In a physics class, they had no work to do. So I instead listened to the entire class try to help this kid get a job by helping him create his resume. Were they good at it? Not really. But it was really sweet and genuine.

Being a sub has actually given me more hope and joy than I’d thought.

Substitute Teacher Diaries:

Last week, I witnessed a student pull out a whole embroidery project (hoop and all) and unapologetically work on it while watching the video for class.

I was in awe. The absolute power of that. The fearlessness. Truly iconic.

Fit test! #sewing #historical #georgian

Used RedThreaded 1780s Stays pattern and a size XL

THE MOCK UP IS HERE! And it’s almost perfect? I just need to adjust strap height? I am shock. I am thrilled. I am so pleased.

Soon I will bind the whole thing and feel like a fancy lady!

I’ve been laughing so hard at how much Jujubee is struggling but in a cute way HAHA

Another beauty shot because I am proud of these lines!

After my battle with the Eeps (I did not fall asleep!), I pushed through and sewed the boning channels! Also included is a tumblr-esk shot of my workspace right now. These still need to be pressed, but I like the slightly darker thread color!

how it’s been lately with how cold it is:

I haven’t used twitter in over 6 years. I used to use it for random quips and sharing basically anything and everything. Now I say, fuck it. Post anything. Everything. Photos, thoughts, interesting articles.

One thing I love about social media is documenting my sewing journeys!

Here are a pair of 1780s stays that I am working on. They have been baste together to prep for sewing the boning channels. The lovely blue is a duck canvas I got from Fabric Wholesale Direct.

Let’s hope this mock up works!

I don’t think you guys understand how badly I need classic Barbie movies on a streaming service. It would heal at least half of my mental illness.

Bennie and I are here and ready to try this thing!
