This was originally posted on my new blog, but I felt it was important to share it here as well. It is very rare that I have put a trigger warning on a post, but considering the subject matter, I think it would be appropriate in this case. So if you are triggered by discussions … Continue reading Thoughts on the importance of Instagram banning graphic images of self harm and why a much larger discussion needs to happen
Movin’ Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJtL8vWNZ4o Don't mind me, I'm just chilling over here at incurablykitsch.home.blog being super geeky as usual! Why is the blog moving? Well, honestly, for mostly very boring and practical reasons: I used up just about all the space here and blogging about sewing and fashion and all of that jazz without photos would be quite … Continue reading Movin’ Out
Looking Back, Looking Forward
2018 was such a wild year, and as I look back on it, I can't help but feel really positive and proud. There were so many things that happened that could have completely broken me, but they didn't. There is no doubt that leaving my husband and all of the drama that followed (including him … Continue reading Looking Back, Looking Forward
Padam Vintage Review
I recently bought two fabulous vintage dresses from Padam Vintage, and thought I would write a little review of both the dresses and the shop itself! My dresses arrived quickly, safely packaged in a box, with the dresses carefully wrapped in paper and an adorable gift from Granny's Dishcloths! The dresses were exactly as described … Continue reading Padam Vintage Review

Spotlight: Scarlett Willow Shop
Recently I've been completely obsessed with Scarlett Willow Shop, a vintage clothing store I found on Etsy that specializes in clothing from the 1960's and 70's. As you may know if you've read my blog over the last few months, I've been particularly into fashions from the 1970's and have mostly been making myself clothes … Continue reading Spotlight: Scarlett Willow Shop
Simplicity’s Early Spring 2019 Pattern Release: WTF is with all the aprons?!
Do I have better things to do than go on a rant about the Early Spring pattern release from Simplicity? Of course I do, but is that gonna stop me? Nope. Because I just looked through the entire collection and counted eight apron patterns. Yes. You read that correctly. Eight. Apron. Patterns. WTF? Why?! There … Continue reading Simplicity’s Early Spring 2019 Pattern Release: WTF is with all the aprons?!
In The Pink Room Mini Review
Awhile back I bought two Ohhh Lulu sewing patterns so I could make myself some lovely vintage inspired undergarments. I was so excited the day I bought the first one, Sarah's high waist Ava panties, that I went straight out and bought supplies at Fabricland, printed the pattern, prepped the pattern and fabric and got … Continue reading In The Pink Room Mini Review
Making Little Women, Part 4: Progress
Wow, it feels like forever since I last posted! There's been a lot going on, including a medical scare that temporarily put a halt to all my glorious doll making plans for a week or so (luckily the medical stuff ended up being nothing as scary as the doctor originally thought, but will involve ongoing … Continue reading Making Little Women, Part 4: Progress
Making Little Women, Part 3: Mistakes Happen
The saga of the Little Women dolls continues! Since completing the mock up of the Beth March doll (which I posted about here and here) I decided to dive in and try making Jo, since I'm pretty sure every single one of my sisters would prefer a Jo doll. Yesterday I finished sewing and stuffing … Continue reading Making Little Women, Part 3: Mistakes Happen
