Things I didn't need: a new project.
Thing I'm doing: trying to #embroidery a small fediverse patch on a scrap of fabric using whatever leftover embroidery thread from old crossstitch projects.

Swiss Embroidery Princess Petticoat
Posted on March 16, 2023
![a person wearing a blue sleeveless fitted dress with calf-length skirt; there are small ruffles on the armscyes and the hem, and white lace on the collar and just above the hem ruffle, and small white buttons on a partial placket down the center front.]( "a person wearing a blue sleeveless fitted dress with calf-length skirt; there are small ruffles on the armscyes and the hem, and white lace on the collar and just above the hem ruffle, and small white buttons on a partial placket down the center front.")
A few years ago a friend told me that her usual fabric shop was closing down and had a sale on all remaining stock.
While being sad for yet another brick and mortar shop that was going to be missed (at least it was because the owners were retiring, not because it wasn’t sustainable anymore), of course I couldn’t miss the opportunity.
So we drove a few hundred km, had some nice time with a friend that (because of said few hundred km) we rarely see, and spent a few hours looting the corps… er… helping the shop owner getting rid of stock before their retirement.
![A surprisingly small pile of fabric; everything is blue or black.]( "A surprisingly small pile of fabric; everything is blue or black.")
Among other things there was a cut of lightweight swiss embroidery cotton in blue which may or may not have been enthusiastically grabbed with plans of victorian underwear.
It was too nice to be buried under layers and layers of fabric (and I suspect that the embroidery wouldn’t feel great directly on the skin under a corset), so the natural fit was something at the corset cover layer, and the fabric was enough for a combination garment of the kind often worn in the later Victorian age to prevent the accumulation of bulk at the waist.
It also has the nice advantage that in this time of corrupted morals it is perfectly suitable as outerwear as a nice summer dress.
Then life happened, the fabric remained in my stash for a long while, but finally this year I have a good late victorian block that I can adapt, and with spring coming it was a good time to start working on the summer wardrobe.
![scan from a vintage book with the pattern for a tight fitting jacket.]( "scan from a vintage book with the pattern for a tight fitting jacket.")
The block I’ve used comes from The Cutters’ Practical Guide to the Cutting of Ladies Garments and is for a jacket, rather than a bodice, but the bodice block from the same book had a 4 part back, which was too much for this garment. I reduced the ease around the bust a bit, which I believe worked just fine.
The main pattern was easy enough to prepare, I just had to add skirt panels with a straight side towards the front and flaring out towards the back, and I did a quick mockup from an old sheet to check the fit (good) and the swish and volume of the skirt (just right at the first attempt!).
The mockup was also used to get an idea of a few possible necklines, and I opted for a relatively deep V, and a front opening with a partial placket down to halfway between the waist and the hips. I also opted for a self-fabric ruffle at the hem and armscyes.
![same dress, same person, from the side, with one hand in the pocket slit.]( "same dress, same person, from the side, with one hand in the pocket slit.")
The only design choice left was the pocket situation: I wanted to wear this garment both as underwear (where pockets aren’t needed, and add unwanted bulk) and outerwear (where no pockets is not an option), and the fabric felt too thin to support the weight of the contents of a full pocket. So I decided to add slits into the seams, with just a modesty placket, and wear pockets under the dress as needed.
I decided to put the slits between the side and side back panels for two reasons: one is that this way the pockets can sit towards the back, where the fullness of the skirt is supposed to be, rather than under the flat front, and the other one is to keep the seams around the front panel clean, since they are the first ones to be changed when altering a garment for fit.
For the same reason, I didn’t trim the excess allowance from that seam: it means that it is a bit more bulky, but the fabric is thin enought that it’s not really noticeable, and it gives an additional cm for future alterations.
Then, as the garment was getting close to being finished I was measuring and storing some old cotton lace I had received as a gift, and there was a length of relatively small lace, and the finish on the neckline was pretty simple and called for embellishment, and who am I to deny embellishment to victorian inspired clothing?
![A ruffle pleated into a receiving tuck, each pleat is fixed with a pin, and there are a lot of pins.]( "A ruffle pleated into a receiving tuck, each pleat is fixed with a pin, and there are a lot of pins.")
First I had to finish attaching the ruffles, however, and this is when I cursed myself for not using the ruffler foot I have (it would have meant not having selvedges on all seams of the ruffle), and for pleating the ruffle rather than gathering it (I prefer the look of handsewn gathers, but here I’m sewing everything by machine, and that’s faster, right? (it probably wasn’t)).
![A metal box full of straight pins.]( "A metal box full of straight pins.")
Also, this is where I started to get low on pins, and I had to use the ones from the vintage1 box I’ve been keeping as decoration in the sewing room.
A few long sessions of pinning later, the ruffle was sewn and I could add the lace; I used white thread so that it would be hidden on the right side, but easily visible inside the garment in case I’ll decide to remove or change it later.
A few buttons and buttonholes later, the garment was ready, and the only thing left was to edit the step-by-step pictures and publish the pattern: it’s now available as #FreeSoftWear on my patterns website.
And Of course, I had to do a proper swish test of the finished dress with the ruffle, and I’m happy to announce that it was fully passed.
![a person spinning on herself, the skirt and the ruffle are swishing out. Something in the pocket worn under the dress is causing a bit of bulge on one side.]( "a person spinning on herself, the skirt and the ruffle are swishing out. Something in the pocket worn under the dress is causing a bit of bulge on one side.")
Except, maybe I shouldn’t carry heavy items in my pockets when doing it? Oh, well.
I have other plans for the same pattern, but they involve making some crochet lace, so I expect I can aim at making them wearable in summer 2024.
Now I just have to wait for the weather to be a bit warmer, and then I can start enjoing this one.

