So, one of my friends shared this pieced and quilted plague doctor mask. I admit, I went "oooooo, pretty." Then I looked at the directions and laughed. That's a lot more work than I want to do (though I do have the skill to do it). But there is a pattern to the simplified mask. That I'm going to take a stab at. :) Perhaps I'll share photos here.

The doctor is in.
In case the below image doesn't work.

I can tell I haven't been in the mood for reading much fan fiction lately (but some stories always get my attention). My queue is now at 221 unread chapters. Okay, to be fair, I've been bookmarking stories that sound interesting to read later but the backlog is getting a bit obscene.

It's been too long since my hands last caressed the sewing kit. I yearn to hold soft cloth between my fingers and make something beautiful again. I'll be alone for the next couple of days so I thought of the perfect project:

So, the other day I got this little felt sewing kit to sew little plush snacks. I started my first one yesterday, and just finished it.

I made it a little ornament for Christmas by sewing on a red string. It didn't come out quite as well as I wanted it to, but I'm still pretty proud of it. (Especially for someone who's never even touched a sewing needle in their life) What do you guys think?

June 10: Friday

Rarity guided the fabric through the sewing machine. She was only half focused on what she was doing. She was waiting for her acceptance letter. The stress made it impossible to do anything but sew, while also making it impossible for her to give her real projects the attention they needed. She was stress sewing; because that was the only way to calm her worries.

It's been ok, I guess. I spent this morning looking at makeup tutorials and this person who styles her Barbie's hair. I then cut out a pattern for this black skirt I've wanted to make for ages.Then I sewed a patch on my older brother's backpack. He thanked me and expressed his gratitude with a yellow shirt that had a smiling sun on it.

I stayed up until midnight working on a patch, and I finished it today. While I learned some cool techniques, it was the fugliest patch in the world. I made another one today, and it looked a lot better. I got inspired to make some more crafty shit and got ready to go to Hobby Lobby. Then I remembered that it was Sunday... The good news is that I have about 4 months to make this thing. It's just that this is the last week I'll have the time to do this shit. This kind of

The computer was broken so I spent the past couple of days hand sewing bralettes. I'm so excited that it's pride month! I just don't know how to celebrate since I'm not out to everyone and I can't really go to events. I might just talk about girls with my friends. It's nice to talk about stupid shit people say to bisexuals with bisexuals

I liked the alone time. I needed a strapless bra for my senior portrait, so she made me go to Victoria's Secret. I got the plainest bra and it was still fucking expensive. What the FUCK? It's pretty though. It's white and silky, and it fits beautifully! I regret making my appointment so early. Hopefully, I won't get bags or anything in my photo.

I finished the bralette and it turned out gorgeous! I'm done sewing for today since I busted my ass making that. Hopefully, I can get the supplies I need to finish my other one. Sewing with lace is quite a challenge, but it's also fun since it isn't as obvious that you fucked up.

I stayed up until midnight working on my sewing project and then I spent all morning sewing that shit. I'm putting my sweat and tears into this project. I don't need it to be done for a couple more months, but I won't have this much free time for a long time.

I GOT INSPIRED TO MAKE THIS CREAM COLORED BRALETTE OUT OF RIBBON AND LACE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ELASTIC. HOWEVER, I HAVE ENOUGH ELASTIC TO MAKE A HALF AND HALF KIND OF BRA. I REALLY HOPE IT TURNS OUT WELL. I FINISHED THE CUPS, AND I'M HALFWAY THROUGH SEWING THE BAND. THEN I HAVE TO CAREFULLY SEW THAT SHIT TOGETHER. IT WILL BE RELIEVING TO GET TO THE PART IN WHICH I PUT THE RIBBON THROUGH THE BAND.
