so that the quilting I did would stand in relief a little more. I also did some quilting on the gusset bc I didn't realize the d-ring connector would cover so much of it 🤦‍♀️ From there, the rest of the bag was just made to the pattern's instructions! It's a really good pattern!

Bag pattern: Catalina Crossbody Sling, by Oro Rosa Patterns

Original artwork from NIN's 2007 album Year Zero, by @rob-sheridan.com

I used a Silhouette Cameo to cut the "Art Is Resistance" insignia and lettering, then glued the red glitter panel underneath, used Pellon Flex foam as a stabilizer

Has there ever been an admin who combined stupidity and fascism so effectively as this one does? Like every time they come out with something stupid and outrageous, I immediately assume it's a misdirect. But having the stupid thing also BE the fascist thing—that's kind of a new one for them.

You're welcome! I know the overall dimensions for front & back that I used were 18" W x 16" H, and I did a 2.5" square on the corners for a boxed bottom. 1/2" seam allowance.

That is just one I made up as I went, sorry. The front is pretty similar to the Montana tote from Sotak Patterns, but I didn't do the zippered top and I think my dimensions were a little different. I was just kind of throwing something simple together just to learn the new machine!

I started with quilting, too! I've made a few patterns from both of those designers and they are very well-written. I love LindsHandmade patterns also. They are a little more involved but also very well-written and with very clear instructions!

Oh, absolutely. I expect it from quilters, since that community is rife with Mormon/Fundie creators (side-eyeing you HARD, MSQC) but the silence from bagmakers took me a little by surprise. People don't understand that it's not just politics. It affects all aspects of life.

Thanks so much! I can't take much credit LOL all I did was quilt following the design on the fabric 😂 I'm pleased to meet you!

Thank you!

Ah, thank you for that info! I'll have to check out their supplies store. I've looked at a few of their patterns and have been thinking about trying the Lomexa or Momexa for awhile now. It is a gorgeous print! And a gorgeous bag. Great call on the green canvas and yellow webbing. ❤️

That Oxbow is gorgeous! Is the green fabric waxed canvas? And can I ask what designer or line the print is from?

I am with that. So I ordered my expensive sewing machine today, and every stitch I sew on it will be a celebration of me turning out okay, and having the audacity to be my own person with my own interests outside of church, husband, children.

or "feminine" interests. Writing. Art. Sewing. If I wanted to have a conversation with him, I had to talk about HIS interests; NASCAR, WWII, the JFK assassination. I have been low-contact with him for a few years now for many reasons and the longer I go without speaking to him, the more fine

bagmaking a little and could barely get two sentences out before the convo was redirected to my stepsister's kids, her husband's business, their church, his racecar club, etc. And I realized that this is how it always was. He never had any interest in any of my hobbies because they were "soft"