- ok, even more vintage, since my usual pins come from a plastic box that has been probably bought in the 1980s.↩︎

I argue we (#curl) should NOT pay docker. Not give in to extortion. This might mean that someone else soon suddenly will register our name and can serve whatever image they want there. 5 *billion* pulls indicate there's a user or two that might fall victim for this.
That's on docker, not us.

Can somebody with an account on discord or something contact the people of https://freesewing.org/community/where/ to let them know that on the Fediverse there is a community of a) people who sew and b) people who care about free culture c) an hashtag ( #FreeSoftWear ) where they have been mentioned a few times and it would be great if they wanted to join us?
Thanks!

we already have more social media accounts than we manage to maintain.
Not to say we don't want to, merely saying that we are spread thin as it is. So unless the request comes with an offer to help out, I doubt it will get much traction

@Joost De Cock uops, so you know about the fediverse already, sorry.
And I'm also sorry that I can't probably help, since I don't have accounts on proprietary platforms, and thus can't act as a bridge between the communities :(

One of my current #sewing projects is a summer garment and it's missing only 3.5 buttonholes, 6 buttons and probably a snap or a hook + eye. I think it's reasonable to aim at finishing it this evening.
Will it cause a sudden drop in the temperatures with a lot of rain?
(one may hope :D )

I also have the instructions and blogpost mostly written, but I need to take a few pictures and edit all of the ones I've already taken.
I hope to publish those in the next few days, unless it starts raining and raining and raining.

Di solito, quando devo chiedere a chi è accanto a me, ma è in confcall, se va bene l'ora di pranzo prendo un foglietto usato poche volte di carta, una stilografica e scrivo la domanda in buon #corsivo.
Oggi mia madre, al telefono, mi ha passato un pezzo di carta e una penna a sfera per capire cosa stessi cercando di chiederle (era “devo andare avanti a mescolare il pranzo mentre tu sei al telefono?”), e mi sono accorta che mi son messa a scrivere in stampatello, facendo molta più fatica.
La soluzione: abolite le penne a sfera. :D

Yeah, forms with tiny rectangles are the only ones where I would write printed letters. I've filled one form just yesterday and no rectangles, so filled in cursive.
The pen they gave me was terrible though! The point would dip a little constantly :( And the one I had with me is heat erasable so not good for documents.

Tiny rant: US-/North America-centrism is so pervasive on the English-language Internet. People are quick to describe a plant or animal in a post as "invasive" without knowing where the photo was taken. I'm like, *where do you think it is native to?* Mars? ಠ___ಠ
I just saw a user assuming a planarian they found was invasive because that's what North Americans automatically parrot. They were in its native range.

The moral of this story is, when describing something as an invasive species, say where.
@PeteBleackley or anything, really. How often do I wonder where on earth this amazing species might live that I’ve never seen before. And the poster doesn’t say.

I only bought a bit of cord for piping, and NO fabric.

