Mildly obsessed with sewing giant embroidered patches onto denim jackets for an instant fashion win. Jacket by Levi's, patch from Mood Fabrics.
Back view of a fat, short haired person straddling a chair. Featured is a black denim jacket with a huge backpatch. The patch is a highly ornate jewelled black skull on a deep blue background with Rococo floral and butterfly ornamentation.

Post you from a different era
On this particular day I was forced to attend an all-day team meeting of a team that I had already left for an internal move because the workload was stupid and my boss was abusive. I don't remember why the mustache was attending also.
A person in a moderately femme moderately appropriate dark coloured office outfit except that they are wearing a false mustache and a little pillbox hat with a big veil and standing on one foot posed as an aeroplane.

OK I am going to bed but I needed to see this on a lower contrast background first.
One tile of a repeating digital illustration pattern showing a string of pearls and three pieces of jewellery that are enamel and gold representations of cymbidium orchids. One has a broken fine gold chain. The background is pale blue grey and blotchy. 2x2 tiles of a repeating digital illustration showing a string of pearls and three pieces of jewellery that are enamel and gold representations of cymbidium orchids.

Instead of watching election results come in I messed around in photoshop - these enamel orchids are based on ref I took of real live cymbidium orchids at the NY Botanical Gardens a few years ago

Today's outfit of the day - same deal as yesterday; I designed the print of the top, and I sewed the top and trousers. #selfie #sewing

Advantage of taking the train over the plane: no carefully knolled security bin; just a pile of things loosely arranged on the tray table.
Tray table on an Amtrak train containing one red denim jacket, one black and bright floral tote full of snacks, one sheer black and grey scarf (large), one glasses case, one small zipper pouch in bright multicolored dog, and one pale pink portable battery, plugged into a black cord that runs down into the distance

Is it generic? Yes. Is it plants I like and an interesting experiment in colour? Sure.
A tiled print in shades of blue with a marine blue background. The print has two kinds of orchids, a couple of large fenestrated variegated monstera leaves, and a couple of ruffled fan palm leaves

New phone wallpaper by @creatinglightly.art
Screenshot of an android phone showing the time in 24hr time, the temperature in Celsius, and a wallpaper of gradient concentric curves in green focused on the silhouette of a classic e-Type jaguar. Underneath is a quote from Juliette Gréco, french singer and style icon: "It was my taste and my obligation to follow it."

I made this piece of art on January 7th 2021. It's about self-censorship in the face of almost unbelievably awful situations and the way it plays into the normalization of extremely abnormal civic situations.
A sketchbook page with the words "CERTAIN EVENTS CAN BE UPSETTING" in red and blue block lettering with the word 'events' surrounded by a blue box, and the word 'upsetting' having a blue drop shadow

Don't feel much like styling but I am excited to have used my Robbed the Rainbow spoonflower print for this Muna and Broad Nullarbor cami. It's cotton/silk and has a cool slightly crisp hand and a subtle sheen. #sewing

I sewed the prettiest v-neck bias binding I've ever done, but it will be covered in flowers 🙃. I had planned to put the floral lace trim over the bias tape as straps, but it came with a pale beige ric-rac that just disappears under it, so I'll definitely be using that! #sewing

Oh this is helpful! Lacoste shared a diagram of the pattern pieces of the original polo shirt. Or, as it were, tennis shirt. I have the Beau polo designed by @aaronicabcole.bsky.social for Made for Mermaids on my to-sew list, but I also wanted to do some vintage deep dive for myself.

Aw yeah, getting silly with it.
Items in an etsy cart: very fine embroidered rose chain appliqué in pale pink with very pale green leaves; a pile of tiny ribbon flowers in different shades of pink, some with pearls in the middle.

Look! It's got a shimmery finish and my birth month flower "engraved" into it! My bougier friends had a hard time not making stink faces at it but I am so pleased. It reminds me of a little rubber ring I got from one of those machines where you put in a coin and get a thing in a plastic bubble.

Having finished #sewing a second M&B Nullarbor cami, I am happy enough with the fit to batch cut three more. (Just cut the fronts so far because the work day calls.)
The fronts of three camisoles cut out and lying on an ironing board. One is a soft pink floral, one is a broken rainbow stripe on black, one is a deep navy with fine white line drawings of brugmansia flowers

For lunch: smoked duck breast, Swiss cheese, chèvre, honey, apple on sourdough. Mostly from local farmers' markets via Rowan. A person who isn't me would want a sharp grain mustard in there, but the duck brings enough funk for me.

The Pokémon that runs this account
Orange fish lying on its side on the ground with its mouth wide open and blank eye. It is a Magikarp and if you do all the right things one day it might be a sort of water dragon. But mostly it is considered a trash fish. I love it beyond words.

After two and a half months of being unable to sew post top-surgery I finished these shorts today! Super pleased with the fit and all the silly details.
