Have I finished the cartridge pleated skirt? of course not (it's getting closer, however)

Have I started to cut the lining fabric for the next project? maaaaaybe :D

I need a bodice to go with that skirt, and this morning I had some time when I could cut some fabric and quickly sew a mockup by machine.

I'm not 100% sure about the result, I may need to remove a bit of ease, but the fabric I'm going to use for the bodice was cheap enough¹ that I think I will cut it and I can always take it in later.

¹ a mystery fabric that was listed as something like 100% cotton, but had “lana” (wool) in the name, smells like wet sheep when wet, and looks and feels as if it has a cotton (or other plant fiber) in the weft and wool in the warp.

Ho finito la gonna arricciata? ovviamente no (ci sono quasi però)

Ho iniziato a tagliare la fodera per il prossimo progetto? potrei :D

Con quella gonna ci vuole un corpetto, e stamattina avevo del tempo in cui potevo tagliare della stoffa e cucire al volo a macchina un provino.

Non sono sicura al 100% del risultato, forse dovrò togliere un po' di agio, ma la stoffa che userò era abbastanza economica¹ che credo che alla prossima occasione la taglierò, e al massimo sono sempre in tempo a stringerlo poi.

¹ una stoffa a sorpresa che era venduta come 100% cotone, aveva la parola lana nel nome, odora di pecora bagnata quando è bagnata e da l'impressione di avere l'ordito di cotone (o altre fibre vegetali) e la trama di lana.

Filed under #sewingPersonProblems and #selfInducedProblems

three out of four panels of the bodice have been lined, and I could now start assembling them and try it on.

except for the fact that I suspect that a better way to do it would be to finish the lacing eyelets before assembling the bodice. it's probably not that much of a difference, but I'm also writing down instructions, and I want to do things right.

and this means that I have to wait MOAR time to see how the bodice will look like!

tre pezzi su quattro del corpetto sono stati foderati, e potrei iniziare a cucirli assieme e provarlo.

se non fosse che sospetto che sia meglio rifinire gli occhielli sui pezzi separati, prima di avere tutto il corpetto assemblato. non credo che sia una differenza enorme, ma sto anche scrivendo delle istruzioni, e quindi preferisco fare le cose fatte bene.

ma questo significa che devo aspettare PIÙ tempo prima di vedere come sta venendo il corpetto!

@Vi 💙 ma sai che l'idea di imbastire non mi era neanche venuta in mente?

avevo imbastito (a macchina) la fodera, quindi un'idea che la taglia non sia completamente sbagliata ce l'ho, ma adesso che sono ad un punto in cui si può assemblare solo a mano non mi ero neanche posta il problema di poterlo fare in modo temporaneo :)

però è anche vero che per quanto poco tempo, è tutto tempo non passato facendo disperatamente occhielli :D

minor pain, overcomplaining

on Monday I knew I had to expect running to catch a couple of trains. I wasn't sure, but couldn't rule out being able running from the train to another place (including up and down some stairs) to be able to do one extra thing other than what I had to do.

*Why* did I decide to wear my highest heels¹?

Now, on *Wednesday* my right thigh is still hurting!

(Also, I love being in this kind of pain, because it gives me an excuse to complain :D )

¹ they aren't that high, and they are pretty comfortable as far as high heel shoes go, but I haven't been wearing them for a while, and I need to get back to being used to them.

Lunedì sapevo di dover correre per prendere un paio di treni. Non ero sicura di farcela, ma avevo la possibilità di correre dal treno ad un altro posto (compreso fare su e giù da delle scale) per riuscire ad infilare un'altra cosa oltre a quello che dovevo fare.

Oggi è *mercoledì*, e la mia coscia destra fa ancora male!

