We made it to Tokyo 🍙 dream trip for me. Already can’t wait to come back.
A white man is standing on a small stone bridge peering down into a pond. Around him there are beautiful plants and trees, and some tall buildings in the background.

POV I’m sitting on your chest
POV - you are lying on the floor, and a little 10 lb senior chiweenie with a long ass neck and tiny head is sitting on your chest. You get a good look at his adorable mouth as he looks straight ahead. He had a squishy double chin

Leaving in 1 hr for a girlfriend’s bday weekend trip? Definitely repair your bedsheet and sew matching silk scrunchies for you and the bday girl up until your carpool arrives
An off white linen fitted sheet has worn thin and has some holes in it. The sheet has been repaired with a square of mint colored linen. A white woman with strawberry blonde curly hair is holding her arm up across her face and there are two mint colored scrunchies on her wrist. You can see her eyes.

Me? I’m an adorable sweetie baby man #dogsofbluesky #seniordogsofbluesky
Close up shot of a very very cute senior chiweenie from chest up. He’s lying on his back facing the camera and his front paws are folded down so you can see the tops of his paws. He has an adorable expression, his fur is graying around his eyes and muzzle. His eyes are big wet black orbs. One ear is crunched into the white blanket he’s lying on, the other ear is straight up and alert.

Oh my god my patchwork jeans are done and I adore them ! I reworked the back waist tab - removed the belt loop, used the correct slide adjuster buckle, made it cinch in a lil more. It feels so nice. Find joy where you can even if it’s a silly outfit plz #sewsky #adamspant #pineraglan
A white woman with strawberry blonde hair is standing on a patio with some foliage in the background. She’s wearing pink rimmed sunglasses, a bright tomato red raglan sweater and patchwork jeans made of different colors of denim and brown boots. Her hands are in her pockets. Sewing deets - I changed front pocket to an angled patch pocket. I lengthened the pants a few inches so they aren’t as cropped as drafted. Same details as before except the woman has turned around and you can see the back of her pants. Featuring a cool waist adjuster on the center back of her pants. Another shot of the woman from behind but this is a full body shot. She has a white and black cartoon dog clip holding her hair up. A side view of the woman looking over her shoulder at the camera. She’s smiling

Two recent makes - monsters outside Buffy tee refashion using the #pineraglan and hemp cotton rib knit for sleeves, elastic waist hack #coetrouser in linen rayon houndstooth! Deets in alt tag #sewsky
A white woman with strawberry blonde curly hair and pink rimmed round sunglasses is standing outside. She’s got her left foot up on the ledge of a planter built into the side of a wall. The wall is light mint green with a window looking inside. There is foliage in the planter. Her outfit is fully handmade: a refashioned light purple Buffy the slayer T-shirt with light pink raglan sleeves. Her pants are green and black houndstooth, and her shoes are light brown boots. Everything is the same as before, except the woman is turned around. This picture is side profile and closer up from her chest to knees showing details of the garments. Pants details for fellow sewists: I used daughter Judy’s elastic waist hack for the coe trouser found in her substack. It worked beautifully! I shortened leg length 2”. Another closer up shot. She’s square to the camera and you can see from her mouth to her knees. Main focal point is her tee shirt. Sewist details: I used the paradise patterns pine raglan sweatshirt pattern to alter a tshirt I bought from monsters outside. I don’t like the way premade tshirts fit usually and I hate not being unique (lol) so I’ve gotten into modifying! To hack the sleeves I measured the sleeve length of a tshirt I like and just put a straight line across the sleeve pattern piece. Especially in the hemp cotton rib knit it makes the sleeves wing out but it’s kinda fun and amazing for airflow. Sweaty sewist problems! The neckband was delicately removed from the original tshirt and reused.

Tried out the bespoke educator’s yt tutorial on side adjusters. I put it center back, and testing to see if it solves my perpetually sagging pants problem. I may adjust or revise. I don’t find belts comfy or wear them often. It was fun to make! #sewsky

First jeans rivets installation ever! They are a lil crunched up, probably user error or just inevitable? I hammered them on a cast iron bread pan since I don’t have a rivet installing machine or a rivet anvil. It adds to the wacky charm! No need to seek perfection. #sewsky
A close up shot of the back pocket on a pair of multicolored jeans. There’s light and dark denims patchworked together with white stitching and two rivets installed kinda wonkily on the top corners of the pocket.

