Why Is Textile Work Not Taught To Engineers?

Made a ~50L pack liner out of 1.0 oz Dyneema to fit both my larger ULA Catalyst backpack and my Osprey Mutant 38 mountaineering backpack.
The design minimizes seams and uses folded darts to create a domed bottom and elevate the bottom seam by about 8 centimeters. Fully seam taped to keep water out.
The roll top uses 4mm foam as a stiffener and 3 snaps to hold the edges together before rolling. A 15mm (5/8") Magic buckle snaps together when closing thanks to small magnets in each half.
The Bio Hazard alerts anyone who dares to open the liner after sweating for several days in the great outdoors.
Total weight: 58gr.

Another piece with some crazy patternmaking! All the fabric is secondhand scraps.

This weekend i finished the first attempt. All in all it went quite well and straight forward, but i made two mistakes.
First, i need to be more careful of my thread tension, the first few seams weren´t that nice, but they work so it is fine.
Second, i did cut the elastic for the leg openings (is that the correct term?) too short. I first calculated with minus 15%, but thought that is too much. Yeah, it wasn´t.

Robyn came into the workroom today so that I could get more practice with the Palmer/Pletsch tissue fitting method. In about 2 hours, we were able to go from a single measurement to a pattern tuned at least as well as a second muslin. This method continues to blow my mind with its effectiveness. #sewing #patternmaking

The backpack pattern thus far in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io). Piece mode shows the 3 pattern pieces: Back, Bottom & Front. The Variables dialog window shows some of the parameters driving the dimensions of the pieces.

A 2nd packpack prototype, this time out of Tyvek. The final version will be made out of Ultra 200X which has no stretch and rather stiff. This prototype out of Tyvek shows how the final pack will "feel".
This version is deeper, taller and wider than the 1st version. I refined the bottom shape, which was relatively easy to do thanks to the parametric design in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io).

First prototype in fabric after drafting a pattern in Seamly2D (https://seamly.io/) based on the initial paper prototype. Made from recycled cotton. This prototype validated the pattern while also identifying several areas of improvement.

Starting to prototype my first backpack. Made the initial prototype out of paper to get a feel for the shape I have in mind. I find it easier to iterate with paper and tape before continuing the design in software and fabric.

Week 4: Wearable Mock-Up
This week i hardly knitted anything but i continued sewing on the mock-up for my jacket. I only make wearable mock-ups from similiar fabric, because i think a toilé from cotton canvas doesn´t reflect the drape or stiffness (depends what you are making) of most fabrics. It is great to draw onto it or to manipulate it, but i prefer the drafting method over the draping method (most of the times).
I made the jacket from bigger leftovers of boiled wool (in german we call it Walk, which is similiar to Loden, but not exactly the same). I hadn´t enough of one colour, so i decided to make the collar, which is a variation of a stand-up collar, dark red and the body and sleeves dark brown. The front of the jacket is asymmetrical and is closed with a zipper. But a button closure is also possible. I hadn´t the perfect zipper, so i used what i had, which was a shorter one than i planned. So i had to add a button for the rounded corner of the collar.
At the moment i´m working on the pockets and tomorrow i will cut out the lining (also some old stuff i had in my stash). What i´m really happy about, is the fact that i had to change only minor things, so i´m quite pleased with the pattern so far.
Here it is without pockets. And this is one of the pockets without its lining.And that´s it for this week. Days go by so fast…
Hope you had a nice past week and have a even nicer one coming.
Thanks for reading, till next time!#craft #crafts #jacket #patternMaking #sewing #SewingPattern

Just finished another pair of pants! The red fabric is leftover from the bridge dress I made and the rest are all reclaimed fabric!
.
I'm getting better at using @kdenlive for video editing. I just hope they can make subtitle styles global because it's such a pain to remake all my styles each time.

I've made a lot of crochet plushies but this is one of my first sewn ones!

Look I just made another dress! I'm super happy how it turned out. And the dress form I made is already useful for displaying things.
I've also been working on improving my video creation setup. My phone camera and mic are very bad so I've been taking videos with a webcam. Then I put the video together with @kdenlive . There's a lot to learn but it mostly works well. The only issue is that working with subtitles is annoying.

After finishing an alteration for myself (a dirndl and a jacket i thrifted) i will write down my current w.i.p's and then the next projects with fabrics and the status of everything. I'm not sure if i will write a blog post about everything or -i'm tempted to- make a video, but that is kind of a whole new endeavour...which i'm not sure about.
But something has to change. I'm kinda stuck, nearly paralyzed sometimes...

Once that was done I pulled out a new-to-me #patternmaking book and drafted a new body block.
I learned patternmaking in the 90s, and I've still got the aldrich books, but in recent years I never had much luck, they don't seem to translate well to plus sizes.
This 'new' book is 'Pattern Drafting for Dressmaking' by Pamela Stringer, a kiwi, no less, and this new block is marvellous. I don't think I've ever had a block just *work* for me before.
If you can get hold of a copy, I recommend it.

Both front and back side panels are now drawn and ready to be cut out. Final piece to cut out is the center front, and then the pattern is complete. When I actually sew one up, I will need to cut some bias tape for the neckline, but that's about it.

Center back dress piece has now been traced and extended 13" from the previous hem following the side seam lines to allow for a longer dress with a new hemline.

Now moving on to the main body pieces. This is the center back of the dress. I generally prefer skirts to be longer than this one, so I will extend the length of the pattern about a foot. This will be about ankle length for me. I will go ahead and mark a cut line where the dress ends on the pattern in case I wish to make a shorter one. Adjusting hems is a very simple process.
