have more time later this year.

Has anyone else tried using a French hood in lolita? I've seen a couple for sale from Taobao scaled up a bit and decorated for a more lolita style, but I've never seen anyone wear it.

#fun fact both of these dresses are usually over $250 secondhand but I got the Kaneko one for like 50 and the Baroque one for 140 #buy secondhand lolita and attend your comm's swap meets!!! #lolita fashion #egl #classic lolita #gothic lolita #historic costuming #tudor era #sakizo #baroque lolita #opera omnia #sewing #sewing ideas

So, I wanna make new underwear today. I have this turquoise tube-top that my roommate abandoned (it really doesn’t look useful), and, I wanna make super comfy underwear that manages to cover me completely, and not be very tight. Something like these shorts, but more comfortable.

I used the shorts as a reference, and took some time to draw a pattern.

Here it is cut out!

It looks super weird by itself, but the way these are constructed is that one piece makes the left side, and the other piece makes the right side. They’re then stitched in the middle, and the little bottom pieces connected. Let’s cut that out of the fabric!

As soon as I placed it on the fabric, I discovered it was a little too small, but I decided to disregard that, and just folded my pattern in the middle. The fabric is stretchy, and I always end up making panties too big (I fear that they’ll be too small). I managed to cut one piece, and it does look small, but, when I cut the other piece and put them together, it looked just fine! Here’s them stitched up together:

And the last piece was just adding the elastics and sewing it into the hem. I’ll admit, the elastic is slightly too weak and it would have been better to make it tighter, but I’m otherwise very pleased with how they turned out. I don’t have to hem them or put any elastics into the leg holes because they’re just naturally covering me without any extra help.

I wish I could be posting to an internet where only women could see my images, and then I’d feel comfortable showing a nice picture with them on me, but since this is a bit more dangerous, you can have a grainy picture of my zuchinni that have gone wild, with the blurred me in the background :)

Quilting has been used so extensively on quilts, throws, and comfortables that many think of it only in connection with them and do not realize how much real beauty it can contribute to garments. Quilting costs little more than your time....

Mary Brooks Picken added that you did have to take time to make it “perfect work,” so attention was needed as well. She gave examples of machine quilting all over on a robe, vest, or “comfortable” which is a little confusing, but comfortables here meant both padded or quilted comforters for beds AND padded and quilted mufflers (thank you, Oxford English Dictionary).  While this was published in Sewing Simplified from 1953, some of the material dated back to the 1930s from earlier books Picken wrote, and the meaning of words has since changed.

She also pointed out that bands along the edge of a garment might be quilted, and I have seen quilted collars and cuffs that are handsome as well. Picken also suggested quilting a coat lining, but I swore I would never take on a large quilting project after I machine quilted a simple-pieced comforter. It was about the most tedious and awkward machine sewing I had ever done.

So, take my advice and think of machine quilting as trim or embellishment. If you are keen on a quilted coat lining, you can buy such fabrics pre-made.

Stupid but possibly maybe probably not genius idea I just had: stuffed animal version of a balloon animal.

I've seen a crotched/knitted version of it around where they make, like, the sausage link looking string of little tubes stuffed with batting connected with narrow sections, make the tubes correspond with how long you need each "body part" to be, and then twist it together like a real balloon animal

BUT

Sewed instead.

Again, this is probably a terrible idea and I'd have no idea how to feasibly pull it off in reality (would I be able to make the thin connecting bits fabric sewed into a tight tube connected to the main bigger tube structure or would it have to be a different material like string or yarn attached to the end of the main tube? How to structure the pattern to begin with and would I be able to pull off maybe making it one long ass piece sewed into a tube of varying thicknesses? What fuckin fabric do I even use for this??? etc etc, you get the picture)

If anyone has any input it would be appreciated otherwise it's the very time consuming and expensive option of trial and error, I'm gonna do some searching myself and see if someone else has come up with a version of this that doesn't suck

Need ideas what to do with this dolly fabric!! I love it a lot but I only have about a yard because someone got it for me secondhand. The patterns are pretty big so it needs to involve large pieces for them to show properly.

I'm working on basting a dress together, it has a circle skirt and pockets. We'll see how it turns out.
