Liquid leather gloves (feat. The Classic Palm Glove pattern by @palmpatterns) to match my ribbon corset for the upcoming @bluelobsterburlesque Birds & The Bees show #handmadecostumes #burlesquecostumes #burlesque #etsysellersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagr… https://t.co/f93GBcZhYx

Ever wondered what goes inside a corset to give it shape and structure? Here’s just some of the hardware and tools I’m using for my current ribbon corset project. The white flat steel bones go in the centre-front and -back panels; the flex forward and ba… https://t.co/cuATkDnPfV

The ribbon corset is coming together nicely! This “liquid leather” requires some special handling (very grateful for 505 spray and my Teflon foot!) but otherwise it’s a pretty speedy sew, as corsets go. #burlesquecostume #corsetmaker #handmadecostumes https://t.co/gD49cnqJfz

Back at it in 2019... I made TWO MORE bras today from yesterday’s pattern (with a couple of tweaks, natch), while still having what felt like a pretty relaxed and lazy day.

It’s been a hard few days for me, so I decided to take some quiet time and end 2018 the way I started it: drafting and sewing a new bra pattern. Wire-free stretch lace with a scandalous plunge and a last-minute Y-back strap attachment, this one was prett… https://t.co/AS9UymovYt

For the next couple of weeks I’ll be unwinding here in beautiful South Australia, so I won’t have any sparkly works-in-progress to share other than what’s on my knitting needles. The past few weeks have been a bit of a blur of (non-Palm) costume construc… https://t.co/LJ8hMUuqdO

I was lucky to receive a gift certificate to use at @spoonflower for my birthday this year and it took me *forever* to decide what I wanted, but I am pretty excited about my silly, nerdy choices! .

If this were an awards acceptance speech, I would be choking up thanking 505 spray adhesive right now, because this project WOULD NOT have happened without its magical grip. This purple velvet and lace Kitten garter belt turned out super luxe and totally… https://t.co/VqKPURoqT6

Happy Hallowe’en! Here’s a little tour of one of my favourite costume ensembles from last year: “The Silent Bride”. I reconstructed a $20 thrifted wedding gown and made a 3D g-string out of a rubber dinosaur mask, plus smiling pasties, something-blue kni… https://t.co/N388ENbdjF

I’m lucky to have more than average excuses to #sewfrosting in my Official Business Week as part of developing my patterns, but my personal weekend sewing backlog is mostly practical basics lately, and these velvet lacy knickers were extremely not on tha… https://t.co/QbhiDiWsVM

#FridayFunFact about me: I loooooove baking and cake decorating, and have a major sweet tooth, but my body can’t tolerate gluten. AT. ALL. Over on my personal IG feed you’ll often find me experimenting with adapting my favourite recipes to use gluten-fre… https://t.co/02nlwfNijW
