Well hello, whether you’re here for the first time, been a follower since 2021, have dipped in and out, or just fallen in here against your will, hello hello. Remember me? You’re here because you support my maiden channel Isosia1 on twitch, or you’ve brought some of my wares over on Through the Abyss on Etsy. My name is Sia - I make and sew items to bring people joy whilst also being a part time streamer in the making and crafting catergory on twitch.
So where’s Isosia, Through the Abyss (Abyss_Costume) and The Bobbin Crew?
For those of you who don’t know my full job, I work in the film and tv industry, often away for months at a time, occupying trucks in the middle of nowhere and generally making sure people look good on the silver screen; yes there are a few credits to my name, if you ask nicely I’ll tell you where to look. This occupies my time in peak season – from March to around November, depending on the demand. This year has started off fairly well but it resulted in me being absent from Twitch and my maiden channel for a good while.
But…
I have a plan. A comeback, and a resolution.
Where I can stream I aim to bring back some smaller streams as and when with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. When I started twitch, I concentrated on trying to build a full cosplay, this has gone out of the window as I do not have the room or the resources to do so and I am gearing up to move out to a larger studio in a year or two time when I will be able to come back to this.
I have moved to more achievable wares and shall be doing more making and crafting streams from the workshop – mainly turning to my commissions and my own personal projects.
This leads me to the plan.
The plan.
Buy me a coffee has a lovely new feature of commissions! And this is something I shall be trailing. There’s only a few slots available at the moment and please note that each commission has a minimum wait time of six to eight weeks to be completed. At the moment I am just offering my knitting skills in the form of fairaisle style hats – one of which is the dinosaur pattern which is proving popular over on my discord. These are currently only available to UK residents due to shipping, and are on a first come first serve basis.
I have started to do this as whilst I may not be streaming live, I am still crafting some wares and I wanted to make these available as soon as possible.
If you miss out on the slots DO NOT FEAR – I will be doing an etsy drop later in the year and I am also open to craft swaps with other crafty beans. Do get in touch if this is you.
More streams of commissions – mainly CLOAKS!
I’ve always had a love of cloaks and period drama and cloaks is something I love making. I have already had a lot of interest in these and after making my first sale last year of a ‘sample’ cloak, I feel ready to start making some more this year. I already have some commissions in the list, you are welcome to add to this list and I’ll let you know where you stand in the waiting list. I take a 10% upfront payment charge and then I charge based on time and materials. Plus postage depending where you are in the country. All is included in the asking price. There will be some ready made cloak designs up on etsy. They will be released at intervals, look forwards to an Autumnal drop later in the year.
*The commission list for cloaks is currently closed but I will let you know when this reopens later in the year.
Cosplay stream running throughout the year.
I still want to dip my toes into cosplay and this years cosplay is yet to be decided, so keep you eyes and ears peeled.
There will no longer be any Minecraft streams on my channel. I am part of several servers but I want to keep my gaming separate. That’s not to say I wont be participating in other people’s gaming streams or collaborating with others.
Streamwise, there is no committed schedule. I will stream regularly in off-peak season December - March and streams will be considerably lacking in the peak season which runs from March – September. I don’t always know where I’ll be, so I’ll keep the updates to discord as much as possible.
The best way to support me is through my buy me a coffee link and through throne, where I link to my most requested materials. Payment is never necessary but much appreciated in my business. Thank you as ever for all that you bring to the Bobbin Crew.
