We’re at mock-up ver. 4, but I think I’m getting close!

Still working out some of the fit issues, but at this point I’m now expert-level at sewing those bean inserts.

Picked up some new accessories for some upcoming shoots I’m planning.

Every time I make one of these belts, I fall in love with this print all over again. 🖤

The last look from our Fantasy Shoot—my prompt was “The Classic Adventurer” ⚔️

From mountains high and valleys low, oceans wide and caverns deep, adventure calls to you! Do you dare answer?

Quilted vest sample is turning out excellently! Lookit that top-stitching! Still needs some tweaks though.

Not sure what fabric the final will be? This one is made from some leftover cottons from my cosplay days.

This vest sample is my current hyper fixation. Excited to do the top-stitching on the quilted layers.

Thanks! That was exactly the vibe I was going for 😉

Now that’s a goddamn hat. Heck yeah! 🔥😎🔥

Cool hat project is complete!!

…just in time for it to be too warm to wear it. 😭

I’m so happy with the details on this piece.

This is mock-up 3 of my newest shirt design! Those bean details are looking much closer to how I envisioned, & I’ve improved at sewing them too.

Still needs work in the shoulder area—unfortunately Minerva here is not equipped with arms, so I need to find a real human to use for fit testing.

The Wanderer Hood (cotton version) is now officially sold out! Shipped out the last one on Monday.

(I’ve still got wool ones though.)

I would like to move in immediately. 😲

My buckle order has arrived! I’m thinking that middle guy is going to be the right choice for the cool hat project.

TBT!
MW-004 LITTLE WITCH DRESS - A first collection design (retired) & the start of my thumbhole sleeve obsession! I liked the secret pockets at the base of the contrast panels. All dresses should be equipped with pockets.

The Pathfinder Hood - The finished garment looks EXACTLY how I was envisioning it when I started the first design sketch. A rare case where I designed the garment specifically to showcase these rad buckles I acquired!

Mum always said the specific pasta shape name in an Italian accent, so I'm pretty sure my childhood experience was atypical

Alas, no plans for a wizard hat just yet!

As a designer, nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that my clothes speak to people ❤️

Cool sci-fi hat is still in product development stage--most likely will be adding this onto the store in the fall!

That version of those pants sadly never made it into production, so the "nefarious deeds" you would have to do to own them would probably be breaking into my house to steal the sample. 😈 I did eventually redesign them in a stretch material though, which I now make in that good good caramel colour. 😉

TBT!
MW-003 DRUID TUNIC - Still the record holder for the most failed mockups (12) I've ever made in the quest for the perfect hood. Nearly beat by the time I tried to reinvent this same tunic but with a raglan sleeve.

Hat progress! Finishing off the visor today--the bias edge finish turned out beautifully & I am very happy with the topstitching.

You can't see his face in the fitting pic, but know that he had a big smile.

Inventory hell is over! Now the store is restocked & open for Made-to-Order!

...Unless you want to order any pants in black. In which case you're going to have to wait until later this month when I restock my fabric.

The shop is closed for maintenance while I redo the inventory. Re-opening later today for Made-to-Order!

Look at that goddamn swatch book. ✨😲✨ Look at it.

TBT!
MW-002 CASTER VEST - From the first collection, one of the first designs I retired. These pics are from my very first brand shoot I did while visiting my fam ( @alexboakeillo.bsky.social ) in Japan. Look how baby I am. 🥹
