Added a needle positioner. Now the needle always stops down, for easier and more accurate turns. A quick heel press on the pedel lifts the needle up. #MYOG #sewists #backpacking #ultralight

Random question for #sewists out there. I see a lot of outdoor-wear jackets (rain jackets, wind jackets, etc.) which talk about having "taped seams", and I am curious what the technical name for the tape used for seam sealing is?

❌ couture ✅ curtains
this is my 24-hr outfit challenge for yesterday's concert. it's made of deadstock fabric on clearance at $1.37/yard. I didn't have time to clean it up, some top stitches to be redone but I was already able to wear it out so that's a win.

second photo is the basque burnt cheesecake and spanish latte at wiltlover with my SB19 x francis libiran merch (neckerchief). FL is a fantastic local designer of modern filipiniana.

Cut out the toile for #carosweddingjumpsuit from an old cotton bedsheet. I cut by projecting a PDF or vector image onto a cutting mat. It's a revelation: no more messing around with bits of paper! I edit in Inkscape or Affinity when I need to make alterations. #sewing #sewists

Hi sewing pattern designers? Please, please, please, LAYER YOUR PDFs. One size per layer. I've spent a whole evening manually deleting curves so that I can project one size of this thing instead of six sizes at once.
Btw, I think I'll blog #carosweddingjumpsuit process here. After meeting @amy and @cwebber I'm inspired to find more FOSS/crafting overlap! Where are my fellow #sewists?

CW: Fedi meta- pol - liberal & business
Maybe I should work at getting back on my art account --- to at least cheer on JoAnn's implosion???
But then again I really think this is an issue of whiney shitlibs....not really about art at all.
JoAnn's fabric & Craft store decades ago had an excellent selection of mid to high end fabrics, great tools for sewing, button making, stamping....even some handmade papers, beyond other crafts, all at good prices, with great customer service, now though it's main competition for quality & variety of fabric & craft supplies is Walmart- secondarily it's Hobby Lobby & AC Moore --- with Michaels taking AC Moore's place sometimes.. and the thing is --- they're the most expensive of them all ...and it's not even a close call.
*A business can't survive long-term by being amongst the worst in quality & the worst in prices at the same time when it has serious competition & it doesn't matter how good the store once was.
.....I understand & agree that at least openly they're not been as evil to their employees as Walmart & Hobby Lobby have been --- but that's not enough to contradict their business problems.
There are independent in person stores that are far better than they are now in quality & price - so #sewists aren't in any trouble over their downfall!

JoAnn's closing virtually all stores by April will be a problem for sewists. The other 2 big craft chains don't stock much fabric; local quilt shops generally don't stock knits, rayon, denim, gauze and other clothes-making staples. And as far as I know, JoAnn's is THE major outlet for the big pattern companies - I suspect this will be close to a death blow for Simplicity/McCalls/Butterick/Vogue. So now would be a good time for #sewists to stock up on copies of your staple #SewingPatterns.

In personal news, I'm buying a condo! So today I got more plastic containers from Ikea but if any other #sewists have tips on actually organizing my new craft room/home office, I'm all ears. I should probably plan ahead. Maybe shelves?
When I moved into my rental, the little closet was enough storage. Moving out... lol.
