  1. Cool well as long as I have the entirety of cycling mastodon looking at me right now, time for some #shamelessSelfPromotion! I make handmade geeky/nerdy bags from my home studio in Somerville MA. Cyclists might be especially interested in my high-visibility stickers: rhymes-with-doctor.myshopify.c

    They're made of retro-reflective material that bounces light directly back to the source - I have them on my helmet and they are SO BRIGHT when car headlights or bicycle lights hit them. US shipping only (unfortunately), stickers ship free.

    rhymes-with-doctor.myshopify.c also has a ton of other tote / messenger / fanny packs / etc for your carrying-stuff convenience.

    If you're local to #boston #cambridgeMA #somervilleMA I'll be selling at the FLUFF FESTIVAL next Saturday, September 19, 1-5p! Come say hi, I love meeting my pocket friends.

  21. Ok but seriously, check this shit out. Rep your town and your favorite sandwich topping at the same time WHILE ALSO BEING HI-VIZ and carrying a ton of stuff. I have six of the Marshmallow Fluff bags and three of the Somerville bags; I'll have more at Fluff Festival in September but you can beat the rush :)

  26. Once everything is quilted, it’s time to cut things out! I traced the pattern pieces onto the quilts and then stitched just inside the marked lines. This has the dual effect of 1) making sure I’m cutting the right lines and 2) helping prevent fraying and making things easier to handle when cut. It also compresses the quilt sandwich at the edge for greater precision.

    Then cut things out and start assembling! I batched up all the independent pieces (eg, sew the hood together, sew the long sleeve seams, sew the shoulder seams) and then had to take a break to hand-finish the seam bindings on all of them. The pattern called for a single fold bound seam which I cleverly (lol no) cut out of the same flannel I used for the lining. This made the seams extra bulky. I stitched the two seam allowances together by machine and trimmed the far one down to about 1/8”, then stitched another line along the near one (again squishing down the quilt sandwich) and trimmed it to 1/4”, then folded the binding edge over the flannel at 1/2” and sewed it down by hand. So the seams wound up being not too bulky but a bit stiff. In hindsight I probably should have sewn the 1/4” allowance and the 1/8” allowance separately, which would have made it more flexible.

  31. One of the things I like to do to insert some randomness into my sewing is to use small tokens or coins to determine placements. In this case I sprinkled sewing clips over the pre-drawn radial lines, made some manual adjustments, and then marked the clip positioning to turn them into stars.

    I then stitched around the edges to minimize fraying and tossed all the pieces in the washer and dryer to shrink and wrinkle. A bit of pressing afterwards flattens them back out but still gives it a homey rumpled look.

    I’m *delighted* by how the thread is looking. Hell yes.

  39. There is another issue - #HiViz isn’t actually that effective (particularly yellow against a green background). It’s classic “we need to do something and this is something” and does nothing about the hierarchy of risk #ActiveTravel

  45. CW: Profanity

    It was a dreary January day. Even my full high visibility gear for work couldn't cheer me up!

    It brings back memories of the #Viz #January #Januaryland fake advert (contains profanity).

    For those who are interested the van is a Volkswagen ID Buzz. It's an EV. Not that you lovely fedi people are like that but yes I spent a number of years considering whether EV's were ready for me as a business and no I don't need to hear the mostly false scaremongering about batteries.

    This vehicle has saved my business about £2000 in just 6 months and that figures in the slightly higher leasing costs.

    Plus it has a sub 8 second 0-60 😈

    Photo taken using my DJI Flip drone. It's like a flying tripod!
