made from a muse t-shirt & this amazing striped fabric i never get around to using. the graphic on the shirt isn’t spectacular, but i thought it would go really well with that fabric, so i just had to buy it :p i really like how it turned out. though maybe the pocket openings would’ve looked better if i made them bigger.
& this is in a size medium :]

look at me thinking like a capitalist xD
i love tnbc though & would never make anything purely for the sake of popularity. i had a very different idea in my head for this one, but because of the size of the graphic i had to improvise. my first improvised idea wouldn’t work either, because apparently you can’t cut a medium (or even a small!) top out of an extra large girl t-shirt, so i was forced to add side-panels. & then i got the ideas for corset lacing & stripes at the top. & because i can’t find striped knit fabric anywhere in this country, i had to make it myself from black & white knit fabric. it wasn’t half as obnoxious as i had expected it to be.

i just finished this one today. it’s made from a t-shirt from the used, one of the most amazing ones i’ve ever seen. the collar didn’t turn out quite how i wanted (i wanted it super ruffly), but i would be able to live with that flaw. although. a paying customer might not. that & the fact that it fits me perfectly & i adore it anyway is making me doubt selling this. also, the used is one of my all-time favourite bands :p i don’t know, i guess i’ll mull it over the next few days. your opinion on this would be much appreciated. yes, you. & if you desperately need to have it for yourself, don’t hesitate to tell me :]

will list these sunday-ish.

this week’s theme: polka dots! i’ve been on a polka dot kick lately. more than usual :p but polka dots are just awesome.

enjoy!

these are all from etsy, again. hope you like what i’ve picked! i know i do. those hair things make me miss having hair :p

better late than never, right? i just listed what i already had. there are a few new t-shirt reconstructions on the way, just need to make one more & hope to list those this weekend.
& that’ll be it for now. won’t make anything new until i sell something. from now on the only money i will invest in this is the money i’ve earned from it. so go buy! i also need a new, good camera.

& i know, the prices suddenly seem a lot higher, but 19% is tax. which i have to pay now, officially being registered & all.

oh, & hello new readers from facebook! i’ve noticed a lot of hits from there today & yesterday, from pages i can’t access. thank you whoever linked me! :]

this blog is now one year old! crazy, isn’t it? it seems so much longer ago that i submitted my first post. when i did i followed only a hanful of other blogs & didn’t really know what i could do with mine, other than post about the things i made. most of the time i was just flailing.

in that year of blogging i published 68 posts, got 4894 blog views, 188 comments (of which almost half are replies of mine :p), changed the name, changed the layout a lot more & abandoned the whole thing several times. it wasn’t a fantastic year, but hey, i learned from it :]

it’s also exactly a year ago today that i signed up for most of those profiles & such in my sidebar with my brand name & really started working on selling things. that got abandoned even more :p but i have higher hopes for the coming year.

so, i wore this to fightstar on saturday & for probably the first time EVER my mom actually liked what i wore & had to take a picture. it’s not the best of pictures, but i haven’t done an outfit post in a while (& didn’t get around to take more myself) so what the hell.

i just wanted to wear something simple & (near) practical. preferably something i hadn’t worn before. & this is what came of it. i think it worked out well. disregarding the temperature outside :p
