Costuming story

For reasons that are unimportant, I needed a vaguely Ren/Medieval shirt. I had gotten a book on costumes for theater and found a 'pattern' that would work well.

It was a shirt that was more or less a fashion staple for 6-700 years in Europe. And it was all rectangles, with some additions to make it wearable by various sized people.

One of these was to sew a ribbon or tape into the collar and a matching one in the sleeve cap. To shorten the shoulder (& fit the more narrow-shouldered wearer) would be to tie those together, to the appropriate length. Drawstring in cuffs & collar.

Rectangles used were 1 for back, 2 for front, 2 for sleeves, 2 strips for cuffs, & 1 strip for collar. Easy peasy. I don't remember the measurements now (although I think the shirt back was the fabric width, because who cares if the shirt is blousy), except the sleeves were 1 yard, which I misread as 1 yard each.

Reading comprehension is very important, fyi.

I cut the 1 yard for the sleeves into 2 pieces, 1 for each sleeve. Everything went smoothly. And the flexibility of the shirt pattern meant it could fit me (5'2") & my 6' boyfriend. It was just tunic length on me & shirt length on him.

Then I tried it on. The sleeves hung down to my knees. If I flapped my arms it looked like a late 19th century attempt to fly.

All was not lost, however.

If I tied the ribbons so the shoulder cap was right at the collar, the sleeves only hung down just past my hands. And it made a neat 'overhang' shoulder. Once I tied the cuffs, the sleeves hung down just past my knuckles, which is fitting imho.

And we could both wear still wear it; kind of a new twist on 'the boyfriend shirt.'

just went through half my likes and found a BUNCH of old stuff that I never drafted, so.... oomfka HSAJKDFHKASD

i am about 2 b unbearable this weekend so if u dont wanna see that lol block the tag: jgps

Am I normal or do I have no idea what normal actually is and never truly know who I am and what's real and rely on what others tell me is real

being adhd is great because sometimes you'll say "boy I just feel terrible, what's going on with me?" and look at your daily pill container and see that you haven't taken your daily pills in several days because you kept getting distracted

i love reblogging copious amounts of posts from media i love but super haven’t finished

HELP HE MADE A LIST OF WHAT HE WOULD DO WITHOUT B/ONK/ERS!!!

I was at the mall a little while ago with my mom and we were in a shoe store

I was thinking about jorts (jean shorts) and jirts (jean shirts/skirts), when I saw a pair of denim shoes

So I held them up and declared “Joes” (pronounced rhyming to shoes)

And she was like “SHUSH Why did you say that so loud”

I was confused until I realized oh shit Jews is a word and I probably shouldn’t have said that so loud without context

Anyway I fucked up but it was funny in retrospect

first day of work after almost 3 weeks sick note ourgh honestly the urge to just show up and be like "hi i quit btw"

Ok im partly through Mumbo 's episode and just. Thinking about Tubbo's reaction to Doc's worldeater. somewhere between incredibly impressed (bc the kid HAS been trying to make nukes) and abject horror (bc Doomsday flashbacks)

It would have to be explained to Tubbo why Doc would even build one of those on a server as peaceful as HC. Like don't get me wrong he definitely sees a world eater's usefulness because it's pretty much just a weapon of mass destruction and Tubbo has a few of those himself. But like, they don't do wars on HC like they do on DSMP. Either way, were it not for the fact he already figured out how to build nuclear bombs on his own Tubbo might ask Doc to give him the blueprints or whatever. (Maybe he would ask anyway.)

But digging a really big fucking hole really fast is pretty sick too. It's oddly satisfying to watch in a way he didn't really expect: just a simple, repetitive motion with a sound to match, neatly contained within its perimeter. It's terrifying, but it's also kind of beautiful. And mostly safe! Which is nice. He likes not getting exploded, generally.

Sidenote: Tubbo and Doc would talk bombs together. Tubbo's proud of what he's figured out on his own and it would be nice to share that with someone who would understand what he's talking about when he explains the process of building the nukes. Plus Doc has some wicked (as in, awesome and also evil) advice to contribute too.

Do you ever just. Reblog something on the wrong blog?

‘Cause same.

So I'm sure I'd get shot on sight if I told makeup enthusiasts this irl but I always wet my eyeshadow brush a little before using bright/light colors. Then it's like using watercolor paint, and it seems to be more vibrant when actually applied. Idk the effects it might have on the pallet but I'm always satisfied with the results, so I recommend that. I'm sorry it didn't turn out how you wanted. I'm sure you still look amazing 🥰

ooo wait that's actually a really good idea, i have a lot of trouble with vibrancy so that could super easily solve that problem

i don't imagine it'd have too much effect on the pallette, at most you might just get some clumps since it's just water and they're pretty easy to fix

also ehehe thank you -w-