Periodic reminder that #sewing a 18th century style shirt completely by hand:

* doesn't require any expensive equipment;
* doesn't require any particular space;
* can be done with cheap materials;
* is easy enough that a (18th century) child can do it;

As someone who has been tracking and reporting on various kinds of censorship (using the word in its loosest sense) of adult materials on social media platforms for the last 15 years under the hashtag #pornocalypse, I agree with you wholeheartedly because it is EXTREMELY common for every kind of adult content and topic (and also LGBTQ+ discussion of every sort) to be suppressed as "spam".

New #sewing project started!

I'm making a folky-style cartridge-pleated skirt, from two (unmatched) curtains that have been probably sewn by my grandmother or her sister from what look like fabric remnants or something (they were pieced from multiple panels)

no pictures yet because I'm lazy and it's dark

also, the cartridge pleating needs to be done by hand, so of course I'm also sewing by hand all of the straight seams that could have easily be done by machine :D

Sto facendo una gonna arricciata¹ in stile vagamente folk, partendo da due tendine che probabilmente erano state cucite da mia nonna o da sua sorella usando degli avanzi di stoffa, dato che erano formate da pannelli cuciti assieme.

non ci sono foto perché sono pigra ed è già buio

ah, e la tecnica di arricciatura che uso si può fare solo a mano, quindi ovviamente sto cucendo a mano anche le cuciture dritte che si sarebbero potute tranquillamente fare a macchina.

The fabric has a bit of musty smell, but it's the smell of the house¹ it came from, so it feels almost nice. (and it's not *too much*, and I hope that by wearing and washing it multiple times it will go away)

also, as soon as I'll have finished sewing I'll have to patch a couple of tears in the fabric that I couldn't cut around, so basically pre-distressed clothing! how fashionable! :D (I'm waiting to do it afterwards to use whatever bits of fabric I'm left with. and also because I want to start sewing first :D )

La stoffa ha un leggero odore di umido, ma è l'odore della casa¹ da cui arriva, per qui fa quasi piacere. (e non è *troppo* intenso, e spero che indossandola e lavandola più volte vada via)

e tra l'altro, appena finito di cucire dovrò mettere delle toppe su un paio di strappi nella stoffa che non sono riuscita ad evitare, quindi fondamentalmente è abbigliamento pre-rovinato! così alla moda! (ho deciso di mettere le toppe alla fine perché così posso usare gli avanzi di stoffa,ma anche perché adesso volevo mettermi subito a cucire :D )

¹ per valori di “casa” che hanno un tetto, dei muri e perfino dei pavimenti. e acqua piovana in una cisterna con una pompa a mano, che esce da un comodo rubinetto, e persino un WC! e non molto altro :D non è più abitata da svariati decenni :D

Also, why have I decided to neaten the edges of the side seams with a prick stitch instead of a much faster hemstitch? The look from the right side is different, but not *that* different.

(and yes, I'm not using matching thread, because I didn't have any and I want to do this *completely* from the stash, rather than my recent rule of “main fabric from the stash, everything else is fair game”)

The wrong side of a seam, pressed open: on one side the raw allowance has been folded under and sewn down with somewhat irregular back stitches worked from the right side, on the other side there is a neat selvedge, and it has just sewn open with similar backstitches.

E tra l'altro, perché ho deciso di rifinire i margini di cucitura con un punto indietro spaziato anziché con il solito punto da orlo che è molto più veloce? Dal dritto l'aspetto è diverso, ma non *così* diverso.

(e sì, non sto usando filo in tinta, perché non ne avevo, e per questo progetto voglio usare solo cose che ho già, anziché la regola che sto usando di recente in cui devo già avere la stoffa principale, ma tutto il resto può essere acquistato)

Il retro di una cucitura stirata aperta: da una parte il margine di cucitura è stato piegato in sotto e cucito con dei punti indietro non troppo regolari, dall'altra parte c'è una bella cimossa, ed è stata solo cucita piatta con punti simili.

the facing sewn to the top of the skirt and pressed down towards the wrong side. except it has been sewn with the wrong side of the facing out.

this was my first experiment to use up tiny fabric scraps. i stuck the pieces together with water soluble fabric glue then sewed a grid over the fabric to secure, before washing off the glue. it’s since survived several wears and washes!

the process was tedious but on the upside it didn’t require a base fabric to sew on to. i would like to try other methods in future, could a flour paste replace the synthetic glue?

