The clearance sale is over, & now we must dig through the bins to located the ordered items. …But first a nap. 💤 Made-to-Order resumes End of March!

The SALE ends at MIDNIGHT! These items are some of our clearance highlights! Etsy.com/ca/shop/modernwizardapparel

The sale ends at midnight! Lots of cool items left. 😎 Etsy.com/ca/shop/modernwizardapparel

Hey folks! Our annual clearance sale is running until Sunday! Make sure you check out the 🔥hot dealz🔥!! (Still not shipping to the US, sorry!) Etsy.com/ca/shop/modernwizardapparel

The latest jacket design I’ve been working on—this is the V2 mockup. The pocket placement is drawn on while I work on finessing the fit so I don’t have to sew pockets into every version.

A little sneak peek of a new design in progress! Still needs some minor pattern tweaks before I start on the size grade testing, but this is a very promising working sample. I also gotta source a cord for the drawstring…

The last Scout Hat colour sample is complete! Finally timed myself on how long this takes to build, so with that final bit of info I can complete a costing analysis to get these on the store! Huzzah!

Working on a new Mimic Scarf colour option!

Making some last tweaks to the visor pattern for the Scout Hat. Fixing that sad, slouchy band. Version 2.0 looks much improved.

It’s my final day at FANEXPO, make sure to come find me!

Guess what? I’m at FANEXPO this weekend! Come say hi to me.

We’re at mock-up ver. 4, but I think I’m getting close! Still working out some of the fit issues, but at this point I’m now expert-level at sewing those bean inserts.

Picked up some new accessories for some upcoming shoots I’m planning.

Every time I make one of these belts, I fall in love with this print all over again. 🖤

Quilted vest sample is turning out excellently! Lookit that top-stitching! Still needs some tweaks though. Not sure what fabric the final will be? This one is made from some leftover cottons from my cosplay days.

This vest sample is my current hyper fixation. Excited to do the top-stitching on the quilted layers.

Now that’s a goddamn hat. Heck yeah! 🔥😎🔥

Cool hat project is complete!! …just in time for it to be too warm to wear it. 😭 I’m so happy with the details on this piece.

This is mock-up 3 of my newest shirt design! Those bean details are looking much closer to how I envisioned, & I’ve improved at sewing them too. Still needs work in the shoulder area—unfortunately Minerva here is not equipped with arms, so I need to find a real human to use for fit testing.

The Wanderer Hood (cotton version) is now officially sold out! Shipped out the last one on Monday. (I’ve still got wool ones though.) Photos by Aidan Tooth Model Sierra Boake

My buckle order has arrived! I’m thinking that middle guy is going to be the right choice for the cool hat project.

TBT! MW-004 LITTLE WITCH DRESS - A first collection design (retired) & the start of my thumbhole sleeve obsession! I liked the secret pockets at the base of the contrast panels. All dresses should be equipped with pockets. Photos by Mike Kowalek @splatvision.bsky.social Modelled by Sierra Boake

The Pathfinder Hood - The finished garment looks EXACTLY how I was envisioning it when I started the first design sketch. A rare case where I designed the garment specifically to showcase these rad buckles I acquired! Photos by Aidan Tooth Modelled by Diorela Clavel

TBT! MW-003 DRUID TUNIC - Still the record holder for the most failed mockups (12) I've ever made in the quest for the perfect hood. Nearly beat by the time I tried to reinvent this same tunic but with a raglan sleeve. Photos by Lenore Irwin @elementalsight.bsky.social Modelled by Sierra Boake

Hat progress! Finishing off the visor today--the bias edge finish turned out beautifully & I am very happy with the topstitching. You can't see his face in the fitting pic, but know that he had a big smile.

Inventory hell is over! Now the store is restocked & open for Made-to-Order! ...Unless you want to order any pants in black. In which case you're going to have to wait until later this month when I restock my fabric.

The shop is closed for maintenance while I redo the inventory. Re-opening later today for Made-to-Order!

Trim restock from Mokuba arrived today! Which means Elven Obi & Pathfinder Hoods will be available for Made-to-Order with the rest of the shop on Monday! Look at that goddamn swatch book. ✨😲✨ Look at it.

TBT! MW-002 CASTER VEST - From the first collection, one of the first designs I retired. These pics are from my very first brand shoot I did while visiting my fam ( @alexboakeillo.bsky.social ) in Japan. Look how baby I am. 🥹 Photos - Mike Kowalek @splatvision.bsky.social Model - Sierra Boake

Mock-up 1 of the detachable visor! Pretty damn close for a first try. Definitely all those millinery classes paying off. Needs a couple minor tweaks to the size/shape before mock-up 2. Still trying to figure out the buckle situation... looks like I may need to go on a quest.

Current WIP, a gift for my partner. Gotta figure out constructing that detachable visor next... (Design inspo is from Star Wars, colour palette is Halo's Master Chief.)

Reminder! Tomorrow is the last day to order for 2024!
