Crafting with Casca

Hi, I'm Casca (she/her) and welcome to my little sewing nook. I'm from the UK and I enjoy late Victorian and Edwardian fashion as well as 1940/50s. I'm a goth, a nerd, autistic, disabled, lgbt and believe there's no such thing as too many tattoos.

Hi everyone!

I'm sure you will be shocked to your very core to hear that yet again, I have been ill. Luckily scans have shown that it's nothing really bad, we just don't know exactly what it is (haven't been right since I got shingles months ago). I'm chugging along though, managed to make a 1930s dress for a show which I'll try to get some pics of before the run ends. I do also have a project that I really want to make that, if I can get the other half to give me a hand, shouldn't be too energy sapping.

I've been sleeping a lot but when not wrapped up in a duvet on the couch I've been catching up with Drag Race. What's everyone been watching? I could do with more recommendations 🙂

New video should be coming out hopefully Monday or Tuesday. I had planned on having the dress finished today, ready to upload the video for tomorrow but I made the mistake of saying "I think I'll have this finished today" out loud and as well all know, that is the phrase guaranteed to make something go wrong lol.

If you saw my latest video then you know that I broke my favourite dinosaur bag. I can't decide on what colour my new one should be though, these are my options. Any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear!

Hi everyone 😊 I'm hoping to get my video out by the end of the month, things have been kinda hectic recently with some renovation work, theatre stuff and a couple of other things. In the meantime I just wanted to share these adorable little shoes I made for a stuffed toy 😁

Hi everyone 🙂

Next video is delayed a bit coz well, let's just say if you're ordering takeaway double check the ingredients, even if it's something you've had before 😬

Being ill is a good excuse to get stuff done though and I've been able to make more progress on some Edwardian combinations I'm making.

What projects are you working on?

Hi everyone! How has your week been?

I've had a bit of printer nonsense but it's finally decided to behave itself so expect a new video this week 😊

The dolls have arrived! They were both broken so I've swapped the arms around so I have one complete one. I've also got a bunch of heads so I can swap them around for different looks and have a practice one for shading and stuff.

Before I can actually start making clothes for them I need to remove the paint, fix the hair (I definitely want to do an Edwardian one) and sort out their feet to more of a sensible heel.

I'm so looking forward to this! I'm thinking the best way to do things channel wise would be video every other week with one week being smol things and the other human sized stuff 🙂

Image description: A dark brown table with two female Monster High dolls and five doll heads on it. Both dolls have blonde hair with coloured streaks in that's been cut to shoulder length. The doll on the left has pink skin on its body with teal on the lower legs. The arms are mismatched with parts from the second doll. The second doll is light blue with a cyborg leg and black stitch marks on the leg and neck. It is missing the lower portion of each arm. All the heads have had the hair removed and all but one has had the painted on makeup removed.
