Everytime I wear an all black outfit, I want cheetos. But if I eat cheetos, I won't have an all black outfit anymore.

Apperantly, I'm just full of sewing hot takes, but like include plus size sewists.
Especially if part of your brand's selling point is size inclusivity.
Idk why this is hard.

It's kinda odd seeing sewists/pattern designers/crafters using AI. Usually, the sewing & other crafting communities are quick to call out plagiarism.
But where's that same energy for other creative that are having their work stolen?
Also environmental impact?
I have lots of questions🤔

Finished up my #schfrida skirt from Schultz apparel yesterday, just in time for some nice weather. It's made out of a medium weight black muslin from my stash.

OK, I'm a bit late, but I finished my #olleahblouse by @ora-lin.bsky.social for #MarchThroughYourStash. This pattern was part of a sew 'n show and this linen has been in my stash for ages. It was the perfect combo & I'm stoked with how it turned out.

Just a bit of hand sewing and a whole mess of buttons and I'll be done with my #olleahblouse for the sew&show by @ora-lin.bsky.social. I think this top is going to be a winner for spring and summer weather.

Legitimate question:
Why do indie patterns not include refrence points on patterns like bust apex and crotch line? Big 4 do it and it makes pattern fitting exponentially easier.
Is there a reason idk about?
(Also idk if these are even called reference points)

Made some changes to the overall shape, but so far my #TTpixiehat from @twigandtale.bsky.social is coming along nicely. Tomorrow I'm finally cutting the good fabric and starting the embroidery 😅

I promise this is the last time I'm going to annoy you about this #blptravellercoat. But I finally sucked it up and did the photo shoot.

If you can. When you can. However you can.
Try your best to create.
Not just art. Anything. Gardening, writing, crocheting… lean into your hobbies…
Create **NOT** for the sole purpose of resisting or grifting but because we all need an outlet, a distraction, something else that is anything else.

Do not forget your disabled friends.
Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day.
This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

#sewsky another question for ya'll.
Sergers. Do you have one? Which one? Do you use it often? Do I skip the other options and just save for a baby lock?
Right now I only have a sewing machine & use bias binding or french seams. I'd love some opinions.
