firstly, i love you and your blog so so much!! ♥ secondly, how do you get your eyebrows blue?? and how did you make your binder?? where did you get the velvet?? im sorry for all the questions i am just so curious!! xx

Thank yew sweet stranger! :)
Eyebrows- eyeshadow primer (I use urban decay), thin angled brush, blue eyeshadow (the one in the sweetheart pallet from Sugar Pill is really good). Wet your brush or use a white cream base if they aren’t looking intense enough.

Binder- I basically just sewed a very tight tank top, using another shirt I had as a reference for the pattern. I put a double layer of fabric in front for maximum squashing. Make sure you use fabric with lots of give/streachyness or you can hurt yourself! Take care of that ribs cage you got just one okay? If the fabric is thicker it holds its shape better, that’s why I chose stretchy velvet.
I got the fabric from a thrift store dress that was really long. I cut and hemmed it to a proper slut length as I always do, and was left with enough fabric scraps to piece the binder together.
Edit: use a zig zag stitch or an overlock sewing machine to stitch up the sides or your seams with rip. it you don’t have access to sewing machines that do that, or are sewing by hand, just triple or quadruple stitch that shit!

Martha’s butt & cozy layers. I’m going for a genderfucked glam-goth school boy look for fall, I think. Nnyno gave me this big long sleeve stripy shirt she didn’t want; I took in the sides, chopped off the sleeves and bottom, used the extra fabric for ruffles, and added lace to the collar. I need to find more dress shirts to do this to, I love how it turned out.

DIY sequin cat cardigan & black glitter nails. (I made it by cutting the shapes out of felt and stitching them by hand around the edges to the sweater. Super easy! The tedious part was sewing each sequin on one at a time. TAKES FUREVERRR)

My bag, small bows and eyeball made by me, big bow given to me by a friend (it was from an 80s prom dress). Purse is thrift.

I turned this jumper from baggy, saggy shorts into a skirt (seriously it looked like diaper butt), and added the orange trim & bow. Much better.

Yr favorite barista! These shorts give me a serious wedgie. I made this apron last night from an old curtain my old roommate was going to throw away when she moved out. She looked at me like I was crazy when I said I wanted to make something out of it. I HAD TOO MUCH COFFEE AT WORK TODAY. Two of my favorite girls are coming over tonight. I’m a happy kitty. bye! <3

My progress thus far of my goal of sewing sequins onto every lapel I can get my grubby little femme paws on.

I made this necklace from a pair of antique scissors, I love it and it’s nice to fidget with. I’m a big fidgeter. I have to be really carefully not to jab people when I hug them, though. Haha.

My hair looks like crap because it’s actually clean. Yuck.

Working on a jacket; I&#8217;ve been hand staining it for the past couple days, now it&#8217;s ice cream time! I&#8217;m probably going to sell this when I finish it. I have enough jackets and I can&#8217;t horde everything I make.
