🌙 Welcome to That Lit Witch — A Fantastical Haven for Dreamers, Makers, and Magic-Stitchers ✨
Greetings, fellow spell-weaver! I’m Tiffany—also known in some enchanted circles as That Lit Witch, or my by my stage name, Kipani—a fantasy fashion designer, lifelong literature lover, and self-taught seamstress with a flair for corsets, historical silhouettes, and designs that look like they stepped right out of a romantasy novel.
After years spent teaching graduate-level creative writing and world literature, I traded academia for artistry and never looked back. Since 2020, I’ve been sharing my journey—crafting otherworldly gowns, whimsical costumes, and storytelling through fabric, form, and detail. My work is inspired by everything from fae courts and mythic forests to dark romance book heroines and the whispered elegance of forgotten queens.
This Substack publication is more than a newsletter—it's my enchanted atelier, open to creatives, curious crafters, and fantasy-loving hobbits, witches, fae, and mortals alike.
Whether you're an experienced maker, a hobbyist dabbling in needlework, or simply someone who delights in the magic of slow fashion and fantastical aesthetics, this space was conjured for you.
Here’s what you can expect inside this living grimoire:
🪡 Behind-the-scenes spellwork from my studio—sneak peeks, in-progress shots, and design secrets
📖 Articles, musings, and tutorials that weave together fashion history, literary inspiration, and fantasy lore
🧵 Patterns and project guides—perfect for both beginner witches and advanced stitch sorcerers
🧚♀️ Tips and tricks for working with specialty fabrics, corsetry, trims, and transforming visions into wearable art
🎥 Video tutorials and crafting rituals that invite you to learn at your own pace
🛍️ Shop updates and early access to limited gown commissions or exclusive sales
This is a gathering place for those who find inspiration in moss-covered bookshelves, velvet-lined capes, moonstone corsets, and the stories told by hand-stitched seams. I believe that sewing is both a skill and a spell—a sacred kind of storytelling that links past to present, and fantasy to flesh.
New here?
As a Free subscriber, you’ll receive a selection of new posts, insider studio updates, and creative resources directly to your inbox—no summoning circle required.
Want more magic?
For those who wish to go deeper, paid subscribers will have access to extended tutorials, exclusive downloadable patterns, private studio walkthroughs, and early access to gown commissions.
But … what if you could get a free paid subscription?
As a believer that all who seek to create should be granted the tools to do so, I try my best to share as much as I can publicly. From tutorials to tips and materials lists, my triumphs and my fails, I pour my heart into my passions. However, I reserve the more personal stuff, works in progress, deeper dives, and development of a closer-knit community for my Inner Circle… these are the patrons of the arts, the supporters of the craft, and the real reason I’m able to continue creating content and art at all. These are the rebellious souls who shy away from the mundane and seek to see more, learn more, or support my larger projects.
What’s the Inner Circle?
Think of the Inner Circle as a companion to this publication.
It houses my growing library of video tutorials, behind-the-scenes content, and breakdowns. It boasts a private members-only feed where I share regular updates on works in progress, commissions, personal tidbits, photoshoots, recent articles, updates on Substack, and create a more enriching community. It’s also home to my shop of one-of-a-kind wearable art with members-only discounts, announcements on commission openings, a monthly members-only LIVE event schedule, members-only items, giveaways, and more.
There are two ways to be granted a key to the Inner Circle:
As a Yearly Subscriber to That Lit Witch on Substack, you get a FREE paid membership to the Scribe Quadrent Tier in the Inner Circle.
OR
As a Yearly Subscriber in the Inner Circle to either the Scribe Quadrent, Rider Quadrent, or Rebellion’s Patron Tier, you get a FREE paid membership to any one of my three Substack publications (That Lit Witch, Tiffany’s Secret Diary, or Artist Edge Magazine).
✨ Curious about my more personal (and occasionally spicy) musings?
Step into my sister publication, Ink & Lavender: Tiffany’s Secret Diary, where I share reflections on life, content creation, sensual embodiment, creativity, and the deeper magic that fuels everything I do.
✨ Looking for deeper conversations around intimacy, identity, and desire?
Step into Artistic Edge Magazine, my dedicated space for exploring the rich, complex world of sexology, alternative relationships, and kink psychology. This publication houses my personal research, insights, and essays on everything from consensual non-monogamy to power exchange dynamics—presented in a thoughtful, down-to-earth tone that invites curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking.
If That Lit Witch is where I weave fantasy into fabric, and Ink & Lavender is where I share my personal musings and sensual self-expression, then Artistic Edge is where I step into the role of educator and researcher—working to destigmatize the nuanced world of alternative sexuality and relationships.
Because understanding pleasure, connection, and choice shouldn’t require a decoder ring—just an open mind.
Thank you for joining this enchanted journey. May you always craft with heart, dream with wild abandon, and sew as if you're conjuring the next queen of the fae.
🕯️ With needles threaded and candles lit,
Tiffany, That Lit Witch
