For sharing your personal sewing, crafts, costuming, corsetry and more, in relation to the Gothic Side of Life.

Please, no commercial postings of any kind! If you're showing off your sewing, costume design, or craftyness that's more than welcome, but if you're hoping to make cash off your post in
darkthreads, please don't. If you have auctions you want to advertise, I'd like to direct those of you who are interested in that sort of thing to darkfleamarket, moderated by theonebob.
In Plain English: Do Not Try To Sell ANYTHING Here!
Note: I don't like being a rule-nazi. The reasons auctions and the like aren't allowed is because there were several requests from members who wanted to keepdarkthreads a creative and spam-free community. If you've put up an objectionable or off topic post, I will post a comment to you and then delete it. If you have been warned at least once, the next auction/advertisement post will be deleted without warning and you will be banned.
