Capelette: I’m ready to be extra at your funeral.

February 28, 2019February 28, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 2 Comments

Over a year ago I bought two kinds of fake fur when lining and updating my vintage coat. Last summer, when making a Gothic Emily Doll for my friend Emily I saw a capelette pattern at Yuzawaya while I was trim shopping. It looked like it'd be a great way to use up my black … Continue reading Capelette: I’m ready to be extra at your funeral.

JINX!

February 18, 2019February 18, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I just can't stop making Teen Titans Go dolls. This should be no surprise to anyone who knew me shortly after college when I started to amass a collection of female action figures. It seemed like a hobby that had limits because action figures were even worse back then about not producing or short packing … Continue reading JINX!

Costume Finished!

February 15, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I hope to get better photos at the show on Sunday but here we go! RomaFest is this Sunday. I am having some strong imposter syndrome feelings but I know I love to dance. I didn't have time to make something from scratch nor the money to buy anything that would be of  the same … Continue reading Costume Finished!

Diana Prince pt 2

February 13, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I'm doing fairly well with the "finish it" goal of February and so-so on the frugal one. Diana Prince, the groovy boutique owning super spy WW with no powers, is almost finished. Removed the Barbie lining of her jacket and I relined with leftover kimono silk from my own jacket re-lining project last year. She … Continue reading Diana Prince pt 2

Color Blocked to fight crime: Diana Prince part 1

February 6, 2019January 13, 2020 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 2 Comments

The day after I wrote about craft as meditation the world decided to throw me a curve. Someone I had once been friends with has done something I can’t stomach and legal action against him has thus been thwarted. I blocked him. I posted the information and screenshots I’d received as proof of his actions. … Continue reading Color Blocked to fight crime: Diana Prince part 1

Hair Meditation.

February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 6 Comments

A common reaction to my arts and crafts is: "I wouldn't have the patience" I don't. I am not a patient person. I am a scattered mind with so many ideas and thoughts that teaching myself organizational skills has been essential to get anything done. When I am not hyper-focused I am easily distracted and … Continue reading Hair Meditation.

Heads up! Finish it February!

February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I haven't been around because illness took me DOWN. After two rounds of antibiotics, more nasal steroids, and the joy of three days in a row  without kerosene fumes I'm almost better. Welcome to Finish-it-February, wherein I try to be frugal by focusing on finishing projects instead of starting them. Of course, as soon as … Continue reading Heads up! Finish it February!
