“I am wearing the latest design from my tie series entitled The Snake Tie from my brand I Feel Like Bambi, paired with some of my favorite thrift finds. I sew the ties from up-cycled suit fabrics, so they’re completely sustainable which is very important to me. I would say my style is inspired by stories and characters. I like to dress based on how I’m feeling and what I’m thinking about. I also made The Friendship Tie, The Lover Tie, and The Loner Tie. So naturally I wanted to make a piece about someone who was a snake to me.“
I think we spend too much time thinking about Adrien buying a bunch of Ladybug merch and not enough time thinking about him making his own. Taking all those boring white Gabriel pieces of clothing and dyeing them red. Painstakingly adding spots to them. Marinette teaching him how to sew so he can rip apart his old clothes and use the fabric to make something new. Embroidering "Lady's Man" onto clothing he already wears. Learning how to crochet so he can make LB plushies.
Hi ❤️ I found this beautiful red pair of pants at the thrift store a while ago, and I just got around to modifying them (also I fucked around with my photo editor for no reason)
I really love the embroidery on it and the material is extremely soft and breathable. But when I got them they were a bit too big for me and the drawstring was a pain in the ass to use. So I removed the drawstring and mended the hole, then I folded the waist band over itself in two places at my sides and stitched it in place. It's an elastic waist band so I was completely okay with removing the drawstring entirely (I forgot to take a picture of the waist band. Oh well)
I was thinking of adding more embroidery to the waist band but I'm afraid of compromising the stretchy-ness in any way so Idk yet. I think I'll leave it alone for now
I also changed the shape of the legs, they were flared out a little bit. I like the shape so instead of using elastic, I made drawstrings for the bottom of the legs so that I could achieve that poofy pants shape I like, but I also have the option to untie or remove the strings and bring them back to their original shape if I want to
I went from having this in my wardrobe and rarely wearing it to wearing it all the time!!! They're so comfortable and beautiful and they were fun to modify 🌿☀️

There are 5 total images. The first one is of me in my mirror wearing a black crop top and red pair of pants made of flowy fabric, they're embroidered with an intricate diagonal grid pattern and some vines around it in the same color as the fabric, across the middle of both legs and going down. but the embroidery doesn't show well in this particular image. My head doesn't show in the image so it's just my outfit. I edited the photo and put some sun stickers on it as well as two captions in white text placed near my waist that say: "took the drawstring out and mended the hole" and "tailored the waist band to fit" and a third caption at the bottom of the photo that says "cut open the hem at the bottom of each leg and inserted new drawstrings, changing the shape."
The next two images are pictures of the pants laid out on my bed, one image is zoomed in on the embroidery.
The next image is zoomed in on the bottom of the right leg where I put new drawstrings made of darker red yarn. There's red embroidered vines going down the seams and slightly lighter red embroidery thread on the edges of the hole I cut in the hem. There are three captions in white text in the photo that say: 1. "I embroidered the edges of the fabric I cut so they don't fray." 2. "Once i finished that i stitched it closed 1/4th of the way on the inside to prevent this part of the hem from sticking out." 3. "And I made two new drawstrings from yarn before I realized I could've used the one from the waist band instead"
The last image is of the same are of the pants as the last image but without the text and my hand. And the hole where the drawstrings are coming out of is less visible.
Third piece of modded clothing I’ve done, it doubles as pride merch! I made up the word by mixing the amato- prefix from amatonormativity and the -lysis suffix from biology. It’s all about the internal transformations undergone by aros as we try to figure ourselves out in a world that doesn’t care to acknowledge us
patched up this tooth paste stained sweatshirt my gf no longer wore :3 now the patches cover that stain and looks so cool. I used embroidery floss in different colors to add some more pops of color.
the patches came from patch trades with friends and 'god is trans' is from threeracoonsstudio the patch seller.
Progress pictures for one of my biggest clothing projects ever, my famous wizard robe. Upcycled from a shitty shein robe I got from the thrift store. This is the best thing I’ve made, ever, and put way too much time in.
