Mending my favourite vintage night gown
I got this nightgown at a vintage shop a few months ago, for not an insignificant amount of money let’s be honest, and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, I wore it for a single weeks before a nasty tear appeared in the sleeve. I already had to strengthen the neckline trim and patch the inside yoke so it wasn’t a complete surprise, but still, I was kind of pissed off since I paid kind of a lot of money for it. Anyways, here’s my repairing process in pictures:
1) The torn fabric (zoom on the picture to see just how bad it was)
2) Basting the patch. The fabric was so worn I used two patches, one inside and one outside, to securely sandwich the delicate zone and prevent future tearing.
3) I was loosely inspired by sashiko for the mending so, last night I went into a mending rampage and drew a grid before starting on the stitching proper, making up a pattern as I went on. No picture of the grid pre-stitching because it was 11pm and I had lost any sense of time and space.
4) The patched up nightgown, with the topmost buttonhole strengthened before it started spontaneously disintegrating too.
I am super happy with my pseudo-sashiko mending pattern and will really research this technique of embroidery and mending for future use!
little things that i try to do to get more out of my clothes
Admit to yourself that you want things.
Admit to yourself that you're hungry and then don't settle for less than your fill of life.
How do you know what you should do
You pay very close attention your body because it doesn’t know how to lie to you, and pay very little attention to your mind because it is lying to you all the time
Hi! So I wanted to do something nice for the amazing artists and writers whose art I really enjoy and now that I have 155 followers, Holy cow, where did you all come from?! Did you get lost? I thought why not combine the two ideas and tell a bunch of people about...

how to stay motivated as a writer
Reread your old writing, especially those scenes you’re most proud of
Write something silly. It doesn’t need to be logical, consistent or included in your story. Write something dumb
Compare your old writing to your new writing. Seeing how much you’ve improved can be very motivating
Explore different storylines, those type of storylines that would never make it into your story, but you’d still like to play around with. Create AUs!
Choose one of your least favorite scenes and rewrite it
Act out your scenes
Read old comments from people praising your work
Create a playlist that reminds you of your wip
Team up with a friend, write AUs for each other's characters
Create playlists for your characters
Draw your ocs/make memes of your ocs
Draw/make memes of your friend's ocs
Don’t push yourself to get back into writing the thing that made you stop writing in the first place, try writing something else!
Write what you wanna write, no matter how cliché it might be. If you want to write it, write it
Take a break, focus on another hobby of yours. Consume other pieces of media, take a walk to clear your head
You don’t have to write in chronological order if it isn’t working for you! Sometimes a scene you aren’t interested in writing can become interesting after you’ve explored other scenes in the story
Read bad reviews of books or TV-shows. You’ll unlock appreciation and motivation for your own writing
Create a new storyline, or a new character! Anything that helps bring something fresh into your story. Could even be a completely new wip!
Not writing every day doesn’t make you a bad writer. Take a break if you feel like you need one
Remind yourself to have fun. Start writing and don’t focus all your attention on following “the rules.” You can get into the nitty-gritty when you’ve familiarized yourself with writing as an art. Or don’t. It’s fiction, you make your own rules
Go to sleep, or take a nap. Sleep deprivation and writing does not go hand in hand
Listen to music that reminds you of your characters/wip
Remember why you started. Know that you deserve to tell the story you want to tell regardless of the skill you possess
“Eu perdoo você. Essa sim é uma das frases mais poderosas que existem. Capaz de te trazer de volta toda paz roubada e liberar todos os sonhos engaiolados que você têm de ser feliz. O erro dos outros é uma bagagem deles, não sua. A mágoa pesa demais e ocupa muito o peito, não há como se dar o luxo de ocupar o coração com o que não é bom. Perdoar tem o poder de esvaziar os oceanos contidos de lágrimas que doeram e não foram choradas. Tão poderoso a ponto de te permitir continuar. É como dizer: você e o que me faz mal já não tem espaço aqui. E, assim, poder seguir em frente.”
— Diego Castro.
“Amor verdadeiro, geralmente, não te encontra quando você está no seu melhor. Te encontra quando você não poderia estar mais perdido.”
— J. S. Park.
“Go where you are celebrated – not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value in you, it’s time for a new start.”
— Unknown
The wound is the place light enters you
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
— Thích Nhất Hạnh