A pair of espadrille-style slippers in black denim with a shiny black design on the uppers and twine soles.

A couple of years ago, I made myself a pair of slippers in linen with a braided twine soleand then another pair of hiking slippers: I am happy to report that they have been mostly a success.

Now, as I feared, the white linen fabric wasn’t a great choice: not only it became dirt-grey linen fabric in a very short time, the area under the ball of the foot was quickly consumed by friction, just as it usually happens with bought slippers.

I have no pictures for a number of reasons, but trust me when I say that they look pretty bad.

The same slippers, one of them is turned upside down to show the sole made from a twine braid, sewn in a spiral until it is the shape of a sole.

However, the sole is still going strong, and the general concept has proved valid, so when I needed a second pair of slippers I used the same pattern, with a sole made from the same twinebut this time with denim taken from the legs of an old pair of jeans.

To make them a bit nicer, and to test the technique, I also added a design with a stencil and iridescent black acrylic paint (with fabric medium): I like the tone-on-tone effect, as it’s both (relatively) subtle and shiny.

A pair of open-heeled slippers in faded blue jeans.

Then, my partner also needed new slippers, and I wanted to make his too.

His preference, however, is for open heeled slippers, so I adjusted the pattern into a new one, making it from an old pair of blue jeans, rather than black as mine.

A braided twine sole, showing how an heel has been made in the same technique and sewn under the sole with blanket stitches.

He also finds completely flat soles a bit uncomfortable, so I made an heel with the same braided twine technique: this also seems to be working fine, and I’ve also added these instructions to the braided soles ones

Both of these have now been work for a few months: the jeans is working much better than the linen (which isn’t a complete surprise) and we’re both finding them comfortable, so if we’ll ever need new slippers I think I’ll keep using this pattern.

Now the plan is to wash the linen slippers, and then look into repairing them, either with just a new fabric inner sole + padding, or if washing isn’t as successful as I’d like by making a new fabric part in a different material and reusing just the twine sole. Either way they are going back into use.

On my quasi-blog: "Git without a forge"

chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath…

Most of my projects are hosted in bare git repositories on the web, and not on a forge site. I talk a bit about this: ways to send patches to a project like that (and which I personally prefer), and reasons why I haven't (yet?) changed my arrangements.

@ivanhoe as it happens, I've been using an instance of Review Board at work very recently! But it wasn't me who set it up, so I don't know either what its account-creation options are.

I haven't really got used to it yet. One thing I keep getting caught out by is the way almost everything I do with it is entered as "draft" status, and I have to press "Publish" to let anyone else see it. I've had several code reviews delayed for a week recently when I thought I was waiting for the reviewer to respond to my comment and/or patch update, and it turned out they were waiting for me to press the green button I'd forgotten!

HoldMyType

your patches ve refs , which translates to git commits
You have non 0 worktrees , which is and alternative to git branch
You push to publish , thats ci - automation ( with automation with easier for me to pull the set of changes in your changes till the next tag of ypur repo and i can contend does that tag , stable / release etc work on my machine , if i collaborate and raide an issue )
Not the slight difference from regular workflow
is , git Format:
git-format-patch adds data about a commit (date, author, commit message , but you do get that with git reflog) and bundles it up into a format that is suitable for sending as a Unix mail message (although these are just files, so they can be sent to other methods and still applied by git-am).

Also git-format-patch generates a patch file for each commit in the range that you specify. These changes will be added as commits to your repository with git-am.
Can you tell me how traversing files to track changes is simpler than traversing a graph for changes ?

