Chris 🏳️‍🌈🧵🧝🏼Before I can finish up these shorts, I needed to adjust the foot lift height. The process is straightforward but requires adjusting not one but two screws on the eccentric, accessed through the back of the machine. But worth the effort as Alpha Cherno now glides right over the 3-9-3 jump at the back union of the yokes like it was nothing. <a href="https://woof.group/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

Gwen FisherMy husband requested a circuit board design for this t-shirt, in green, of course. I didn’t have quite enough of the main fabric left to cut out the front and back in whole pieces. There was a big chunk missing at the shoulder. So I asked my husband if circuits ever had a reason for two of them to be joined together, so I could fill in the space, and he said sure. When circuit boards are fabricated, the machines make a whole panel of them at a time and they’re connected together with lines of perforation, called mouse bites, so they can later be snapped apart into separate pieces. So that’s how I filled in the gaps at the corners with scrap fabric to make them look intentional.

Daniel MenjívarIn related news, I hit a milestone today!BMI above 25 is overweight, below 25 is normal, and I’m at 24.7. I went from being obese, to overweight, to as of today, “normal”. (The weight loss started as a result of stress, but then became a goal.)So none of my clothes fit anymore, including all the stuff I made that was in storage. I need to get <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> soon!<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/sewing" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sewing</a>

Mim*Every single piece* I cut out was wrong. Wrong edge on the fold. Forgetting bits needed to be on the fold. Okay, half my own fault - I trace all my patterns to work on, and missed some markings. But even so, that was a whole lot of wrong.The scraps are now in the scrap bucket, because they will be useful for things like covered buttons. I'll go through the bucket and pick out any usefully-sized bits, too. And as I'm making a bustle pad, the actual scrappy scraps will make good stuffing for that.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

draco<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> friends, I'm somewhat incapacitated and watching cozy sewing videos on YouTube is one of the things I can do today, with my limited energy and brain power.I have basically watched Bernadette Banner's channel up and down.Do you have recommendations for costuming/sewing channels? Bonus points for queer creators.

Sini TuuliaI have had a rough morning (mostly a procession of slightly annoying things but just one after the other) so to cope I am making another white linen shirt, because why not another white linen shirt.

Chris 🏳️‍🌈🧵🧝🏼With the waistband and a bit of topstitching left to go on the leather shorts, I’m calling it a day in the <a href="https://woof.group/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> room.

Chris 🏳️‍🌈🧵🧝🏼Moving right along with the leather shorts… the fly zip is in! Also, the zipper foot on my old industrial walking foot machine looks crazy but works the best of all of my machines. <a href="https://woof.group/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

swachterI am not doing good at time management or indeed any approximation of knowing what day it is, but today was the last day to drop off art for the Somerville Open Studios and I managed to get this done just in time. Despite 1) running out of black thread (howwwww) and 2) goofing up the insignia the first time. Still. She looks good.I probably did not need to agonize as much as I did over whether it’s the right shade of teal/blue but who am I even if I can’t overthink things. <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/somervillema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#somervillema</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/StarTrekTNG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarTrekTNG</a>

trashloveAppliqué embroidery on a thrifted T-shirt which I made after punk singer Poly Styrene died in 2011. This was before I even owned a sewing machine so I had to stitch the letters on by hand. I can't remember where the green satin came from but I still have the spool of neon yellow thread. 😂 The T-shirt doesn't exist anymore but I salvaged the embroidery and turned it into a patch. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sewing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/embroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embroidery</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/polystyrene?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polystyrene</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/xrayspex?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xrayspex</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/punk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#punk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/punkfashion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#punkfashion</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handstitched?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handstitched</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/diy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/thrifting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thrifting</a>

BridgeMakes ⚪ taking a breakOk, so, I've cut out all the bodice pieces for the regency gown in the fashion fabric and I am ready to start sewing. I was going to just do it on a machine but a part of me really wants to do it all by hand using period techniques.So what do you think? Machine or by hand?This isn't the only regency gown I'm making this year btw. <a href="https://friendsofdesoto.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

GullekoI have successfully used my new hem marker! I am now banned from using it in the same room as my husband. 😅As long as the weather allows I will probably use it on the balcony to reduce sneezing and floor dust.Anyway, the skirt has been hemmed evenly! <a href="https://kind.social/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a>
