#i sew my own clothes

I made a tribute IWTV crew teeshirt

In the official Behind the Scenes documentary, Sam wears a slate blue teeshirt with a coffin drawing on the front, which I really liked, so I did a bit of investigating. It turned out that this was the "crew shirt" for the show - a promo item made and distributed to cast and crew only. Usually these are pretty tacky affairs with just the show logo on a tee or trucker cap, but I really liked the subtlety of this one - it looks like it does have the show name on the sleeve and a bit of text on the back that can't be read (my guess is maybe "Memory is a Monster"?), but mostly, I was into the coffin drawing. I did some cursory searches on eBay but with NDAs these days, I didn't really expect to find anyone selling theirs. So if I wanted one, I'd have to make one myself!

Since I sew, it was honestly easier to just make myself the base tee rather than buy one. I started with the fabric, using this "Powder blue" bamboo jersey from Textile Express. It's not a perfect match, but it's close enough for me and it's light enough that the black coffin stands out.

For the pattern, I used the Fehr Trade Versatili-Tops pattern, because I liked that it would give it a little something extra than just a standard teeshirt (there's no side seams!).

The next step was to design and cut the coffin detail. The only thing I really had to go on was the scant footage from the Behind the Scenes videos since the graphic was never used in any official promotion material. So I had to recreate the coffin from scratch, using Adobe Illustrator and some rough ink brushes to make it look hand drawn.

Jacob shared a quick little doodle of Louis ahead of the AMA session on Reddit back in November, and someone on Twitter took his Louis doodle and did Lestat and Claudia in the same style, which I absolutely love (and I wish I took note of who it was that did it so I could attribute - message me if you know!). So I turned this into a vector, as well as recreating the "Of Course!" heart that's one of the most used reactions on my favourite vampire Discord server, and cut these out on my Silhouette Cameo machine in black matte heat set vinyl. I placed the coffin on the front chest, in roughly the same placement as the inspiration tee, with the doodle heads on the right sleeve and "Of course!" on the left sleeve.

I absolutely love how it turned out, and is a totally one-of-a-kind tribute to the show. I have no aptitude for the skill involved in creating fan art or fanfic, and I'm not really into cosplay, so this is a way for me to express my love of the show in my way.

And still look like a fairly normal person (joke's on you - I've never been normal!).

PS: if anyone else has access to a Silhouette or Cricut type cutting machine and wants the svg files, let me know and I'll put them up somewhere to download

I know I've talked about how Mihawk sews and embroiders, and probably was already making/embellishing his clothes since his first appearance, (roger's execution pink tulip patches my belove-eds) but I'd like to emphasize that this man is 100% his own combination tailor/milliner/cobbler. He sews his clothes and makes his hats and there's whole 50s housewife-esque sewing room in his castle. Those v-notch-waistband pants are a perfected pattern and you know it. Whenever he meets up with Shanks he spends 30% of their time together fighting and the other 70% darning Shanks' shirts. He handmade Perona's glow-up fit because nothing hit right for her at the local op hot topic. Definitely monograms his towels. Gets bored in the Cross Guild one day and spends the better part of a week hemming Crocodile's pants and letting out his waistcoats. Keeps a needle and thread pinned inside his coat. Bills the WG for "upkeep expenses" when he decides to go ham on the latest silk exports.

#one piece #op #opla #opla mihawk #dracule mihawk #hawkeyes mihawk #one piece mihawk #mishanks #I pegged that man as a crafter the moment I saw opla him #him sewing is everything to me understand my vision #HE SEWS HIS OWN CLOTHES THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION

uh oh having ideas outside of my realistic ability range (wanting to make a maxi skirt out of an old tapestry I got from a friend)

#I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE SLAAAYYY #but I only know how to hand sew and don’t know how to use a clothing pattern and don’t have a sewing machine #but I HAVE mended and hemmed my own clothes before ????? much to consider #could be cool……. or could be a flop and I’d have ruined a nice swath of fabric

Working on a new doll outfit so that Valériane can finally have something nice to wear ♡

#doll #obitsu #parabox #parabox gretel #doll sewing #second photo is a huge hint at the style I’m going for #I have been blessed with inspiration #and Valériane can finally have her own clothes #also I set as a challenge for myself to only use things I already own #my dolls

the cosplay urge to make an entirely new cosplay because you hyper fixated on a character

Jojo had NO RIGHT making this man right here so cosplayable (that’s not a real word lmao)

should i tho? Summer con is in a couple months, almost a year, definitely enough time to get the stuff for it…

