Working on my @closetcase.patterns #clarecoat this weekend. Got the outer shell looking great. It’s weird - feels like sewing cardboard sometimes hehehe. But I’m really enjoying it and am feeling really excited about wearing it!

One day, baby. One day. #heatheraudin

Professional photos by @donaldmanning yesterday at #bristolcomiccon - they’re incredible thank you 😊🙏🏼

Went to @ukcomicon_gaming_festivals #bristolcomiccon today with hubs and our little boy. Swipe to see the finished waistcoat and bow tie I made for hubby. All mine was bought from independent crafters, mainly through Etsy. We had a really fantastic time and can’t wait to find out when the next one is. . Also now really looking forward to a corset making workshop at Sarah’s shop, so maybe I can slowly work my way up to proper cosplay making.

Making hubby a waistcoat, before I start the Clare coat, for a #steampunk cosplay we’re doing soon at #bristolcomiccon Most of what we’re both wearing is bought stuff this time round, but wouldn’t it be great to work up to making more? 😊 #sewingismytherapy #worldmentalhealthday . Fabric is a Harris Herringbone from @fabworksmillshop who I got the fabric for my Lander trousers from. I hope I’m doing it justice. I feel very grown up making it. 😊 . Pattern is @simplicity_creative_group 1506 and it will be lined with some brown lining fabric I got from @likesewamazing when she destashed just before opening her shop.

Pattern tracing for a little selfless sewing project for hubby. Best way to trace? Upright and backache-free baby! All hail blu-tac! 😊
