Excellent outfits, BlackButterfly!

And yes, sewing machines make sewing SO much easier. I complete in two hours what would usually take me a week of finger-pricking labour, all thanks to my precious 40-year-old machine.

Besides sewing, I also used to do a lot of t-shirt painting using hand-cut stencils.

Here are some examples:

Most of them look a bit stretched out and worn, especially the Rozz Williams one which I fear may soon have to retire.

I sort of gave up on stencilling once I realised how masochistic it was trying to cut out 4mm eyes using a stanley knife, and I won't even start on Robert Smith's hair...