What’s up I’m sleepy #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie #seniorchiweenie
A very cute senior chiweenie is cuddled up in cream colored blankets. He’s making a cute expression that seems to say “what’s up I’m sleepy”. One ear is alert and the other is down.

Quick win while I wait for hardware for my patchwork jeans from pacific trimmings - the new paradise patterns cropped #pineraglan in a beloved merino rib knit remnant. The beauty of projector sewing and digital adjustments: I had this pattern modified + cut out within 2hr of purchase.

Sunny winter day outfit standing next to my baby mango tree #honeygirltee #coetrousers #sewsky I’m new to pointelle and it’s not relaxing as much as I thought it would! I’m gonna make the darted version cuz my girls need more room.

When #sewsky and #gymsky collide. I definitely was born to squat, and nothing else. I love lifting! I only wear my #mdcnikkishorts, they rock. Thank god for the serger stitch, my zig zag stitch on the gusset keeps popping 😅

Look at these sweeties! Guest starring my friends pups - Willie on the left, and Gladys on the right. Two cutie pies!! #dogsofbluesky
There are two dogs sitting politely on the ground. The one on the left is white with floppy ears like a yellow lab, and has white fur like a terrier. His name is Willie! The dog on the right is a border collie, black and white fur, and her name is Gladys! They both have super cute expressions on their faces.

Made my first #honeygirltee but by golly the fabric doesn’t have enough stretch and I could BARELY get it over my head and it was toight AF 🥲 we stay making mistakes! I hope I have a smaller friend who will enjoy it. It’s so darling. Immediately cutting one out in the approved pointelle #sewsky

Been sick all week which sucked, I miss my extracurriculars and friends. But I enjoyed having these patchwork #adamspants to work on when I had energy. I took them in a bit and changed the back pockets. Basted the waistband on for sewing club feedback on Sunday! I cropped out my feet 😂 #sewsky
A white person is taking a selfie in a mirror with the phone covering their face. They are wearing a gray little tshirt and a pair of patchwork jeans in varying colors of denim. One of the legs is cuffed. A pair of patchwork jeans of varying colors of denim are laying on a royal blue cutting mat with a yellow grid on it. The jeans have no waistband.

Started “You Like It Darker” by @stephenking.bsky.social last night, got through the first story. I dig it, nothing has been grabbing me lately so I’m happy! #booksky
The book cover for “you like it darker” by Stephen king. The background is of a sunset over a body of water and a crocodile (alligator? Idk the difference) peeking out with two palm trees on its head. It’s meant to look like an island from far away.

Ear to skull ratio off the charts
A senior chiweenie is resting his head on a forest green blanket. His ears are perked up and are as big as his little skull. You can only see his long neck and head. He’s cute.

#sewsky #adamspants a little big, will take in some on side seams. Second guessing back pockets bcuz flaps aren’t stiff enuff to stay down, and don’t love the big cuff look on the hem. May revert to original Adams back pockets. Going to consult sewing club on adding adjustable waist tabs.
A white person with long curly hair is wearing a black sweatshirt and a pair of denim patchwork jeans they made. They are taking a picture in a mirror and their phone is covering their face. Picture over a white persons shoulder as they look in the mirror, trying to take a photo of the back of their handmade patchwork jeans.

Timeline cleanse from my prissy little dog. I wish things were better in the world. And I think I have the flu. #seniorchiweenie #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie
A senior chiweenie is laying on his back with his front legs daintily bent. His head is slightly cocked to the side and his eyes are saying “why you stop petting me?”

Patchwork jeans progress! #adamspants Do other projector sewists also say a prayer to the sewing gods when cutting out their projects 😅 in my small space I use an ultra short throw projector and it’s not perfect by any means but I like how it speeds things up. #sewsky
A pant pattern is being projected on patchwork denim. There are metal washers holding the fabric down. There are sewing tools in frame like thread, rotary cutter, and a chalk pen. Patchwork denim with white topstitching