It is spring, which means it's a good time to update emergency supplies before summer rolls in.
I consider myself a small-scale prepper. By which I mean that I am not interested in preparing for 'the end of the world as we know it' (TEOTWAWKI) or stocking up on weapons for the 'inevitable civil war.'
But I absolutely am interested in having enough emergency supplies laid in for actual emergencies.
My baseline is off of the 2003 Northeast blackout and several years of emergency relocations

I want two weeks supplies on hand in the house (blackout).
I want go bags with the necessities for everyone so that in the case of emergency hospital trips, building fires, or (god forbid) another 'we have less than 24 hours to load up whatever we can in the car and find a new place to live' I know we'll be okay for at least a few days.
I know 'prepper' has a bad name, and there's good reason for that. But often the most marginalized of us especially can really benefit from a bit of prep

Hey, so, I've seen several folks talking about how coronavirus advice givers insist you should everything on hand for two weeks -- including your medicine, and how impossible that is.
I'm a small-scale prepper who has been working on getting a month's worth of medicine on hand for a couple years now. If you want to be able to have extra meds on hand for emergencies, here's some tips:
Today I went through the go-bags to see what we have, what needs to be replaced, and what's been used. Here's a rough outline of what I try to have (emphasis on TRY, I'm never actually managed all this):
Personal go-bags (one for each family member:
* 1 change of clothes
* 1 extra pair underwear and socks
* 2-4 weeks daily meds
* emergency blanket
* $25
* emergency letter w/ contact info and 'I am autistic/PTSD/etc, here's what it looks like when I have a panic attack and here's how to help
* book/toy/drawing supplies
* fave high energy snacks (usually granola bars and candy)
* fave stuffed animal/comfort object
* couple bottles water
* 1 change of clothes
* 1 extra pair underwear and socks
* 2-4 weeks daily meds
* emergency blanket
* $25
* emergency letter w/ contact info and 'I am autistic/PTSD/etc, here's what it looks like when I have a panic attack and here's how to help
* book/toy/drawing supplies
* fave high energy snacks (usually granola bars and candy)
* fave stuffed animal/comfort object
* couple bottles water
Family go-bag (large duffel, first parent to the door is responsible for grabbing it:
* 2 changes of clothes each
* emergency radio
* 3 days food
* water filters/sodium tablets
* emergency tools
* digital copies of important documents (drivers licenses, insurance cards, etc)
* paper copies of important documents
* family emergency contact info
* toys/games (Nintendo DS currently), books, etc
* $100
* hygiene stuff
* extra glasses
* flashlights
* duct tape
* tarp/rope for emergency shelter
* 2 changes of clothes each
* emergency radio
* 3 days food
* water filters/sodium tablets
* emergency tools
* digital copies of important documents (drivers licenses, insurance cards, etc)
* paper copies of important documents
* family emergency contact info
* toys/games (Nintendo DS currently), books, etc
* $100
* hygiene stuff
* extra glasses
* flashlights
* duct tape
* tarp/rope for emergency shelter
There's other stuff I'd LIKE to have in there -- for instance, I'd LIKE to put a pre-paid phone in each individual go-bag. I'd LIKE to have extra pairs of shoes, and rain gear, and...
But basics first, 'extras' later (if/when tehre is money for them)

I'm recently diagnosed with ADHD, and I'm going to set up some sort of "in progress" list, a "here's that thread you wanted to finish, and those documents about that thing you were researching," etc. They can sit there until the world ends, but I don't have to re-invent the wheel every time, or try to remember what Old Me called something. Chances are she got clever and the title is connects to a previous special interest.

If you aren't used to thinking in terms of emergency prep, all this can seem excessive.
We tend to hit our emergency supplies about a half dozen times a year, for everything from 'someone is going to the hospital' to 'food stamps ran out' to 'fuck, I wasn't not healthy enough to do laundry for three weeks.'
They're also useful for kids having sleep overs, trips to visit family (you're already packed for a weekend trip).

Obviously, not everyone can do this.
Hell, I can't do this and it's my plan! We have never had full paper copies of emergency documents, or $100, or a tarp w/ ropes in the family go-bag.
I THINK I'll finally be able to manage some of that this year. Hopefuly.
(Correction -- it should be two tarps. One ALWAYS goes on the ground, and if you have a second you can put it over you.)
But most folks can manage something.

