So, I *miiiiight* have bought¹ a new board: olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/…
it arrived yesterday.
this morning I quickly followed the tutorial to check if it was working (it is, and the camera quality looks decent enough)
now the question is: what do I want to do with it?

I'm trying to make some tea, and I've just put the leaves in the mugs instead of the filter in the pot.
I think I need to drink some tea to be able to make tea.

My yarn winder has arrived, and it works!
It's fast, it doesn't hurt my wrists (like using a stick does), it can do 100g cakes and it makes the idea of dealing with about 6 kg of mostly very thin yarn much less daunting than having to make balls by hand.

TFW you wear your last pair of clean cotton thin¹ socks, and it breaks. and you don't have enough dirty clothing for a full washing machine load, and you should really go out and buy more, but UGH, no, I don't want to do that, I have lots of better things to do with my time!
so you spend a whole afternoon patching *one* pair of socks and finishing another pair that you sewed yourself from jersey fabric, that takes less time, right?

(picture of two round patches, on one there is a screenprinted bull's eye in blue and yellow, the other shows the pin sewn to the back)
By that time I would have *serious* doubts about the colours, really, but they are the #screenPrint paints (dekaprint 2000 in blue and yellow + deckweiß to print it on black fabric) I needed to test, and the alternatives wouldn't have worked :D
also, aligning two colour prints on small scraps of fabric is hard, even if you have a bit of a border on the lighter colour :D

I may have bought *some* wool yarn on cones, and now I need to turn it into 100g hanks, wash them, make center-pull balls and then it can be knitted. And some of it is very fine yarn meant for machine knitting.
I have a swift, I've set it to make an hank that is about 1m long, calculated how many meters are there in 100g (easy, the shop provided the number of meters in the full 500g cone), and then I didn't want to count the turns, so I started looking around the house for a magnet (I knew where it was and easily found it) and an hall effect sensor (I still haven't found it) and some microcontroller board to setup some kind of device for counting passes of the magnet over the sensor.
And then my SO told me “why don't you just weight the empty swift?”

Yesterday I stumbled on handknittingcashmereyarn.com/c… (a pattern in Italian for the scarf made with triangles of which I don't remember the English name).
And I had plans for the afternoon! (ok, mostly it involved ironing a bit of backlog, and watching videos online while #knitting a sock).
Instead, I now have an urgent need to have one such scarf, except in a (the most simple) lace stitch, and I have one triangle already made.

18th century pocket. *tactical*!
(Picture of something shaped line a 18th century pocket, except it's made of blue cordura with alternating red and white 2.5 cm webbing sewn at regular 4 cm intervals, and the front slit is closed by a water repellent zipper.)
(Picture of the back of the same pocket, where the webbing is blue (in a darker hue than the cordura), there is no slit, but two small belt loops sewn in the top seam.)
I know, to make it properly *tactical* it should have been camo instead of brightly coloured, but I have no camo fabric at home (and honestly have no plan to buy any) and this was a spur-of-the-moment thing made with leftovers from my backpack-and-accessories.

TFW it's 21:40, you're making something silly and want to see it finished, you are at the stage where you need to sew a waterproof zipper into waterproof fabric (so there is only one try) plus a lining, and you're stuck with deciding the best way to do it in a way that is as clean as possible. Also, the neighbors won't be happy about my sewing machine going on in the night
I'll try to do the sensible thing and sleep on it. As opposed to both doing it wrong right now AND waking up in the middle of the night with an idea on how to do it and then not being able to sleep.

TIL: using white glue to attach a waterproof zipper to TPU-coated cordura (and to uncoated lining cordura), and leaving it overnight with a lot of binder clips on WORKS.
In some places it had detached, but there was enough still working that I was able to sew the zipper with much less effort than I would have if everything was kept together with binder clips.

The two main thinks I've been sewing lately are ready to be worn!
The skirt is a foundation skirt from a 1892 patternmaking manual in light blue linen/cotton with box pleated ruffles at the hem, made in a walking length (you can see the ankles! and the very modern hiking boots I'm wearing every day with late 1800 inspired clothing :D )
The shirt is a gentleman's shirt from a 1880 book, made in blue cotton with two pleats per side in the front plus the button placket and a handful of errors: I've put one of the three buttons in the wrong position (it should have been midway between the collar and the second button) and the cuffs are too small (and I've put the slit in the wrong position, wooops), so I haven't added buttons yet (and maybe I won't?)
like this
reshared this
The back of the skirt is very full and heavily pleated in the waistband, so it could be worn as is, but also with a bit of padding in the bustle area.
The back of the skirt is gathered in the yoke (but in the picture it can't really be seen, since I'm also wearing my hairs *down*)
Shoes (of which the sole can be seen in the picture) are still very much not historically accurate :D

The skirt is going to be my to-go skirt for this season, worn like this (which is why I've made it as a short (for its time) walking length skirt).
I'm also going to make some draperies to wear on top of it for a more historical look, but those are needed with less urgency.
I'm also half-way through editing and adding pictures to the instructions, so I will be publishing the source code for it *soon*. #FreeSoftWear

