Sewed, glued and tattooed.

My sister is one of my first official #outfluencer customers (Get it? Get it? #outfluencister). She made no demands, apart from including green colour and the sign across the dress. I think I nailed it, as well as she nailed perfect outfluencer pose.   She's all #out.

Deprasaur & social anxiety.

Upgrade. I love every inch of this tee. I loved making it. I love how it turned out. (Get it? Get it? Turned out? It can be worn both ways.)  Inside out. Can't get outfluencier than this.

What is an #outfluencer? That's probably the first question that pops to mind when seeing the title of this post. I could make this post long and annoying with explanations on how I feel about the flood of influencers brainwashing us into thinking we're not interesting, pretty or good enough to lead the amazing lives they seem to live. What I have realised troughout the years of following and admiring some of them is, that their lives may not be as perfect as they seem. So I don't want in. I want over. I want beyond. I want above. I want out. Thus the #outfluencer was born. Over and #out.

The beginning.

My latest sewing achievement is reuse of an old T-shirt's design. Totally bragging with the end result first. One of my favourite people on this planet was kind enough to provide me with money I needed to start my sewing practice, so in return I promised to surprise him with some of my first masterpieces. I needed a pattern to begin with and because our sewing store is superlame considering pattern supply, he provided an old tee for me to unthread and use as pattern. There was only one condition- to preserve and reuse the tee's design. Here's how the original tee looked like, but was in a considerably worse state. I borrowed the image of  Threadless  original site. It took some cutting, fabric gluing and hours of very thorough stitching to get to the final result. Very proud of the outcome. (Don't say a prayer for me now.) Save it til the morning after.

I am completely and absolutely in love with enamel pins. AliExpress being my main provider.  This one is perfect to begin 2019 with. Wash it off. Wash it ALL OFF.

One of my goals in 2019 is to start my own clothing brand. Y'all be like: "Whoa, girl, you don't just go squandering your dreams around!" But there it is, Google. Now you know. I have started with T-shirts and am working on a low quality hoodie right now (bacause still practicing). I want to create a colourful, wild brand, where I intend to combine my love for colours and patterns with my chosen career- I am a social worker with a degree in mental health and am working in this field for almost ten years now. So the motto here is: the crazier the better. But also keeping it stylish. My sister ordered a three T-shirt pack for her boys. Happy wearers. Supposably too gayish  Star Trek  T-shirt (according to my friend). A male, yes. And this is my (an entire salary worth) baby. Mmmmmmm. Ready for more?

Happy new year, people.
