My new tattoo!

I've been wanting this tattoo forever. I waited since I was fresh out of highschool to get this tattoo, mostly because I wasn't sure if I was going to change my mind and decide I didn't want it anymore and there it was, permanently stuck on me forever. But I'm very happy with it and so glad I finally got it.. and for free even!

sewing for robert's halloween costume

so after a rigorous night of cutting, poking myself with needles, folding, ironing, and sewing i have completed one of my favorite projects yet, roberts tail coat!

robert and i drove to the goodwill where i let him pick out an xxxl mens dress coat. it needed to be long for the tail part (which i still need to take a picture of his backside LOL), so an xxxl was crucial. never mind that it was wide, that is an easy fix. you just fit it and sew up the sides. then comes the hard part where i put all my focus in where to cut and where to sew. it's a little hard to explain in words but maybe i might post a tutorial since i want to make one for myself. i know my words dont give it justice. and it is a really easy reconstruct, if you want to try this out you definitely should and look at examples online to wing it! difficulty i would rate at basic sewing skills, unless you're going for a clean look then i'd rate it at experienced sewing skills.
