Dark Shadows was pretty entertaining. I know it got panned by a lot of people, but I liked it.
Tip jar
When creating a garment out of cotton, remember that it stretches. To maintain the shape you want, choose a pattern that has seams along the shoulders and sides to keep the fabric from sagging.

 I have a donate button on the blog, too, if you’d like to tip me.
