Here it is! The first thing I made myself on a sewing machine (that I borrowed from a cousin in high school.)
I was obsessed with this album when it came out… and I still love it!
Up to this point I would hand sew everything I made, which was mostly various period clothing for my dolls (they were so easy to sew for! Plus I needed so little fabric- I would cut swatches from clothing & sheets hanging around the house where I thought it might not be noticeable if a piece was missing. Sorry Mom! ⬅️ She noticed 😂) Then I started finding cool brocade curtains at thrift shops, and I was inspired by Mammy from Gone With The Wind and her curtain & dress making skills. I sewed (by hand) a few historical period pieces for fairs, dress up and (for most of grade school) I would try to recreate Sarah Jessica Parker’s outfit from Hocus Pocus each Halloween. By 8th grade someone finally got it! (Proof my sewing skills were improving, and that I should keep it up! ☺️)
And thanks to @radiohead I am so glad I got to see them twice this past week, such a surprise! (my teenage self would be freaking out! My adult self was-just way more contained) For real tho, they were the first band to make me question the integrity of government (so did RATM) and question things deeper then before. I know Thom York can be hard to understand, every time I got a new album I would read all the lyrics to try and understand it all; the sounds, the message in the words… I even have some books on this 🎼
Now it’s time to get back to sewing and singing my dreams into reality! I hope you all do the same!
Have a great, restorative Sunday!
Peace! ❤️✨💎
