Make it Sew


  • Jade is nearly finished with the Kate Bishop costume. The dress and belt are 90% completed. She still needs to finish her mask.
  • Jade helped a friend learn how to use her sewing machine and how to sew the beginnings of a Asian Lolita outfit.
  • Speaking of outfits, have you seen the Muslim Lolita outfits? They’re awesome http://www.boredpanda.com/muslim-lolita-hijab-japanese-fashion-anime/
  • Sandy started off with some routine maintenance on her sewing machine, which turned into a BIG OLE PROBLEM, and now it needs to be repaired.
  • Sandy just bought Gertie Sews Vintage Casual, too, boo-hoo.
