There are also no child sewing pattern paper attempts on my messy floor, as you do.
I wasn't going to take pics of this pretty basic #goth ensemble but the man in the grocery store today said he liked my outfit. So here it is age old thrifts with bonus cat butt. π€

Mapped out my niece's new sewing measurements on scrap packing paper to create a sort of a-line dress pattern. Mainly she's grown a foot so her previous Christmas costume needs a new extra ruffle. However with this I can also make more dresses from those 25 cent clearance yards! Onward #sewsky! πͺπ»π§΅π€

My goth girl self in orange and black with cat jewelry for my niece's Hello Kitty birthday party here on the farm with my mom total Italian nonna in the rocking chair. Somehow, we are all wearing black pants because that is always a sound fashion choice and everyone compliments my orange sunglasses.
My #autumn #goth attempt to blend in at my niece's Hello Kitty birthday party this weekend with amber cat paw print earrings & a marcasite twin cat brooch on my belt tie. πΈ
