      @@whowhat.wherewhen well, making shoes is way more difficult than making clothes like dresses and corsets I believe... So a good idea would be some green or brown boots, I just really love boots I think they are really comfortable and cool.

    Step 1: "I wouldn't be a pile of leaves without all of you."
    Step 2: Singular leaf suggests leaf skirt.
    Step 3: Make entire leaf dress.
    Step 4: Apotheosis into some sort of autumn demigoddess or cryptid. 🍁🍂👑🍂🍁

    I made a Poison Ivy costume years ago and definitely used the machine to “stitch” the leaves. It definitely went faster but DO NOT LOOK AT THE INSIDE! I love that the color pattern kind of reminds me of a phoenix :)

    My autumn plans include sewing a dress out of this celestial print bedsheet I found at the goodwill, and wearing it to the apple orchard along with the witch hat I crocheted, and proceeding to pick way too many apples and tiny gourds whilst looking like an astronomy prof from Hogwarts. ✨

    Got heavy Micarah Tewers vibes from this one! I really admire you guy's ability to "calmly" harness your chaotic energy to makes such awesome works of art! I really wish I had that same energy or at least motivation to get back into sewing and accomplish even a fraction of what you two are able to do.
    Absolutely love your art and projects, so subbing for more of that chaotic pixie, fairy.. mystical cottage core forest dweller energy. Yeah!

    I feel like there are 3 types of people who sew and yes, more than one can apply at a time:
    - thought it was gonna make things easier and be simpler than an alternative (sorry buddy)
    - wants to make a very specific vision into reality, chaotic being with great style
    - adhd hyperfixation, may be REALLY into sewing things by hand and also embroidery

    Okay first of all, I was so excited when I saw on your IG story you were putting out this video, because all I want is to share ideas with the creators I admire on social media and for them to go "yes good this is an excellent idea I agree." So you literally made my WEEK!
    Second, coming back with more random animal facts that no one asked for: the 2nd bird pic you showed was that of a yellow-billed magpie which is my favorite corvid (usurping the ravens of yesteryear); they happen to be an endangered species endemic to the Central Valley of California where I live. They are little trash gremlins, with the prettiest blue streak in their wings, and sound like they're laughing when they all come together and sound a predator alert (we had a lot of stray cats in our neighborhood).
    Third: I totally agree about making stuff just to paint and weather it. THE best part of any project.
    Anyway, love how it turned out!! It looks so good, you can't even tell there's hot glue. The flutter sleeves were definitely the way to go!

    I love how you deal with your chaos. Yes I'm one of those "old ladies" who likes what you wear but doesn't have the nice figure to wear them... also I live in Oregon so my leaf dress when I get to putting it together will be more late Victorian in style. I react to sewing machines the way you react to putting sleeves in... hence my hand sewing everything.
