Working on a new Mimic Scarf colour option!

Making some last tweaks to the visor pattern for the Scout Hat. Fixing that sad, slouchy band. Version 2.0 looks much improved.

If I hadn’t only just gotten over being sick 😭 I’m going to keep this in mind for next year…

We’re at mock-up ver. 4, but I think I’m getting close!

Still working out some of the fit issues, but at this point I’m now expert-level at sewing those bean inserts.

Picked up some new accessories for some upcoming shoots I’m planning.

Every time I make one of these belts, I fall in love with this print all over again. 🖤

The last look from our Fantasy Shoot—my prompt was “The Classic Adventurer” ⚔️

From mountains high and valleys low, oceans wide and caverns deep, adventure calls to you! Do you dare answer?

Quilted vest sample is turning out excellently! Lookit that top-stitching! Still needs some tweaks though.

Not sure what fabric the final will be? This one is made from some leftover cottons from my cosplay days.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Mar 19

This vest sample is my current hyper fixation. Excited to do the top-stitching on the quilted layers.

Thanks! That was exactly the vibe I was going for 😉

Cool hat project is complete!!

…just in time for it to be too warm to wear it. 😭

I’m so happy with the details on this piece.

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Mar 4

This is mock-up 3 of my newest shirt design! Those bean details are looking much closer to how I envisioned, & I’ve improved at sewing them too.

Still needs work in the shoulder area—unfortunately Minerva here is not equipped with arms, so I need to find a real human to use for fit testing.

I would like to move in immediately. 😲

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Feb 22

My buckle order has arrived! I’m thinking that middle guy is going to be the right choice for the cool hat project.

TBT!
MW-004 LITTLE WITCH DRESS - A first collection design (retired) & the start of my thumbhole sleeve obsession! I liked the secret pockets at the base of the contrast panels. All dresses should be equipped with pockets.

The Pathfinder Hood - The finished garment looks EXACTLY how I was envisioning it when I started the first design sketch. A rare case where I designed the garment specifically to showcase these rad buckles I acquired!

Mum always said the specific pasta shape name in an Italian accent, so I'm pretty sure my childhood experience was atypical

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Feb 7

Alas, no plans for a wizard hat just yet!

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Feb 6

As a designer, nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that my clothes speak to people ❤️

Modern Wizard Apparel @modernwizard.bsky.social · Feb 6

Cool sci-fi hat is still in product development stage--most likely will be adding this onto the store in the fall!

That version of those pants sadly never made it into production, so the "nefarious deeds" you would have to do to own them would probably be breaking into my house to steal the sample. 😈 I did eventually redesign them in a stretch material though, which I now make in that good good caramel colour. 😉
