It's Only December 5th

Last Two Hours of 2015

I will post my last art of 2015 soon, be ready for some trash.

I made a relevant comic strip about tracing art after recent discussing this topic in phandom with @philslesters [here], seeing what happened to @pinofs and expressing my own opinion. I mixed all together and converted it in inspirating and motivating [as I hope] little story about two artists.

Also, the story with Nikki has a good end as well, and I know a lot of people trace art to learn. It’s okay! Tracing someone’s art is okay if you use it as a self-taught tactic [kinda still for the beginners, better use references, references are your friends forever] and don’t share it as your own work by changing few details. But if you really do want and love to be an artist, please, don’t trace. Don’t make the mirror out of yourself. Be a prism. Don’t make other people who worked really hard feel sad or angry. Work hard yourself and make other people happy.

Love to all of you, who enjoy drawing as I do.\(* *\)

Also, comic includes @danisnotonfire and @amazingphil, because me and my digital fellows are trying to make a phanart-dom a better place and I think these two outstanding guys would support the idea I put in this story.

Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants

So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there - come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.

I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).

See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.

 So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.

Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.

Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.

Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.

Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.

Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!

Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.