#Grrrrrrrrrrr the urges #The masculine urge to cosplay an elf dude from a video game #Lu four #linked universe #linked universe cosplay #Cosplayer #I could practice making my own clothes too #And refining my sewing skills #(Thank you fursuiting for making me learn to sew) #Onyx rants⭐️

#SLASH JAY IM LOOKING AFTER MYSELF but its like 35°C (95°F) and rising bro i was made for the cold helpme #seriously need to get top surgery purely so i can shed the binder fighting for my lifee. fauck. #i should start making my own clothes tbh im good at designing them i should learn how to use a sewing machine

[littlemoriflower]

One thing that I love to do is buy seemingly "moriable" clothes, and then add a bunch of lace to them. Just really shower them in lace, you know? It's truly the simple things in life that keep you going.

#‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. my diary ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. #mori kei #the simple things make a huge difference #i should make my own clothes someday but my sewing skills are still subpart

Why the FUCK does my brain suddenly want me to become a bloody seamstress I fucking can't this stupid lump of meat just won't stop until I collect ALL the fibre hobbies like they're fucking pokémon

#why #why am I seriously considering creating my own sewing kit #why do I want to start making my own clothes #I don't even have a sewing machine I'd have to do everything by hand so good thing I watched a video on thimbles and now I want one #okay being able to mend and alter my clothes would be cool #but seriously? #seriously do I really need another fucking hobby

[doll-princesse]

Do you ever see a video and immediately go look up the book for purchase? I am wanting to try working on a smaller scale, by machine and by hand, and I have a Liccachan and some other dolls of a similar size range who need some custom clothing. I’m so looking forward to this book delivery.

These were my favorite looks. I love an Alice in Wonderland dress, and it can be made into a maid dress in black! The retro dress seems to have lined sleeves, which means no need for a tiny hem. And the little red riding hood dress has a drop waist perfect for 1920’s looks :)

#licca chan #liccachan #my liccachan needs her own clothes #rn she’s borrowing creatable world clothes #but a fashion icon deserves her own fashions #liccachan *this is my newest coat* kamaya #needs a sumptuous wardrobe #I don’t make the rules #and the CWs will enjoy pretty dresses too :) #sewing book #ningyou posting #Youtube

once i’ve made astra’s ref for this years artfight i kinda wanna make like. better refs for both tana and lux… i wanna have ones with like actual info on them… and more lil outfits…

#lux is incredibly easy to come up with new fits for because he’s a fashion freak #you can put him in anything that looks good because he WOULD go to great lengths to find fun outfits to wear #he’s got such a big wardrobe #but tana on the other hand is like the living embodiment of ''i don’t deserve a bedframe'' #he can APPRECIATE when a piece of clothing looks good but it would never occur to him to get another outfit unless he like. NEEDED it #astra is the most fashionable of all of them she sees her own dramatic as fuck wizard fits #lux also does sewing but generally he just uses it to spice up clothes he’s bought #or found #go on my artfight if u wanna see astras actual ref btw cuz rn i think there’s only joke art of her in her actual tag #her design was made by anethia <33 owe them my life for that one #arambles

hiiiiiii, can you imagine Olli and Allu having had brainstorming sessions together, where Olli showed Allu some of the outfit designs and Allu showed Olli some tracks he'd been working on? They would compliment each other all the time because they're secretly crushing on watch other and they'd blush hard with every compliment and and and 😭😭😭😭💘💗💘💖💘💖💘💖

(because I'm imagining it right now and it's so fucking sweet)

have a lovely weekend, love youuuu 💗💖💕💖

listennnnn 😭😭😭😭 I bet they do that, I bet they get so excited for each other about their projects and always want to hear the other's opinion on what they're working on 🥺💞

I'm also imagining them living together as boyfriends (or husbands even 😭) and just working on their own projects and minding their own business but still doing it together and suggesting stuff for each other and djlfjsljfdjfldkf how cute would that be 🥺

have a great weekend, lovely Luna!! 💕

#i wish they had sewing machines in the sims 4 so i could give my olli sim one 😭 #i finally found a house in the gallery that i could renovate to look like the house i'm imagining for them in that one AU idea of mine #and it's gonna look so cute with both of them having their own ''office'' rooms for their projects 🥰 #anyhow. can someone pls write a domestic olli/allu AU #with aleksi being a music producer as per usual and olli an indie fashion designer or something #he makes all the clothes himself and has a little shop downton #aleksi (and rilla) help him at the shop sometimes #okay i'll stop before this gets out of hand and i'll start rambling about another fic idea i'll never actually write 😭 #answered asks #catboyolli #ollixallu
