We head up to ABQ tomorrow for Gathering of Nations and I couldn't be happier that this time, we aren't going up under the shadow of potentially very bad news (which we actually got the moment we hit town for this last year so that was not at all fun). There's a lot to work through as I move through the big and small anniversaries of what happened, but I'm SO glad to be here and healthy so I can attend something that is life changing. Again.
Meanwhile, let's sew.
#S1402 It's all so graceful and modestly cozy yet attractive… until your little sister Pippi Longstocking and her wired braids shows up. $15.50
#S7305 All lesbian fashion has its roots in the 70s, and the straight chick in the middle wishes she had comfortable shoes, too. $9.50
#M9229 The 90s were big on a strappy or a lace up or a ribboned…anything, and it was also part of a secret war with bra makers. $9.50
#M8224 If you haven't made anything with pintucks before, please start with a really stable fabric our you'll end up on the evening news when you go insane from trying to do that with a slippery silk. $14.50
#M4225 Usually, whatever is photographed in white is NOT what the pattern is for but McCalls got the fuckits and did it their way. It's not for the tops or the scarf. Bottoms only, lol. $10.50
#M3033 Lucky for you I already have my own copy of this one. $5.50
#M8063 Ima help you out here, attach your drawstring to a little elastic so you aren't being slowly cut in half like a magic show. $4.50
#S9775 Ah, the 90s, where we put fat clothes on skinny models and figured you could just, I dunno, guess how they might look on you. YOUR BODY IS JUST AS GOOD. $4.50
#S7570 You'll have to find this one in my shop to see the line drawing inside where the artist shrunk the model's head in a very Chas Addams sort of way. $4.50
#S0654 #S8299 So, you're doing a pattern fashion shoot and the test stitcher went off (or back on) her meds and the PANTS DO NOT FIT THE MODEL AT ALL. But yeah, run with it, I guess. $4.50
