I just found out about freesewing.org and made myself some comfy trousers!

They offer a bunch of customisable free sewing designs, including instructions. Once you make an account and enter in you measurements, you can download any of their designs altered to fit your shape.

Which is hugely helpful for me, because I have unusual proportions that don't fit standard sewing patterns, and am not up to altering them myself.

I'll put the rest of the details under the cut but before that, if anyone in Perth has recs for good cheapish fabric places that deliver I'd love to hear about them!

So! I've been vaguely poking at a broader range of gender presentations.

I was recced Saint Harridan and a few other places, and they are all fantastic at what they do, and gave me food for thought. But I've realised one problem with all the "masculine and androgenous presentation for afab people" discussions and shops etc I've seen is that they're too tasteful. All understated and unobtrusive and sensible. Fine for the people who like that! But not for me. I already often wear unisex/masculine clothes when I want to dress in a sensible, unobtrusive way. And if I'm going to get fancy I want something more flamboyant.
