Oooh, I realize I can now build wearable antennas using this sewing machine. I just need to buy some conductive thread and figure out what kind of antenna design to sew into something... Radio hat? T-shirt shortwave antenna? Wearable APRS tracker?

Tschilp! Upcycling. Angefangen einen - wegen dem tollen Stoff - eigens hierfür aufgehobenen, zu klein gewordenen Jumpsuit vom Kind auseinanderzunehmen. Ein kleeein wenig Fuzzy Cutting, damit die Motive richtig heraus kommen. Mal sehen, wie sich der Stoff vernähen lässt, es soll ein Telleruntersetzer werden (Tischplatte ist nicht plan, recyceltes Holz) und wenn das gut läuft, werde ich den restlichen Stoff in eine Hexi-Decke für mich einfließen lassen, wo verschiedene, nicht mehr genutzte, Kleidungsstücke und Stoffreste aus anderen Näheprojekten ein neues Leben geschenkt bekommen werden.

It wouldn’t be a fashion show without some last minute #sewing. This Pucci-esque pure Italian silk is about to become Sydney’s kaftan for the show tomorrow.
My sewing patterns are highly customizable, but you might still want to adjust them. So here is an introduction into pattern hacking!
I'll be the first to agree my Finland Co-op hoodie and Menard five-pocket jeans are not the ne plus ultra in men's fashion here. But they've stood the test of time!
Friend Laura Y. writes in the local paper,
'Denimani Livingstone is more concise. “Safe,” he tells me. “Minnesotans dress very safe.”
'The 31-year-old Twin Cities clothing designer doesn’t mean to offend. Minnesotans are generally too pragmatic for trends on either coast that will evaporate by next year, so they often prioritize comfort over cutting-edge, he says.
'In his early 20s, Denimani bought a secondhand Singer sewing machine from Savers for about $15. He quickly turned to his mom, who worked as a seamstress in their native Ghana, for a tutorial. “I went straight to my mother and was like, ‘Teach me,’” he said.'

Yesterday I acquired swatches for all of the fabrics that’ll be on offer in the #ElfkinCollection this season. I’ve never pulled so much fabric in such a short amount of time. The spread of florals are the detail fabric options for the dress shirts. They make my eyes so happy! #fashion #sewing
I have been meaning to take photos of my new fabric before it became laundry, but I've been very busy, and the days I haven't been busy had been overcast and pissing rain; very bad light. So laundry it is.
Instead taking my own I shall post the store photos, a mini review of each piece, and what it's gonna (probably) become.
This is shaping up to be a long thread so mute me for a couple of hours if it's too much.
Without further ado here's my latest fabric haul!
Sewed a rudimentary (ugly) shopping bag with the new (old) sewing machine at lunch, just for practice, out of scrap material I have here that I had been using as a photo backdrop (but is now too worn and folded for that). I guess I need to try a pattern next time, LOL. Or I need to clone one. Also, shiny crispy photo backdrop material is a PITA, it's too slippery for the fabric advancement foot on the sewing machine. Anyway.... #sewing
Working on the embellishments in this week’s video, including how I made that adorable teddy bear!

@sewing I can't seem to get a picture without dogs today. It's another Persephone from Made for Mermaids. This time, I added an inch in length to both the skirt and ruffle. This one might be too long. I'm tired of sewing the pattern over and over but these dresses are the only thing I wear now, except for an occasional jeans and tee day.

New dress complete! Now, do I wear it today or wait until Sunday dinner? I never wait
Sagt bloß, das Zeug hier gibt es nicht mehr?? 
Wäre schade, das ist mein Lieblings-Schnittmuster-Vlies ....
Weiß wer was?
Oder ist das Produkt von Vlieseline mit dem aufgedruckten Raster das Gleiche und ich kann das nehmen?
Was ich im Urlaub so nähen wollte:
- 2 bis 3 Basic-Shirts
- 2 Tanzkostüme
- 1 Selma-Kleidchen
- 1 Flared-Leggings
- 1 Rock (Tessa von Pattydoo)
- 1 Leggings
- und vielleicht noch etwas aus dem Stoff-Vorrat
Bisher geschafft habe ich die normale Leggings und ein Shirt. Das zweite Shirt wanderte heute in die Tonne (kommt vor, Stoff zu flimsy, nächster Versuch).
Ich bin am Kleidchen dran.
Sewed a new car key sleeve. Old one with holes for comparison. (Yes, I like stripes. 
)