Same question for traversing issues

If you're ever taking trains in Europe, please checkout Chuuchuu:
chuuchuu.com

It's a great site that uses historical train delay data to better estimate good train rates and realistic transfer windows between trains and such.

It seems like a must have to me but doesn't seem to be that popular yet

EDIT: they're on fedi now! Go follow: @chuuchuu

Oggi l'universo mi ha fatto ricordare l'esistenza di un #treno suburbano quotidiano che viaggia da subito dentro la pianura Padana (Malpensa) all'ultimo paese significativo prima del passo / vecchio tunnel ferroviario del Gottardo (Airolo)

Per qualche valore di suburbano :D

roman concrete being "rediscovered" for the 17th time is beginning to become a pet peeve for me, especially now that I've actually learned about the real history of roman concrete and how at literally no point in history between then and now has the recipe ever actually been lost. like we've known the recipe for it all along. we didn't always understand the mechanism behind its strength, but we already figured the fundamentals of it out decades ago, not like last year

[edit: I should also have mentioned the "self-healing" thing; roman concrete can withstand minor cracking and recover some of its strength over time, in the presence of water. it basically redissolves slightly and then fuses together due to having, essentially, what function as unactivated cement inclusions. it's not just that it's strong enough to last 2000 years, it has other significant properties that give it longevity. still, I first heard about the quicklime thing years ago, and afaik it wasn't actually a properly new discovery even then. and you can't combine the self-healing with rebar, so it has to be unreinforced]

roman concrete is just expensive and requires specific materials only found on the italian peninsula, and basically nobody is building roman-style permanent monumental structures (and most failures in concrete buildings are actually caused by rust, the concrete could last much longer if used by itself and in compression-only strain) so people use portland cement instead.

portland cement is extremely cheap and works well enough and usually already lasts longer than the rest of the building, and its properties are easily controlled with additives. also, roman concrete takes way longer to cure and become fully load-bearing than portland cement, and unreinforced concrete structures are massive and heavy. plus we can drain an area for underwater construction nowadays, the romans didn't have that option and needed concrete that could cure underwater

of course portland cement is also one of the biggest CO2 emitters so we can't just carry on like this forever, so it's a bit like plastic in that respect: it's a wonder material that we're highly dependent on that if we keep on using will destroy our ecosystem. but tbh I just don't think roman concrete is the solution, at least for 95%+ of our current concrete use

It's not that. The volumes involved are staggering. Fibreglass rebars suck, also: not very stiff, and brittle.

You can have stainless steel rebars, and they're not used partly because it's 4x the cost, but also because they're super painful to form. They are used in marine applications.

In reality, with a thick enough concrete cover (as per the norms) rebars never rust (out of the sea).

Dear craftingverse,

does anybody have an *EU* source for #wearableElectronic materials such as conductive thread? up to now I've bought it from the Italian branch of an US distributor, which took care of not having to pay VAT to the postman, but still counts as buying from the US for, let's call them other reasons.

I am a candidate for the “Affiliate” seat in the 2025 #OpenSource Initiative (OSI) Board of Directors election.

I am running on a Shared Platform for OSI Reform with @richardfontana

You can read that shared platform here: codeberg.org/OSI-Reform-Platfo…

I will post news and updates about the campaign here and on this blog post (that will be updated regularly until the voting closes):

I'd like to take a step back & design the right structure. I'd prefer a non-partisan “Appeals Court” model for this, triggered by written appeal requests, rather than blanket review done in same manner as the original license approvals.

IOW, I hope OSI'll establish a check-and-balance procedure on the entire existing license review process.

But I'm open minded on the methods & means: Glad to discuss more if I'm elected!

I'm flabbergasted at how many important volunteer opportunities at #OSI mandate proprietary software use.
It's hard to avoid proprietary software in nonprofit management but FOSS nonprofits should make accommodations for staff & volunteers who refuse on ethical grounds. FOSS orgs mandating proprietary software is akin to an animal rights org requiring staff to eat meat for lunch.
