Join me in seeing the process of how to make this GIANT HAT!
I need a
broad brimmed hat to keep the sun off in the summer, and this dark brown
felt hat certainly does the job!
You can style a broad hat like this many ways, adding flowers, greebles,
and it certainly gives some Cad Bane vibes (Star wars for you
cosplayers out there)
I know this is a fast one, but it gives you a peek into the process.
I'm here to bring you this sewing mini series, loosely based on the Fallout video game franchise, in a two part series of
making, and drafting my own cosplay based on the Fallout series of
games, but more inspired in the styles of a Siren Suit from the 1940s.
So, Grab your Nuka Cola, and come with me on this sewing and pattern
drafting adventure!
In this video there are a few sewing tips, including some info for first
time serger users.

This is the reveal of the final length of time it took me to
complete the Walkaway Dress Time Challenge, as well as discussing what
is Fast Fashion, and defining Slow Fashion, with the help of Denizens of
the Internet.
Also included is a Bias Tape Tutorial, so you can make some at home, for
when you need bias tape for your next project
Thank you to Stephanie Canada at Backroom Finds for issuing the Walkaway Dress Challenge!
Also thank you to Stitch, Mari, and Jasper's Grimoire as well as anyone else who shared their thoughts on defining what they feel Slow Fashion is all about!
Just a tool tip for those of you out there who are just learning, but have spools of thread that are WAY too big for your machine.
What you need is a Thread Stand!

It's the Tide Pod Generation at it again, with false claims of health benefits, by eating...soap!
I would like to specify first and foremost, I am not a doctor...but I also am not in the habit of eating soap, or soap products either.
Warning labels are there for a very specific reason...so you all don't poison yourselves.
I'm sorry to have to put this out there, but it's important that people don't consume Borax.
There is no conspiracy. It has been deemed unsafe for human consumption. It's a soap additive and pesticide.
A pesticide to kill bugs! That's right, if you eat it, you are eating bug poison.
I go through this video as to the reasons why, lethal limits, as well as safer alternatives.
Eating Borax is the new Tide Pod challenge...in other words, don't do it, cause it's dangerous and stupid.
For anyone who claims it's a conspiracy, I base my information on scientific fact from more than one source, and not just from government agencies, but from independent studies and university studies, and well researched medical documentation.
Poisonous levels:
Children: 5 to 6 grams (half a teaspoon)
Adults: 10 to 25 grams
Symptoms:
rashes
vomiting
nausea
irritation
respiratory
problems
impaired male sex
drive
infertility
organ damage
unconsciousness
depression
diarrhea
renal failure (kidney failure)
death
Safe Sources of Boron (if you need to have some in your diet as per your doctor or dietician):
News reel from CTV news (Canadian News Broadcasting company - As a note, the Criminal Code of
Canada - section 181 - Spreading false news. It is an offence to
knowingly publish false information that causes harm to public interest,
with a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison.)
Youtube Shorts on the dangers of Boric Acid
News clip from 11Alive - Based in Georgia (state), about dangers of Borax consumption
Another video with a registered dietician, advising against eating Borax, posted as of August 11 2023
Editorial with a doctor, and from the Poison Control center, advising not to eat Borax:
At the end of the day, the smart thing to do is to consult a medical doctor with a PHD, not some random nutritionist influencer on the internet.
