Problems, problems, self-induced #sewingPersonProblems.
I've done the last machine seam on the flannel shirt¹, but I want to use the same blue thread to sew a pair of linen trousers for my SO. He's not going to wear them for a few months, of course, but I want to see if the pattern is correct, so they are high priority.
However, my mother has just finished a filet crochet yoke for a nightgown that I'm going to make in linen for myself. Again, not something that is going to be worn any time soon², but it's a quick sew and it will allow me to know how much leftover linen I have for another project. But it needs a different colour of thread in the machine.
The sensible thing would be to sew the trousers during the next week, and then sew the nightgown. Luckily it's also the lazy thing, so that's probably what I'm going to do.
Can you guess how much I'd want to change plans and start with the nightgown? :D
(there will be pictures of everything mentioned. one day. :D )

¹ lots of handsewing remains, but that takes a different time slot.
² unless I decide to wear it as a chemise, but even then in winter I don't really need a linen one.

in reply to Quezovercoatl quietly • • •@twotone YES YES THIS. I still do a lot of passive scrolling (I get overwhelmed easily--slow mode has saved my ADHD arse many times already) but it reminds me to think about what I'm seeing and do something.
I think I've boosted more posts here in the last week than I RTed on the birb site in ages.

When you click that, it gets added to your bookmarks which are listed on your getting started page (the one that opens from the three bars on the far left at the top of your far left panel). I've only just discovered them recently myself, and they are great for my goldfish brain!

in reply to Tris Lawrence / tryslora • • •This is sweet :) So, HEY EVERYONE, isn’t this a cool thing?
(It was so strange over at the 🐦 site to be informed every time someone I followed liked something… this here system is so much more intuitive!)

Mee too, so much. It is about actual conversation, not about posting something snarky, witty, catchy, then leave it there for others so applaud.

in reply to Jennie Hall • • •@ReadingJennie I don't know if it's an instance thing? When I look at a Toot, I see the bookmark icon directly to the right of the favorite icon at the bottom (mine goes reply, boost, favorite, bookmark, dots/menu).
I should admit, I'm also relatively new here. I think it's been a week now.

in reply to Max Guthier • • •@MaxGuthier If I bookmark a thing, I favorite it too, usually, because yes, I totally want the creator to know I liked it.
But I am favoriting a lot of things, so that list is looooong, so I'm using bookmarks for the things I know I need/want to refer back to so it's a shorter list. Mostly a nice way to curate the fire hose in my head!

HEY FRIENDS (followers) I want to show you all a COOL THING and TALK about it. Don’t worry, I’ll start.

in reply to Tris Lawrence / tryslora • • •Unfortunately the iOS apps don't have Bookmark support nor do they have the Lists option.
For many newbies, like myself, it gives a frustratingly limited view of how the system works and what it offers...

That's what I expect liking to do! Just tell you that I liked it

Boost + Favorite: Super cool, everyone should see this.
Boost sans Favorite: Everyone should see this, but not necessarily cool.
