the future is the way of that
I received my pre-order of the Bonnets and Sweet Tea – Lolitas of the South zine published in 2025 and I am excited to share my thoughts on this cute little zine and the apron sewing pattern and the recipe that came with this zine. I have collected a few zines (besides the Gothic and …
I present today a project I’ve been working on the past month, a beautiful art noveau embroidered husswif sewing kit, with the original embroidery patterned by Sewstine (instagram here). I also used their sewing tutorial to make my husswif. Please check out Sewstine’s blog tutorial here if you want to make your own! I have …
This is the long-awaited follow-up from previous posts about slow-fashion, mending, upcycling and thrift-flipping (link here!). I present to you, T-shirt upcycling featuring my large hoard of t-shirts I can’t really donate or sell due to bad condition or nostalgia. I basically have 35 t-shirts reserved that I almost never wear, either too small, stained, …
In a previous post, I listed two sets of Japanese fashion items on Etsy/Ko-fi for anyone interested, just so my shop can truly be called an atelier. The beige/white lolita skirt and bonnet set was actually sewn quite a few years ago and meant for a variety of sizes, but I never pulled off that …

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 …

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 …
Welcome to another sew-with-me post! Once again, this is not a tutorial, just showing you my steps and thought process as I work on a dress from the Otome no Sewing mook. I finished the majority of the dress over a 2 day weekend, but made a mistake and took another day and half to …
I bought this Metamorphose Temps de Fille Jewel Leopard low-waist jumperskirt after it came out in 2015, just as I was about to reenter lolita fashion after a hiatus. The side zipper broke as I was putting it on at a convention for the first time so I ended up never wearing this dress. I …
