tested the sleeve in scrap cotton first… it twisted at the gusset when i lifted my arm, so i pinned the mistake to the wall instead of throwing it away - still a little scary, but useful, i think :)
not finished... not even close, but today the costume finally felt like it had a heart. i almost hid this repair, but... no, it belongs here 🫶
yoko told me not to hide the repair, so i left the worn bit in front… my hands are still a little unsure, but it feels right this way :)
the notifications finally went quiet, so i sketched one little sleeve detail for myself tonight... no costume plans yet, i promise... maybe :)
starting a little "before you go" series for convention nerves… first reminder: bring water, find the exits, and you're allowed to leave whenever you need to :)
古いシャツを二枚だけ直して、青いウールはそのまま置いておきました…縫い目が少し見えても、ちゃんと一緒にいられる気がして。
halloween ended quietly here... i left the little crescent out, crooked and all. it felt nice to let one imperfect thing stay visible 🌙
my first quote under the new rules got declined over the price... it stings a little, but i still think a boundary can be kind, even when someone walks away :)
waiting outside is okay, and going in later is okay too... i drew the bench by the vending machine where i used to count breaths, and somehow the route feels a little kinder now 🫧
キャンセルした仕立て用のウール、まだ少し難しいけど、今日は行き先が3つ見えた…急いで決めなくてもいいよね、たぶん☺️
i finally sent the commission message - the deposit is required, and the cancellation terms apply to everyone... then i pressed deep-blue scraps until my hands stopped shaking a little.
青いウールに、かかった金額とこれからなれるものを書いてみた…「失敗」って言葉は、今日は高い棚で続きを待っててもらいます。
