Mr. Spock DIY!

Nerding out tonight... making a giant fabric patch to sew on a Katastrophic Dream T.  Found a pic I liked of Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock, used a photo editor to get a good black and white version that I was happy with (which took some finagling), traced it on fabric, and used fabric paint to fill it in!  I messed up a bit on the mouth and I'm afraid the inky midnight blue paint will bleed all over while it's drying, but for a first try I am pretty excited about it.  

And now to go watch some more Star Trek season 1...

Katastrophic's 6 Item Challenge!


Announcing Katastrophic's 6 ITEM CHALLENGE! Each person who successfully participates will win a Limited First Edition hand dyed Katastrophic Dream T!

The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness on our culture's dependence on Fast Fashion, over consumption, and an over abundance of cheap, trendy clothing rather than well made, beautifully crafted pieces that you can wear often and for a long time.

"The average American purchases nearly 70 pieces of new clothing per year. This equates to new 20 billion garments bought in the US. A mere 2% of this apparel is made in the USA." (https://sixitemschallenge.everydayhero.com/uk/made-in-usa-challenge)
