…and now could never live without!!
- Glow-in-the-dark thread. This was just so awesome there was no way it could NOT not exist! Turns out, it does. It’s expensive at $6 for 100 yards, but the effect is SOOO worth it! It adds a little extra kick to things that are Frankenstein-stitched on.
- Printable fabric. I can not express how awesome this is, especially since a lot of what I make *is* little patches- this saves me the step of the whole iron-on decal BS. Expensive, but worth it! Since I make doll-sized stuff, I can make a sheet last for a few projects. It also irons on fabric if I need to layer stuff. I prefer it to the dark-fabric transfer decal paper.
- Teeny-tiny bottles of Tacky Glue. I rarely use glue that isn’t hot glue and I can never justify the expensive of a massive bottle that somehow mysteriously dries out. JoAnn’s carries tiny bottles of it for $0.60. Score!
The best part? I can get all of it on stores that are open on Sundays- so no having to deal with Hobby Lobby hell to get these! Actually, something funny’s happened at my Hobby Lobby store lately; the cashiers are nicer and the lines are shorter. Wonder what happened? Should I get used to this?
I’m also working on a massive bead-work project, so I’ll be pic-spamming the hell out of it once I get it started! It’s a new dress for the Titanic costume; has 3 tiers of beaded chiffon over grey satin. After Halloween, I’ll be removing the longest tier, make a shorter satin underlayer, and wear it as a shorter dress for my cousin’s wedding in April. I’ll probably keep the longer layers just in case I decide to “go long” again!
