@mametsuko Weeee I have just finished more cuteness today! Cool stuff for Eth0 as well.

More Cuteness has entered the fediverse!

For my fellows on mastodon: Please view the post on my instance since it has 12 photos. Depending on your instance you might only see the first 4 and miss all the cuteness!

At long last I can share my newest creation with you: A new JSK I made myself after a pattern from Otome no Sewing (Book 2; Pattern #03).

I am very much in love. The Bunnies on the fabric are like a Polka-Dot but with Bunnies!

I fell in love with the fabric when I saw it in the store and it does make for a super cute JSK. I feel really cute in it.

Breakdown of the Coord:

Head: Headdress I bought from someone that made it
Blouse: Some Yillia Blouse
JSK: selfmade
Shoes: Koi Footwear Gin Military Boots (with red laces) / Koi Footwear Tira Mary Janes / Koi Footwear Darkbloom Black Platform Heels

It took me a longer time to get this one finished. There was a lot trial, measuring and a whole test piece involved. Even this JSK took me a few days to finish. But OMG do I look cute!

I still hate gathering (I did not try string gathering here but used the usual method instead) but making the shirring Panel was super fun. The straps are nice and I really like how the JSK looks and feels. Such nice cotton.

Now I just need to buy a steamer, that when I wash it to get it look nice again. I do really look forward wearing this one out to an event this weekend!

(eth0 find this bunny there! I will be availiable for photos with the cuties. Ask away!)

There are some Notes for you:

• technically the JSK is not 100% finished. The Bodice should actually have some bows on it. I did not make them yet. I will have to check if I have enough fabric left. Though tbh I like the bodice as is. The waist may need something though.

• The Dress should actually have Waist-Ties as well. They might help make the JSK a little more filled on the waist area. I have made the Waist Ties but I plan to attach them with buttons and a Buttonhole on the Waist Ties.

• The headdress is not super fitting since its red/black but I do not have any other atm. Something with floppy bunnyears might be fun tbh. I will see about that.

• All my shoes are all black, lol. I guess white or red ones might look better here. My favorite here are the Platform Heels tbh. Though the lower Mary Janes look good as well.

• I am aware the petticoat is slightly too long and peaks out. I have another shorter one on the way I can try sometime.

• I had some mishaps with the lace so the bunnies are not hopping into the same direction But I am not gonna redo all that lace.

I am just so happy

@steph soon™ (at eth0)

@volpeon

I am on vacation. So the sewing demons will continue to haunt me today

@volpeon You at work again?

To be fair there is some human in the chain. But I still will full defed here.

Woaw Fedi-instance run by clankers. Why even bother you sick freaks...

I will just go to bed again.

@Johann150 pinguine sind auch süß

@epsi *faint Padoru in the background...*

I would not be so sure epsi

@Hika

Sewing Demons continue to haunt this flat

Lots of lace was attached to the different tiers of fabric for the skirt. For now comes my not so favorite thing to do…. Gathering.

For now I will only attach the bottom tier to the mid tier of the skirt and then attach that to the top tier.

After that I will need to finish the bodice and… do more gathering. Fun.

@aetios the immutably distro striking again?

Today went well sewing wise I guess. Good progress was made and although it will always look a little home-made (there is small little mistakes here and there and hems are evil!) I like it so far.

Though I will likely end up using way less of that bunny lace than the pattern actually calls for. It just does not look to great everywhere. But it will be fine.

Todays progress:

• Made the Waist Ties (normally these should be sewn into the bodice but I think I will leave them detached and add some buttons to the dress instead so I can opt to use them or not). I also wish I would have had more fabric to make them doublesided. Having the wrong side show is kinda meh. But its also how the pattern does it. 🤷‍♂️

• Connected all the Tier-pieces of every tier and double-fold hemmed to bottom most tier. Tbh it kinda sucks to do a hem over a 3m long strip of fabric but does look clean and I hope my measurements were fine and the hem won’t be tooo uneven in the end. There is still lace to attach under it as well.

• Made the straps. They consist of the strap and a ruffle that attaches to it. Looks very cute I like them.

• Front of the Bodice was made. Still some work to finish that one to do tomorrow

• Back Shirring Panel also was made and the straps attached. This time I will put through the elastic after attaching the skirt piece though. Just to make my life easier when attaching the bodice to the skirt. That will mean I will need to open up the side of the bodice again after attaching the skirt. That will be fun…

Whats still to do:

• Finish the bodice by finishing the front and attach the straps, lace, and back panel to it to make the full bodice.

• gather the skirt tiers to the correct sizes and attach the different tiers together, while not forgetting to add the bunny-lace in between.

• Attach bodice and skirt

Then the base JSK will be done and I can actually wear that one to eth0 already. Though tbh I still would need to make some bows for the front of the bodice and sew on some buttons for the waist ties.

That will come later. Maybe I can get that done before will have to see about that.

I also did not add any lining after all I could just not be bothered lol. Makes it lighter and breaths easier.

@aetios He (Marco) refers to himself as "meat-coder", I would not get too worked up about what he says tbh. He drank the kool-aid already. As for Collin....

He might have a point about code generally being pretty shitty at corps and stuff. The economy as a whole does not value "good code" they value "works" and "good enough". If you wanted good code you would need more time, effort and testing put into it. No one is gonna pay for that. Infrastructure seems in a similar boat.

Maintainability of stuff is also really important for code pretty sure. Best software code in the world won't help you if you cannot maintain and understand it properly.

The Coding world might be in for a rude awakening in a few years... And Lots of rewriting shit from scratch. But then again I am no dev

@lyli Bring the halloween spirit with you to them!

Releasing the sewing demons today!

Sewing machine is cleaned, oiled and has a new needle installed. Threads are spooled up as well.

So ready for the lovely red fabric with bunnies

Will be fun (until it is not lol). I will take photos for you

@pixel touché.

I should maybe get some more sleep though. And you too!

@pixel Pixel its saturday already

@steph I am just too cheap for that and rectangles were just that much cheaper.

I also do not own a cricut or something so we cut by hand.

Cut out all the Bunnies!

(yes I was very cheap and ordered them as square stickers)

But since they are hand-cut every one of them is unique a little bit
