Guess who finally finished the denim witch hat!
It’s a lot rougher than I had originally conceptualized, but there was a point where I realized: because it was imprecisely measured scraps of jeans hand sewn, it would never be neat per se, so I just leaned into that rough patchwork look. Like the Sorting Hat but AMERICAN.
… I kind want to wear all of my denim stuff and make a Jean Witch™ outfit
Progress on the denim witch hat! Unsurprisingly, the use of safety pins and binging podcasts has helped immensely.
Recently got a malong on my travels. I know there are traditional styles of dress with it, but I wanted to incorporate these ancient Greek chitons for fun.
The safety pins alone were a little too flimsy, so a few stitches, a waist belt, and tada!
The fold is long enough I could make it a peplum or even a sort of hood, so that’s some fun variety.
I’ll probably make some tweaks before it’s fully ready to wear… but hooray! I finally did a thing!
I probably went a little too hard on purchases this weekend, but it was fun!
This is the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought (besides a laptop, of course)

(Part of building the world and making it look so dystopic and gritty is junking up props–sometimes, we junk them up too well.)
