Tie one on
So when last we left the skirt, we had a waistband and we had the body of the skirt, and the goal was to join them together. The way I do that is by first trimming the top of the panels to make them nice and even, then running two [...]
Pocketses
So look I'll be honest. Making the pocket for this takes about as much time as making the skirt and waistband combined. It's not that it's hard, it's that it's three pieces, all of which are curvy, all of which have to fit together just right, and some of which [...]
Industrious
Sunday was for sewing, and I plowed through this in record time. I put these together with something sort of half way between a french seam and a felled seam. Do not yell at me, I'm not completely sure on the differences between the two, and I'm likely doing a [...]
Speedrunning a skirt
On Saturday afternoon, I decided, for reasons probably known to someone but certainly not to me, that I absolutely had to make a skirt over the long weekend. Step one was dragging out the suitable candidates from the fabric pile. Then narrowing them down (the light colored plaid is a [...]
Monthly Reminder
Hey folks, let's talk about jury nullification!* Jury nullification is when someone on a jury says 'yup, the defendant totally did what they're accused of, but holy fuck that's a shitty law, so I'm going to find them not guilty anyway.'** And then they keep saying not guilty as long [...]
Messy ends
Ok I know. I know that this looks like nothing so much as a pile of messy ends and poor choices. And that may well prove to be the case! But I think that if we tidy things up a bit and give it a bit of structure, we might [...]

Not long at all
I told you you wouldn't have long to wait! I spent much of Sunday playing with the new batch of cyanotype paper I just made. So far I have learned that the new paper (the roll I got to do the mini wall pockets with) is absolutely delightful to work [...]
Laboratory vibes
So when last I left you, I had remembered I like cyanotype prints, remembered and had all the stuff to make the fancy paper, and realized I had roll of a cool new kind of paper I got to do mini wall pockets with. Which led to adorning my kitchen [...]
More pockets
Remember how, back at the beginning of this month, I confessed to having all sorts of feelings about a silly folded piece of paper? Yeah. So. I'm folding another piece of paper. This time I'm working on a smaller/quicker version that goes together in an hour or so and uses [...]
