I HAVE MASTERED THE INVISIBLE ZIPPER FOOT FEAR ME

(The secret, it turns out, is to look at both foot and zipper and understand how both work before trying it. And testing it zips each time you finish a line. Second attempt tho!!)

Adding extra space and zippers in boots

Have a pair of cosplay boots that don't fit your calf? Why not add an expansion to fit your exact size! Let's throw in a zipper while we're at it! #cosplay #tutorial

I have a problem with cosplay and fashion boots. They’re never big enough in the calf and half the time, they don’t even have zippers. How do I get my wide feet into these boots when I can’t squeeze them past the ankle? I’d honestly avoided buying boots for years, but when I wanted a pair of actual hanfu boots, I found them squeezing the life out of my leg despite saying they were wide-calf…

small life update but while i was on leave i sewed my fiancee a dress

ok this is def a 'you can see the demographic of this site aging' post but like...did you know that you have to buy pillow inserts at a bigger size than the pillow covers??? did you????

because i had to replace some pillow inserts and my apparently foolish ass thought 'oh 22" pillow covers -- clearly i buy 22" pillow inserts' and ohhhhnonono that way lies soggy sad floppy pillows!

so bc i dragged a giant bag of 4 pillow inserts on public transport once and i'm not fucking doing it again, i just used some old bedsheets i had around to make three 24" inserts, ripped open the too-small ones and split the fourth one into thirds to make up for the increased space et voilà

shoulda taken a pic of them before but rest assured these are the grapes to the raisins they were

it's funny how much easier it is to sew things when you press your fabric and transfer pattern markings and actually buy the correct presser foot 😭

Friends, I am happy to say I sewed in an invisible zipper tonight and it wasn’t a complete nightmare! 😁

milky swan acquired!!!

i get the feeling that sewing is much harder than knitting in the sense that sewing instructions seem fairly simple but then there's 83429 things that can and will go wrong, meanwhile knitting seems completely incomprehensible wizardry at first but you just gotta start and then keep going and you'll eventually get there

i also know this is a distorted vision of both crafts because i am a total beginner at sewing, and if i force myself to remember, i'll realize that my very first knitting projects sucked major ass too and im just somehow expecting to be excellent at sewing even though im only starting

that is why you never buy a dress for a fancy occasion that has an invisible zipper. theyre garbage and they burst open if you look at them funny

I have been sewing the same three zippers for the last three days

I am calling it a night because I have to be at work in 8 hours, but if the invisible zip goes well tomorrow afternoon, all I then need to do is sew in the last two panels and their tubes, cut the noodles, and set it all up.

I think I did about 14 total hours of work on it over the last 2 days. I can't wait to throw it down a hill.

ok sewing things for tonight

-add the hook clasp to my binder so the zipper stops opening

-shorts! as much of the shorts i can do!!
