Or unlife, unlife…
🦇
I am hoping to get some new projects up this year, maybe revisit some of the older ones no longer available here because they are outdated. Taking suggestions on the Discord. https://discord.gg/Bq3zaE3sVd
Legend Sisters offers trinkets and this/that but they also offer goth sewing patterns, notions, and fabrics! This is an interesting site that you might want to visit in your dark DIY questing. I haven’t yet ordered from them but I am eyeing that glow in the dark bat and moon fabric. Also A&L completely aligns with the philosophy on their about page as of this writing. Just wanted to let you all know it exists if you didn’t already.
Found this site thanks to Gothic Charm School.
Still getting props organized and doing maintenance when the ridiculous weather allows. Trying to think of a new project to post at the same time!
Got some new spider web fabric for an ongoing project.
It glows in blacklight!
Not in the dark though, oh well.
Going to be layering this with some black stretch velvet and then layering over some green tulle for the Green Fairy prop… and maybe making a skirt for myself as well. Basically using the circle/pixie project.

Just need to finish editing the project text and I will post!
Check out this video where A&L gets a shout out… which I meant to post ages ago… oops.
The Witch Hat Project is almost done. I just need to do a test run through the instructions, making a hat for a friend, to fine tune. It should be up by the end of the month.
So… that didn’t happen
It’s been a rough decade so far. I am trying to get back on track. I have the Witch Hat project about half done and I hope to be getting to finishing it this month.
Sorry I require so much patience but I was completely derailed working on it last year because I lost my baby boy kitty Kensit and it’s still a struggle going on without him.
Anyway, hope to have to Witch Hat up soon!
2020 was a complete trash fire. I think we can all agree on that.
However…
I will be posting a new project January 2021!
I will also be doing another pass at the links page with new resources for shopping and gathering materials. 2020 has been hard on a lot of small shops so I want to list as many as I can.
Catch you on the flip side!
It’s been a minute since I did an update. I have a really bad year last year and, oh look, it has gotten worse! The good news is I am planning on doing some updatage here very soon.
Most recently I have been making masks for at risk friends and general distribution.
The Instructions I have been using are a modified version of these.
This is actually a great project if you have a lot of cotton broadcloth or quilting fabric. Just make sure to wash the fabric in hot water a few times or even boil it to tighten the weave before starting to sew. Masks need to be able to be rewashed many times to be useful. Also I don’t recommend using elastic as it will not hold up to a lot of hot water washing for the to be re-sanatized.
In any case I hope to get the easy Witch Hat project up soon and am trying to think of some others that might be good to keep one busy while isolating.
STAY HOME AND SAVE HALLOWEEN!

Streamer skirt so easy it doesn’t require sewing not available publicly till August. Featuring Guest Artist PaleValkyrie_art
July Patreon project is in the works. I hope to have it up this weekend exclusive for Patreon subscribers till August. It is a NO SEW skirt project that will yield fabulous results.
The old Net Skirt project has been polished up and re-released.

Jabot & Cuffs Accessories Project has been posted for Patreons. Support Antimony & Lace and get access today.
Released the knotted beads project. I was going to make more changes but I I have decided to split it off into a new more comprehensive beading project for later this year.
Working on some more of the shorter accessories projects through June and will be releasing another new project for Patreons, Jabots and lace cuffs in early June.
In July I will get the old net skirt project back up on the site and the new project for July will be a completely different way to make floofy net skirts, with a bonus. They are different enough to warrant a separate project.
Oh and the Pilgrim Bag project is live for everyone now.
Shopped my fabric stash for what I need this week.
Long Vest project is almost done and should be up tomorrow or Friday. The new project that I will be posting on Patreon first should be done early next week and will be on the regular site in a couple weeks. After the vest I am doing a couple of the accessory projects which should be fast, then the next big one is the tulle skirt.
Going to start redoing the old Long Vest project this week. Also going to start working on the first new project for the site which I will be posting to the Antimony & Lace Patreon a week or two before it makes it to the site.
I have never made money off this site. I have never accepted advertising which has always been important to me especially with the links sections where I do list stores and such. Integrity has always been important to me in maintaining the quality of the information I am providing. I have always paid for the domain and server myself and donated my time to do the best I could with the site. Now I am coming back to doing some work on it every few days, some weeks every day, and I would very much like to be able to offer new content regularly. That means not just time and paying for the server but also buying fabric and a much needed computer upgrade so I can run the graphics programs I need.
I am planning on offering patrons early access to new projects, the ability to suggest what new projects I should tackle and some exclusive content including short videos that I may not post here.
If you appreciate this site and would like to see it continue and even thrive I invite you to become a patron and in return I will spend as much time as I can not only making this site what it once was, but perhaps even surpassing that.
The shirt project should be posted this week, as well as the start of the new links sections.
Next week I am going to do a new project as well as starting on the next update. The new project will go to patreon first, of course.
I just have to test the poet/pirate shirt project and draw the main image and it will be done. I expect to post it this week. I am also going to start working on new projects as I get the old ones updated starting in May.
A&L has a Discord if you want to chat or ask a quick question.
Posted the updated cloak project today. Going to be working on the links pages, the basic terminology page, and then next week will redo the pirate shirt project.
If you want to support the ressurection of this site I now have a kofi.
Working to get the most popular old projects up then I can start working on new projects.
