@Shellanin I cannot ❤️ this enough!!!

Further proof that "Don't cast for the (ethnicity/race/gender/disability), cast the best actor!" is a bullshit argument. There are great actors in every size shape and color. Take the time to find them.

Thanks for the work, Jacob. We appreciated it.

It should also be noted here that "all by myself" = "with a lot of advice from my mom"! 😆

Closing out #memademay2020 with a grand finale: the first article of clothing I made all by myself - back in high school! 😁 And yes, #ithaspockets 😃

Made this dress for my cousin's summer wedding! The lightweight cotton fabric and simple, flowy design make it SO comfortable! 😃

A partial #memademay piece today: this skirt used to be a dress, but when it sprung a hole, I cut the damaged top portion off and turned the excess fabric at the middle into a waistband! 😊

A cameo for #memademay Day Time-is-Meaningless-in-Quarantine! Three dress shirts I managed to make as a surprise gift even while we were living together! Each one uses a different color, weave, and pattern!

I dreamed of making a #threepiecesuit since I started sewing in high school – this charcoal, #pinstripe wool #suit with lavender silk lining is a dream come true! Photos by Butterhalf Cosplay!

Today's #memademay piece is a #madmen dress I made for a party! 😊 Purple's my favorite color, and the satin is so smooth it's like wearing water! 💜 Plus, #ithaspockets

Today's #memademay project was a fun use of scrap fabric - a new robe for an old dog! #memademay2020 #sewistsgonnasew #myownpattern #sewistsofinstagram
