the future is the way of that
I wanted to do a longform content post about slow fashion, mending, refashioning from already existing stuff, and all such activities that help reduce consumption and waste. I love to do these things because I have been poor and/or eco-conscious ever since I was a kid, so my house is full of junk and scraps …
One of the most difficult things about fashion is wanting to look extremely good with minimal effort or minimal cost and maximum comfort. But as the menswear suits guy on Twitter (@dieworkwear) has explained, finding a style that represents you requires thought and experience and experimentation and eventually, at least some money/time invested. People looking …
As promised, I took some quick photos of my last 2 sewn projects, the budget Juliette et Justine butterfly dress and the astrology map otome blouse. I wanted to do casual looks instead of the elaborate over-the-top coords that I would only wear for a special occasion, sorta. No wigs or even styled hair, no …
After exactly 2 years of procrastinating, I finished this navy blue and white astrology map blouse from Otome no Sewing volume 14. Why did it take so long for a relatively simple pattern? Well because the fabric I chose actually was the worst choice for a short sleeve blouse in a warm climate, but I …
Back with another t-shirt refashion, this time a cute Animal Crossing tee from Ugly Plants! If you are interested, check out my sew-along post with video of my first refashioned casual lolita t-shirt!

Here is my actual contribution for the #literally20dollarlolita challenge on Tumblr by @20dollarlolita, not that the cottagecore bread pouch wasn’t adorable enough on its own. But this is an actual project I had planned for like four years and the fabric hoarded in my stash for over five years, if not closer to ten. I …
On tumblr is a #literally20dollarlolita challenge to create something for lolita fashion that is 20 USD or less started by 20dollarlolita. I happened to be watching youtube videos about people repurposing old clothes for the past several months which was why I made the post about the Barbie Shirley Temple skirt. And I do have …
I posted my Barbie lookbook video months ago and said I was going to talk about the Barbie skirt but I never did lol. So I just took a few photos recently, did some photoshopping and here’s that long awaited post for anyone who cares lol. [fashion] Hi Barbie! Barbie lookbook video! The top photo …
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! I actually had a different idea for a Halloween costume this that was lolita/kawaii fashion related, but couldn’t find the right fabric anywhere, not even on aliexpress. I bought a similar concept of fabric at Joann’s because it was on sale during my staycation, but I’m still not feeling …
Here is a styling and try-on post of the cotton donut-print dress I made from Otome no Sewing (original sew-along post here), in case you wanted to see it on a humany body instead of a mannequin! As mentioned, this cut of this dress is high-waisted and not exactly flattering, but so comfortable, or it …