Most folks can manage to stick a change of clothes in an old bookbag or purse.
Most folks can find a handful of bandaids to squirrel away, or a bottle of asprin.
Most folks can stick a bit of candy or nuts in a hideaway for a high-calorie emergency snack. (Pro-tip, avoid chocolate or anything that can melt)
As is often the case, doing something, even if it's 'not enough' is better than waiting until the 'right' time to do everything you want.

I'll probably pretty this up and turn it into an essay in the next several weeks.
In the meantime -- any other small-scale preppers want to share their tips?
(Note to self -- add a roll of toilet paper to go bags.
Cheap, easy to get and replace (usually), and has a wide variety of uses from tissues to first aid to, well, you know.)

something that I want to do and isn't doing, on top of that, is keeping a digital copy of all important records, both on an HDD in the emergency bag AND a cloud solutions. Things like old payslips, blood test results, etc.

*pinches bridge of nose* none of the ones that come to mind feels any good, and I haven't had capacity to research it, to be honest. I'd have to check where it's hosted, and their interest in privacy, and also if it's kinda obscure it has more chances of flying under the radar of hackers.

@Jess Mahler since for weekend trips and the like I already have to bring a pair of house shoes, I'm looking in the general direction of having something that can also work as emergency outdoors shoes (and can be washed afterwards to go back to being indoors only).
I'm thinking espadrille-shaped, but with rubber soles, but something like hiking sandals would also work.
Of course that's based on the assumption that one already needs house shoes for travel.

The thread, and the comments, are wonderful. Much as another commenter said, I don't know any other small-scale not-preppers.
I might add that once you've got two weeks' worth of short-term preparedness, consider 2-6 months worth of your basic staples. My stash is running low right now, but it's saved my bacon, and my parents', during times of job loss or extended illness.
I work that right into the cupboards - what's a couple more canisters of rice? It's easier to rotate that way.

This is a good idea for folks who can manage it, but for both space and money reasons isn't an accessible goal for a lot of people. Especially families.
I can fit two weeks food supply in our pantry. Two weeks for a family of four takes up as much space as 2 *months* food supply for a single person. And costs equivalent.

Forgotten Yeast Bread
Posted on March 7, 2023
Yesterday around 13:00 I started my usual ”I’m being lazy” bread recipe:
For the record, it was a strong flour (310 W), type 1, so white, but somewhat coarsely ground.
And then, when it was time to cook bread for dinner I realized that something was missing. Something critical. See if you can spot it in the list above.
The yeast.
Some bread was taken out of the freezer and defrosted in the oven, but I didn’t want to throw away the flour, so I mixed 2-3 g dried yeast, 10 g flour and 10 g water, and left it to rise until after dinner.
Then I added it to the dought, added some more water (I know. I should have measured it. I didn’t expect having to repeat the thing. It was probably about 20 g), mixed for 5 minutes, covered it to rise.
This afternoon, around 15:30, I took the dought, folded it 5-6 times, formed a round loaf on the lined baking tray and left it in the cold oven until 17:45. Then I removed it from the oven, turned it on at 240°C, scored the top of the loaf and sprinkled it with water.
When the oven was hot I baked the loaf for 10 minutes at 240°C, then turned it down to 160°C for 20 additional minutes.
And then I realized I need to repeat this.
No, there are no pictures (there is some left, but it’s too dark to take pictures).

if you want to replicate try mixing flour and about 70% water, leave it some time (Calvel recommends 30 min), then add water yeast and everything else and go your normal merry way.
The alternative (cold autolyse) is a bit more involved.

