The pants I’ve posted already, here’s a guide I made to how to get started on your own.
The vest is new! I got the base off of Mercari and painted the Acid Bath, Minor Threat, and Fugazi patches. I haven’t worn it yet, I made it for summer when my pants get too heavy to wear.
The bag is something I made entirely out of scratch out of canvas. I painted the Dystopia logo and covered it in sashiko. It was supposed to be a bum flap, but it’s too cunty to sit on and I wanted a smaller bag anyways. The hardware wasn’t too hard to figure out, I bought the strap from Joaan’s and figured it out. The only expense was having to buy a grommet hole puncher :(
Finally found building plans for these. Obviously the plans were from something like Popular Mechanics, but the only page I could find, I had to translate from Russian. But now it's copied into a word document.
It actually looks really simple and inexpensive to make. Would be a nice jaunt in one to the local lake and drive right in to go fishing. Or if everything hits the fan, you wouldn't have to use any gas for a fishing trip or quick run to a neighbor.
It done yaaay. Probably should have made the lining slightly smaller. It feels like there's just a LOT of fabric inside the bag. But I'm still learning so that's ok.
I spent some of my weekend making our cats a new cat “tree”. I wasn’t finding anything I liked out in the wild, so I made my own mushroom tree.
It’s mostly wood and a heavy-duty carpet tube wrapped in sisal, foam batting, and then upholstered. The tops I made custom with my rug tufting machine.
I’m hoping within the next few days it’ll be thoroughly investigated and claimed by the house beasties.
I was disappointed in there being no such thing as clothing patches that look like moss, so I made them myself, imma buy a moth patch at some point and put it on as well
