Marked safe ✅ from the ai takeover for now 😮‍💨

Let’s talk about draping!! This is the MOST popular question I see amongst old and young sewing people alike: how do you take a draped dress off the mannequin, sew it together and wear it? Well the answer is HANDSEWING!! for the most part you’ll need to hand sew all around the pieces you draped to create the ‘stitch line’ area that you’ll be actually sewing down on the mannequin. This is especially important for pleats, gathers, etc that need to be secured before being sewn to another piece. I REALLY like draping and sewing from a drape, bc it allows me to just jump right and and go from there, but it takes some patience and practice to understand the mechanics! Having a dress form that is the perfect measurements for you or whomever you’re sewing for comes in super handy when you’re doing draping as it’ll be well fitted to the person that way. With draping it’s all about practice and creativity. There is no wrong way to create and play with fabric! Was this helpful? #tutorial #fantasyfashion #sewing #sewingtiktok #sewingtutorial

Making armor for the FINAL time 🤨 this was such a freaking nightmare….i struggled maybe way more with the 3D print version over the foam version, but for entirely different reasons. I have a new respect for people who make armor now 🫡🫡🫡 #cosplay #renfaire

Understitch! Popular for garments that are woven, garments with linings and even some couture, this clean edge technique will keep your lining fabric hidden and your fashion fabric crisp and clean! This was THE first thing my mom taught me about making dresses and clothes, and you’d think for being the first skill I got I’d be better at it 🤪 but it’s always going to be a work in progress around here, and I hope some of the information I shared helps you guys make gorgeous necklines and lining lines too! #sewingforkids #sewingtutorial

The respect I have for jewelry makers? Absolutely through the roof right now. Maybe my fingers are just too nubby for it, or maybe I need many MANY more years of practice, but to make these earrings was no small feat, and they don’t even look THAT good 😭 I will wear them tho, bc I am not gonna let my hard work just hang on an earring stand forever, but hats off to the Lola Tapicoa Pearls and ALL Athe incredible jewelry artists out there for making such gorgeous delicate work 😍 #jewelry #jewelrymaking #animalcrossing #lilyofthevalley

I made my mom a jacket!! Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who taught me to sew, she’s been asking for a jacket for a while and I had to keep it a secret until now! This jacket was made with silks and leathers, everything laser cut and meticulously handsewn on. I left space on the front for her to add her collection of bee pins (she collects bee pins!) I know she’ll be wearing this jacket for years to come 🫶🏻 do you think she loved it 🥹 #mothersday

Let’s talk hip fins! I get a few asks of how I draft and add the fins bc honestly, every single one is a different shape. You can draft them on a mannequin or on yourself, but they are fun and simple way to add dynamic shape to any outfit! Do you like hip fins? #sewingforkids #sewingtutorial #cottagecore #knightcore
