My Dreams Crust Jacket >:]

oh gideon, i was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams

another homage to my favourite book scene ever

whoever said modern clothing is better was LYING. i put on my victorian menswear and i immediately feel amazing. nothing can touch me! i have four layers on and you have no idea what my body looks like! i'm the hottest motherfucker ever! sure t-shirts are cool but have you ever tried a vest that gives you a slutty little waist?

So I'm gonna start posting updates for my current sewing project mostly for myself to remind myself that I'm actually making progress. Fell free to follow along or take inspo. Almost most of it's gonna technically be "thriftflips" because that's where almost all of my clothes and fabric is from ( also because my favorite sewing technique is stealing).

Current project is this skirt I bought second hand online, I didn't look to close on the fabric and can't really think of a way I would wear it.

I thought it would be a really good base for other things and good for the cold (so far I think I'm right). The othet fabrics are a mix of old (mostly 5+ years) fast fashion and thrifted clothes, that are either broken or I can't really see myself wearing for multiple reasons.

Next steps are gonna be to get my at least 100+ safety pins back by sewing everything together by hand. I'm also gonna figure out something more for the second panel probably lace in some way.

Clothes to be used/ altered that's not started on yet: 16

I was thinking recently about how "alt" subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything
