Maymecakes Costumes

I know it would be an understatement to say things are "stressful" right now, but don't forget, you hold a secret weapon -- your crafting and creative abilities.... Take time out of your day today, even if it's five stinking minutes, and do something that moves your hands and clears your brain. Or today might be the perfect day to use a seam ripper to attack that WIP that needs to be restarted ... See more

Haven't been working on a lot of costumes lately. After the fire this spring I am still trying to get organized. School and work have been getting in the way. I am looking forward to creating more in this coming year. #HappyNewYear2021 to you all. May 2021 be full of health, happiness and creative creations that make your heart sing.

I feel conflicted about exposing my fabric dealer's page. What if you get the fabric I need?!? The owner of this page is too nice not to share, damn it

Happy Sunday stitchers and makers. May you never need your seam ripper, but always know where it is.

I'm going to need this.

I was looking for this pretty light pink satin ribbon to trim out my chocolate brown velvet Dickens era hat. I ended up sorting ribbon for four hours. Finally found the ribbon I was thinking of, it is peach not pink. Sigh, I see the Way of the year of the hat is not to be an easy path to follow. #2020yearofthehat #MilinaryMercenaryGuild

2020 shall be the year of hat making. I have spoken.

My struggle is real, I need to make a new surcoat for a 12th night party on the 11th. I have 15 yards of black velvet I want to use. The problem is it is in a storage tub under four other storage tubs filled with fabric. I just had surgery and can't lift anything over 15 pounds. Sigh...I guess I'll have to go buy some new fabric, you know, for my health.
