Postcrasternation

So here's a quick side thing to tide myself over from stressing about how I never post on this blog, partially because I'm working on a mermaid tail rather than any dresses... but soon. So Soon. In the meantime let's talk entertainment while craftin'.

For me, things to watch/listen to while sewing should be things I've already seen before. They should be fairly lighthearted and have stupidly easy plots to follow. If they have to do with the period I'm re-creating or the subject matter I'm working on. (Ex. watching every Beauty and the Beast movie while working on a dress from Beauty and the Beast.) It also helps if they just have a SHIT TON of costumes that are beautiful and elaborate.

A quick list of things I watch when I'm sewing/working on things:

• "Suited for Success" (don't judge, it's an episode of My Little Pony)- It's about dressmaking and Rarity and I have the same penchant for freaking out like crazy after we take on huge projects for no particular reason. - Also it has a song
• Regency House Party- The entire fucking season- An old "dating" show where 12 people live in a manor as if it's the Regency Era (think Jane Austen novels) it's delightful and the whole series is on YouTube
• Aquamarine- Mostly because right now I've been working on a mermaid tail and well... mermaids
• H20/Mako Mermaids (same reason as above... come at me bro.) 
• Shakespeare in Love
• Moulin Rouge
• All of whatever tv show I'm marathoning at the moment including How I Met Your Mother, Bob's Burgers, It's Always Sunny or Chuck.

Oh, added bonus: The Frock Flicks podcast is GREAT especially when they're reviewing something TERRIBLY costumed. It's kind of beautiful.
