after which I'm going to settle back into my craft nest and do some work on the handstitched box I'm making for my sister's offspring keepsakes.

The ugly truth I told a fellow writer is that everyone used to get handstitched clothing but now tailoring is a luxury good. As such, most humans will happily buy their art and writing and code "off the rack" and only a small cadre of experts and artisans will remain in the trade.

The main thing is that as long as this shit stays heavily subsidized it’s cheaper than a human being and you don’t need to worry about it demanding you recognize its union; it’s a labor-discipline tool first, actual utility second, in terms of how its creators have built it, imho

Blue leather shoes of unknown origin, era, material. A very good blue shade with open square toe, handstitched and with disintegrating soles.

Putting the finishing touches on this upcycled jacket that I'll wear on Dia de Los Muertos. Checking it out in the mirror.

Handstitching red lace around a fabric skull sewn onto a black jacket.

A woman is shown trying on a jacket embellished with a fanciful skull. The image is reflected in a mirror.

I intended to make a cardigan for Elvira but it had a bit of a punk/goth vibe so Mara claimed it. Handsewn from an old cardigan. 🪡

My faves are in Taiwan but it's just too annoying to be sending relatively straightforward things that far! My brilliant UK cobbler went bankrupt, thankfully not before he handstitched a double welt for me! So my standards are high. Fingers crossed!
