How to Copy Your Clothes

My favourite way of making clothes is to just copy well fitting things I already have. You can either trace around the whole garment and use a tracing wheel for the seams, or carefully cut your piece up at the seams and use the parts as a pattern. The cut up method is obviously for clothes that you no longer wear but would like to replace.

Not only will it save you so much money (patterns) and time (the tedious fitting process) it’s also great in combination with thrift shopping.

Like when I find cheap vintage clothes in thrift shops that fit perfectly but are made of nasty polyester or come in ugly prints/colour combinations, I’ll just buy them to use as a pattern, same with thrifted clothes where stains and smells won’t come out.

There are a two basic things to consider: the elasticity and weight of the fabric should be similar, i.e. replace poly jersey with cotton jersey, and make sure the cuts of the clothes aren’t too complicated, like start with something simple.

Here’s Mimi G teaching both methods by using leggings, the perfect item to get started:

And here she is again with a T-shirt tutorial:

You can also make the T-shirt longer and let it flare out at the bottom to make a dress, tunic, or nighty [Edit: oops, I meant nightie, or sleep-shirt.]

Don’t forget to use jersey needles when sewing with stretch fabrics.

🌈 Happy sewing! 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️

A thought that arises from the idea of tiefling babies often ending up being abandoned: A rich tiefling adventurer retiring and starting up a tiefling orphanage that takes care of rejected tiefling babies and children.

“I don’t think that every villain in the world actually thinks they’re being a good guy, but I do think that everybody creates a value system that justifies the actions they’re taking, and and I think there’s a difference between those two things. Not everybody believes that they’re on the side of righteousness, but everybody has a way of justifying the actions they’re taking. Not every villain has to be a misunderstood hero, and in fact I think there are a lot of instances throughout history of people who were obviously doing the wrong thing and probably had an understanding of that on some level, but had some rationale or justification for it. A lot of villains in literature and media have these weird, Thanos-esque philosophies of what it is that they’re trying to do, and I think human motivation tends to come from more primal places than that. So a lot of the villains I write can be brilliant or clever (and, in fact, probably should be), but their motivation tends to be primal. They wanna be rich, they wanna have power, they wanna live forever. There’s something deep down that is, when you break it down, not too complex. Right? If you look at the real world, the people that are doing bad stuff don’t need complex motivations. They wanna rule the world! They wanna be rich! They wanna be unafraid that other people can ever screw them over, so they screw other people over. Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundanes of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.”

(I found this quote to be really meaningful in like…life in general which is why I posted it here. When he said “evil is boring”, it felt like something clicked in me that I had known deep down but hadn’t had the words for.)
