Yeah, I satin-stitched and fray checked for the hem. It was originally sacked with a lining but I didn't take the difference in bias stretch between my lining and my fashion fabric into account so I ended up having to improvise to get it to look less like shit.
Oh well- the con's in less than a week and I don't have the free time or the material to fix it. Maybe for Anime Midwest?

>Mfw I was driving home from my parent's place and one of the thrift shops had a carousel horse in front. I had no space in my car and not enough money for It.

>20 yo student depending financially on parents due to uni
>Job market in both uni city and hometown is shit, getting part time jobs is impossible, used to make some money off crafts/commissions but not anymore
>Get living costs from parents, just enough to pay for rent, food and bills, pay uni myself with money from highly conservative grandparents who wanted me to study only the degree I'm currently studying. Luckily not in debt since uni system is public and not crazy expensive.
>Buy first JSK after saving up money from grandparents, second hand from Closet Child, around 150$ after shipping + customs
>Lie to mother saying it was 100$
>"Oh anon, are we rich now? How are you going around spending money like this? I could do this stuff myself!"
>Seamstress mother, but doesn't know fashion for shit, makes everything from cheap fabric and says maybe 12$/meter fabric is crazy expensive
>Get home the other day, "oh anon we're going to Italy on the 19th so please take care of the house"
>mfw
I really don't know what to do. Every single time I buy anything for myself it seems like I'm wasting my money and being a burden, unless it's makeup or uni-related books.
