maybe, just this once, change is good

when i am scrolling on vinted (for you it might be depop or some other second hand clothing app) i avoid these labels/ hashtags (y2k, goth, whimsigoth etc) that sellers self label like the plague. reason being that they are usually 70% of the time up charging the garment to sell you an aesthetic rather than a clothing item that for all intents and purposes should be sold at a lower price given that its pre-owned/worn.

the best way to find great authentic pieces is to look up or search for basic pieces like “leather jacket with asymmetrical straps”, “ black lace top”, “frilly blouse” or “black diy bag” etc and to take your time scrolling, and not “goth bag”, “punk boots”, “cottagecore jacket” - this only gets you overcharged pieces or up charged shien or killstar stuff, no good!

the best pieces are often sold by people who do not have any online label or aesthetic to mark it with, they are just genuine pieces that no longer serve the person selling it. ive found beautiful jackets and shoes on vinted sold by older people who have no reason to charge you an extra twenty bucks on something by giving it a label like vintage y2k blingcore

Browncap & blackcap.

We all enjoy these nice rainy spring days. Here's Schwarzy having massive enjoyment.

1) Figured this out.

I love the friends

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Started stitching the Milky Way in. Slowly making progress on it as I am hiding the travelling thread so the back will look nice.

Progress on the constellation quilt has come along quite a lot now. Finished the binding on the quilt over the weekend. I prefer to machine stitch the binding to the front then hand stitch the back side. It gives such a nice finish to the quilt. Took the time to measure it also and it ended up being 72" by 72" (183cm by 183cm).

Behold the stars of the constellations of the northern sky! I love how this quilt has turned out. It was a lot of fun to work on and the effect is so cool in person. Overall I would estimate it took about 90-100 hours to complete. Give or take 10 hours if you want to count the time I spent custom dying the fabric.

I made sure to get a nice photo of it in daylight. For once I also remembered to get a quilt label on it. The back really shows the difference in readability of the quilting on the ice dyed fabric compared to the solid front. Thank you everyone that has followed this. I am glad you all found joy in it.