Bookbinding: photo album
Posted on March 6, 2023
![an open book with a watercolour of a costume pasted from two corners on one page; near the spine there is a sliver of paper as a spacer.]( "an open book with a watercolour of a costume pasted from two corners on one page; near the spine there is a sliver of paper as a spacer.")
When I paint postcards I tend to start with a draft (usually on lightweight (250 g/m²) watercolour paper, then trace1 the drawing on blank postcards and paint it again.
I keep the drafts for a number of reasons; for the views / architectural ones I’m using a landscape photo album that I bought many years ago, but lately I’ve also sent a few cards with my historical outfits to people who like to be kept updated on that, and I wanted a different book for those, both for better organization and to be able to keep them in the portrait direction.
If you know me, you can easily guess that buying one wasn’t considered as an option.
![A closed hardcover book in uniform dark grey.]( "A closed hardcover book in uniform dark grey.")
Since I’m not going to be writing on the pages, I decided to use a relatively cheap 200 g / m² linoprint paper with a nice feel, and I’ve settled on a B6 size (before trimming) to hold A6 postcard drafts.
For the binding I’ve decided to use a technique I’ve learned from a craft book ages ago that doesn’t use tapes, and added a full hard cover in dark grey linen-feel2 paper. For the end-papers I’ve used some random sheets of light blue paper (probably around 100-something g / m²), and that’s the thing where I could have done better, but they work.
Up to now there isn’t anything I hadn’t done before, what was new was the fact that this book was meant to hold things between the pages, and I needed to provide space for them.
![a book seen from the top: near the spine all signatures are made of 4 sheets, but two of them for each signature are just stubs, and leave open spaces between the pages.]( "a book seen from the top: near the spine all signatures are made of 4 sheets, but two of them for each signature are just stubs, and leave open spaces between the pages.")
After looking on the internet for solutions, I settled on adding spacers by making a signature composed of paper - spacer - paper - spacer, with the spacers being 2 cm wide, folded in half.
And then, between finishing binding the book and making the cover I utterly forgot to add the head bands. Argh. It’s not the first time I make this error.
![The same book, open on an empty page.]( "The same book, open on an empty page.")
I’m happy enough with the result. There are things that are easy to improve on in the next iteration (endpapers and head bands), and something in me is not 100% happy with the fact that the spacers aren’t placed between every sheet, but there are places with no spacer and places with two of them, but I can’t think of (and couldn’t find) a way to make them otherwise with a sewn book, unless I sew each individual sheet, which sounds way too bulky (the album I’m using for the landscapes was glued, but I didn’t really want to go that way).
The size is smaller than the other one I was using and doesn’t leave a lot of room around the paintings, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because it also means less wasted space.
I believe that one of my next project will be another similar book in a landscape format, for those postcard drafts that aren’t landscapes nor clothing related.
And then maybe another? or two? or…

Traceback (most recent call last):
TooManyProjectsError: project queue is full- yes, trace. I can’t draw. I have too many hobbies to spend the required amount of time every day to practice it. I’m going to fake it. 85% of the time I’m tracing from a photo I took myself, so I’m not even going to consider it cheating.↩︎
- the description of which, on the online shop, made it look like fabric, even if the price was suspiciously low, so I bought a sheet to see what it was. It wasn’t fabric. It feels and looks nice, but I’m not sure how sturdy it’s going to be.↩︎

could you say more about what you want to learn? Altering clothes or paper patterns is a bit different from drafting patterns and both are different from making up clothes by hand or machine.

not that I ever do any kind of sewing where a cardboard spool wouldn't be realistically possible (even if possibly the markings could be too modern, e.g. if there is a barcode)

I mean, it's not like slippers are getting dirty or anything, RIGHT?

Which of these worlds sounds best for FOSS:
a) a world where all the projects have clear steps to compiling, participating
b) a world where you trust the developers to compile and put things together from black boxes, don't touch them, the devs know what's best for you
fuck flathub/flatpak/docker as "the way to run FOSS software", go guix and nix and debian
down with "father knows best" architecture

I’ve always seen open source as a model for how projects should be and pushed back hard any time proprietary software requires specific configurations on the developers’ machines. Being spoiled by how easy autoconf, et al made things, so many closed source projects seem downright clunky in comparison.
Speaking as someone who used to toggle binary machine code into core memory using front panel switches, and used a logic probe as a primary debugging tool I’m confident that there’s a continuum in this, as in all things.
There will always be wizards, as well as script kiddies and moms and dads with differing needs and abilities.
That said, the “O” in FOSS pretty much by definition rules out black boxes. The challenge, nevertheless, is to agree on the level of abstraction where black boxes are acceptable. The CPU as black box? Compiler?
We’re all probably running C compilers with Ken Thompson’s privilege virus in them, for example (i.e. not many people bootstrap their “black box” compilers). However not having buildable source seems like it’s no longer “OSS”.

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

However I also remember having do pay a tariff when food was being moved from the back seat to the front seat and vice versa of a 9 seats minivan that was traveling internationally.
OTOH, part of that trip was outside of the EU (and some of the times part of that food had been bought outside the EU), so, yeah, that makes stuff more complicated, I guess :D
(I don't think we ever tried to pass food from the back seat to the front seat while the car was *exactly* over the border. That's a significant lack of planning on our part.)
