At the end of my high school days I really got into sewing. I aspired to be a cosplayer with the most magnificent sailor moon costume one had ever seen! Then I learned the truth of sewing, it's not as easy as it looks. I used my moms old sewing machine (circa 1964) and all of her leftover supplies to start practicing. Along came my first opportunity for costume, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 and I dressed as a Rita Skeeter with a lime green pencil skirt and a pink and black cloak. It was pretty good.
Flash to the future where I live in a tiny apartment and aspire towards sustainability. In my thought process I thought that the easiest way to be sustainable, fair trade, and sweatshop free in my wardrobe was to handpick my fabrics and supplies and do the labor myself! I needed a good hobby that wasn't thinking about pageants and school. So, after an adventure to Fremont and a lot of prep and many more mistakes learning my new machine. I have made my circle skirt! The distance of the photo does me a lot of good bc my stitching was off and I made up my own way to put on the waistband. I'm extremely proud of making something useful. Thank you dad for hearing all my wishes and buying the gift that will keep on giving <3
