I’m a bit scared to look at my non-historic costumes. In the last year or so all the PVC I have in the form of tape, left over fabric etc, has turned brittle. On fabric this means splitting. The fabric I was going to make my Pink Diamonds gloves from is the same as my Liara Shadowbroker outfit. So I think that’s now a sticky mess like the left over fabric. It’s been gut wrenching to just be in this this position of some of my best work disintegrating. And it’s a rolling thing. It’s why I’m not working on my ToTo costume with all the piping. I know it’s going to do the same thing eventually.

What’s making this harder is how much harder every day tasks are with an ever decreasing set of tools to help.

What I really need is time.
