parseltongue snowbirds


here is a ribbon garter i made with a buckle from my dear friend suki.

i had to make little belt buckle holes in the ribbon
and i wasnt sure how to do that without it fraying.
then my friend hannah taught me to use the tip
of a lit incense stick! she is a wing-maker.
this also works with tights. see? ♥

I used incense on wings a while ago, but had not thought about using it on regular tights *runs off to try*

super cute skirt and cute holes.

stephanie dosen said...

thanks! :)
i usually find old slips and then just
shorten them or take a few and sew
the layers together.. if they are plain
lots of times i dye them pale pink
or with tea!

You dye the skirts with tea? Wow. Never in a trillion years would I have thought of such a thing. You should really be designing! xx
