In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION.
Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation.
Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

Unfortunately there is a dirty of good fabric stores in my area, so a lot of the time I make do with thrifted curtains and tablecloths, and the occasional online fabric purchase. But yes, the urge to buy fabric never quite goes away
Me too! Except I buy fabric, and then don't make things. 😅
Learning to sew really does cut down on my urge to buy pretty clothes— I see ads online and my immediate thought is “I could make that, and it’d be more flattering than if I bought it.”
Do I actually make the things? Not often. But that’s beside the point.

Sometimes “maturity” is making a 1930s dress instead of an 1890s dress due to rewearability and time constraints.
We can revisit the 1890s design later.

Hand embroidery is such a slow art, but there is something very satisfying about seeing it come together. #art #embroidery
