From the moment I knew I was getting kittens, I wanted to train them for harnesses. It’s worked well! This post is a lot of gratuitous kitten pictures, surrounded by a little bit of information. Here we go! I made harnesses using a simple pattern of Simplicity 2393, Size A (XXS-M). I got it at
Ready to learn how to make an incredibly simple bra? This was so easy to make, and I’ve worn it as often as I can get away with it since making it. A few months ago, I saw a pack of three tank tops for $5 at Meijer. When I opened up the package, I
The Quest for the Golden Seamstress is a really unique SCA event held in the Midrealm every spring. Most SCA events nowadays have the general structure of having various marshal activities all day (rapier, armored combat, archery, thrown weapons), alongside some A&S classes (Arts & Sciences), which wrap up with court, a feast, and then dancing.

Here are a few of the shirts I’ve made or altered! One of the coolest things I realized a couple weeks ago is that I’m wearing something that I made or altered almost every single day. This trend will likely slow down a bit in summer, when I’m layering less, but it’s still really, really
A few months ago (wow, back in April), I made a couple sets of baby/toddler SCA clothes for some dear friends of mine. They have a young one and very little help taking care of her, so I hadn’t seen them much and I was hoping to lure them out to SCA events by bribing
Hi! I’ve now officially been sick for over a week. Woo. It’s not so awful anymore, thankfully, but I’m still coughing and producing more mucus than a person should be able to, ugh. I got a lot of little things done today, though! I made some nummy food (and took pictures, heh – I might
