From today's wikipedia trip: a 1920 ad for work clothing that mentions that they are made by unionized workers.

I've published a new pattern, for classic jeans.
https://sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/contemporary_menswear/trousers/basic_jeans/index.html
They are based on a menswear block, so for people who need more fullness in the front than in the back; one day I will also draft the same pattern based on a womanswear block, but right now I don't need jeans-like trousers in non-denim and I don't have a source for decent denim, so don't hold your breath for it :)

@Mre. Dartigen [maker mode] let me know how it works!
I'm not sure how easy valentina is to use (even if just to enter the measurements and print out an existing pattern), and I'm not proficient enough to write a guide myself :(
And if you have any doubts on the instructions part feel free to ask! That part I take full responsibility for :)

So, chaos.social is closing new accounts, because the twatter influx has overloaded the admins. But probably more crucially, they don't want to be a huge instance, and therefore are prepared to help others on the way to setting up their own.
That's the fedi thing to do! And it reminds me that I really want to look into running another small instance for @interpeer - not that I want to leave chaos.social so much as a project member instance would be cool.
We'll see, we'll see.

Open-registration fediverse servers require a multiple of the person-hours required to administer limited-registration servers.
A single person can easily moderate scores of screened users who can be reasonably expected to behave a large percentage of the time.
If you don't screen users, you not only get more people who act out, you also *attract* all the people that are inclined to act out who can't get in elsewhere.

The administrative overhead of coordinating the team of volunteer moderators (assuming your server isn't one of the two that are bankrolled by, say, the gambling industry...) also multiplies, as you have to find more qualified moderators, get them to behave consistently and deal with the turnover inherent in the task.
In short, smaller curated instances will always be better moderated AND feasible to manage with volunteers; open-registration instances inevitably grow beyond their capacity.

Status update on the flannel shirt: all of the main pieces have been assembled, two buttonholes out of five have been done. I still have to fell the seams on the sleeves and the sides, and hemstitch the hems. And then I must not forget the reinforcement patches at the sides and sleeves. The one I've almost forgotten about about every time I think on what's still to do on the shirt :D
Being able to wear it this weekend is starting to sound feasible, unless something unexpected happens.

And I've also added a button that was missing to the white linen shirt of the same pattern.
tomorrow I'll cut, press (that's going to be a hassle) and sew the reinforcement patches, and then it will be done!
And then on the pile I have the facing of the bathrobe and — cough — a couple of things that I really would love to have mended :D

Put it in a box. Close and seal the box. Wait. Open the box.
If there's a dead cat in there, contact Mr Schrodinger.
If there's no cat, clearly it was dry enough, and the hypothetical cat left unobserved the same way it arrived.

#til that there is yet another #fabric-based thing that is called buckram and it has some similarities, but is definitely a different thing from the other two I knew.
A mesh material used to make fursuit eye pieces.
(The other two are the buckram used in hats and the one used to stiffen stays)

I was outside for a walk with @Diego Roversi , and asked him to come with me to a #fabric shop, so that I could buy exactly what I needed (to wrap christmas packages), with no time to look around at what they had and get ideas.
We did. I got what I needed. We payed.
And then just before leaving I noticed some nice woolens. And I may have taken a picture and sent it to my mother.
To be continued... :D

I still have to finish other handsewn things, but I have the cutting mat on the table, and I decided I might as well start cutting the #AugustaStays, and then maybe later in the weekend I can make the buckram.
Natural linen would have probably been better than white¹, but oh well, in 200 years they are going to be yellow too :D and they will be trimmed with powder blue cotton
¹ yes, it's white³, the blue tint is courtesy of the vintage effect² in the pinephone camera :D
² no, it can't be turned off :D
³ and now I must look for a UV light to find out whether it's merely bleached or it also has optical whiteners, but I don't know where it is

Third layer cut!
I was tempted to only use two layers for the straps, since this time they wouldn't fit under piece A, but then I tried to squeeze it somewhere else and… WIN.

Hey all, with the continued influx of Twitter people, I'm once again seeing a drop in the number of people who add alt text/image descriptions to what they post, denying access to many disabled users here.
Exactly how you do this varies by Mastodon client app, but it is usually just below the image once you upload & before posting.
Even a short-but-useful description is better than nothing—focus on what you're trying to get others to get from the image rather than describing every detail.

@Teffer and people who has made 18th century #stays : I'm reading the instructions for the #AugustaStays and they say to layer the fabric, starting from the outside, as outer layer, heavyweight linen interlining, buckram, so that buckram is towards the body, with just the optional lining separating it from the shift.
Do you have any idea why it isn't layered as outer layer, buckram, heavyweight lining?

I have no idea!! The stays I made were fashion fabric, canvas interlining (optional 2 layer) and then lining. My best guess is it’s based on extant stays that have that pattern, but you can probably layer them either way. Maybe the interlining gives a smoother outer look.

Boosting a toot is like
Hovering around with an ion repulsorlift jetpack high up in the sky
Look down and see a toot rocket fast approaching
Seems like it could use a push to get on its way to orbit
Catch it just as it comes into tractor beam range
One well-timed spin around to accelerate and release
A sonic boom and it's on its way up and away
The flare of its toot engine blinking out of sight

As a blind individual, I have to say that #Caturday on #Mastodon is far far more enjoyable then at #Twitter, where the vast majority of cat photos are not described.
It is also been fascinating for me to hear descriptions written by those who sent the image, immediately followed by Apple image recognition’s attempts to describe the same image. Only rarely does that add anything to the ALT, & often directly contradicts it.
There is no auto magical solution to image description. It is something best done by a human, for only that human can explain the “why” of the image: the reason that image was chosen to speak so eloquently without words for those who can see it. ALT allows you to provide those words.
