Missing out on sharing your Darklands experience with the one person you really want to share it with because your anxious attachment was ruining your mental health so now you're on a break to reset so you can continue the friendship in a hopefully healthier way. #rant

Today is World Aids day, a day where we remember the people who've passed away, too early from aids, we think of the people who were fortunate enough to survive those early days, but had to endure the stigma of the disease and had to endure the early medications and their side effects.

Bags don't just create themselves. Funnily enough the round shape that's now the front of the bag was first the back, with a large front pocket on the front instead. But the shaping I put in the side of the bag made it so that it worked better reversed. Missing a few steps because of image limit

First sketch of the drawstring bag, still showing the name on the flap instead of the body and featuring a zipped front pocket.First toile mock-up of the drawstring bag in cotton. Here I came to realise the big front pocket might not be the best idea ..Second mockup in a grey vinyl, showing the round front panel and some marker lines for adjustments. Also added some darts on the bottom to give the bag a better shapeFinal mockup in grey and black vinyl, with the Bark&Play logo and name printed on paper and taped on for sizing.

What do you do when you've taken a holiday from your office job... Yep, prototyping for a new project with a tight deadline. Head down, ass not up, but behind the sewing machine and let's bust this out! ✌️

Had the privilege to make this MSA Honorary Member patch a reality, with the woven logo patch provided. Workshopped some ideas together to get to this final design, which can now proudly be worn. It was my pleasure to be of service, for such an important, personal piece.

It's been good to sit behind the sewing machine again after a very quiet period of making things. Especially if you can be of service to a friend, helping them and making their idea a reality. Now I'd be more productive if I actually worked this fast. Sewing a custom patch to the back of a vest.

Stitching away on some letters. I'd say one of the best things about my leatherwork journey is making things that people are proud to wear and make them happy. Nothing like the joy and pride of a kinkster feeling themselves in something I made.