Now at cwebber@social.coop ! reshared this.
And as I wrote in another comment, my short term plans for the shirt are to remake it in linen, probably trying to improve the armscye lines a bit, as well as fixing the cuff size.
The detachable collar from my other linen shirt of course fits, and maybe I'll make a few others in different styles, but I'm not sure they will be ready this summer.
The instructions have already been written, but I still have to edit and add the step-by-step pictures, and they are *a lot*, so publishing those will take a bit more time (but it will happen!)
And then there is a cut of lightweight red wool waiting for me in the stash, but that's in long-term plans territory :)

rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
well, the skirt is cotton/linen, so it breathes quite well (and being a relatively wide skirt there is quite some potential for air movement). The other layer below it is a cotton petticoat with lots of ruffles, which I may or may not wear depending on the season and on how historically accurate I want to be.
Plus cotton leggings and wool socks, but those may go away as the season becomes warmer, especially the wool socks :D
I'm quite confident that it's going to be only mildly uncomfortable with any temperature that I can expect in this part of the world (in the 30°C, ish), and less uncomfortable than going around in shorts that don't protect the legs from the sun.
David Bremner likes this.
The shirt is a different matter: it's a relatively thick cotton and I'm wearing it as a moderately warm outer layer on top of a long sleeved t-shirt now that temperatures are around 16–18°C, it's definitely not summer wear.
But it's also a wearable mock-up for a linen shirt, and that one is going to be part of my standard summer wear, together with two other linen shirts from different decades. Again, I'm not going to be comfortable during the summer :) but it's nice to have some well breathing fabric between my body and the sun. As for layers, I'm probably going to be wearing it over either a cotton/linen jersey camisole or a linen chemise (if I manage to make it before the summer :D ), and either a bra or a summer corset in aida cloth.
There is also a video on youtube, I believe by Abby Cox, of people spending half an hour or so in the USA desert in summer while wearing fully layered historical clothing in wool, linen and silk and then measuring their skin temperature with a thermal camera, compared to the same thing while wearing single layer, short modern clothing.
spoiler: multiple layers in linen and wool won :D

Sai se tra i metodi di modellismo (che sono sempre stati sottoposti a una ferrea protezione della proprietà intellettuale) iniziano a essercene alcuni rilasciati in creative commons?
modellismo nel senso di modelli di cucito, giusto (perché altrimenti no, non è qualcosa che pratico)?
Che io sappia è ancora una nicchia piccolina, ma ci si sta provando. Credo che ci sia anche qualcosa nella comunità di utenti di Valentina (il programma che uso per disegnare i modelli), ma non so più che fine abbia fatto (temo su facebook?) e l'autore del programma è più propenso verso la vendita degli stessi, per cui non credo che li incoraggi particolarmente.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' @varve purtroppo i software sono così costosi da avere provocato la creazione di un mercato del sw pirata molto sviluppato (cfr mastodon.uno/@informapirata/10… ). Il fatto è che al di là del software sono proprio i "metodi" di modellismo (come disegnare un cartamodello in base alle misure) a essere sottoposti a un copyright che rappresenta spesso l'unico vero asset delle scuole di modellismo

Buona domanda, a quello che leggevo in giro ad essere protetto da copyrigth è la descrizione del metodo, ma non il metodo stesso (che potrebbe essere coperto da brevetti però?), per cui seguire le istruzioni per disegnare un block con un software e pubblicare il relativo file dovrebbe essere lecito.
Parlo però di istruzioni pubblicate su libri, non di blocchi predisposti per specifici programmi.
Come software conosco valentina, che è in debian, e quello in javascript usato su freesewing: entrambi sono basati su design parametrico basato sulle misure del destinatario finale e non sulla creazione di una taglia standard e poi ottenere le altre taglie tramite grading.
Credo che la cosa li renda adatti al lavoro delle sarte (oltre che ovviamente al cucito domestico / individuale), ma non all'uso per la produzione di massa.
Ah, e ovviamente ci sono i manuali d'epoca, con cui si va sul sicuro dal punto di vista della proprietà intellettuale, ma che potrebbero avere qualche lieve controindicazioni stilistica :D
(non capisco quale possa essere il problema, basta vestirsi come se si fosse nell'ottocento :D )
Questi sono i tre che ho usato, nei README ci sono i link al manuale su archive.org, dove però ce ne sono anche molti altri:

git-list
git-list is an experimental git sub-command to interact with mailing-list based patch workflows.
Git comes with some tools to collaborate via email: git send-email and git am, one to send a patch directly to the mailing-list, the other to apply a patch which ... somehow... the user get from the mailing-list.
There are plenty of email clients written exactly to work with a mail-based patch workflow, or adapted to the job with configs and plugins. And I'm sure they work perfectly.
However, I'm only an amateur mail-patch user, and I'm not an hardcore consolophile: I prefer to keep using my graphical mail client, which unfortunately doesn't have any cool git integration.
But, one day I found out himalaya, a CLI mail client (not a TUI!). I would say himalaya is to thunderbird as curl is to firefox, in a way.
It allows to easily integrate mails into bash pipelines.
And so git-list is born. Put git-list script into your path, configure himalaya, add some local config to your repo and you will be able to easy list mail from the mailing-list related to the project, read mails, and apply patches to brand-new branches created ad-hoc from the comfort of your terminal:
$ git list
ID | Subject
-----------------
1 | [Patch] ....
$ git list show 1
...
$ git list test 1
$ git status
On branch patch/1
...As always, everything is extremely experimental, and likely will stay this way.
Here is the code:
P.S. have a look at the git send-email tutorial
