I think I'm officially insane, but
new project started: a new backpack, completely sewn by hand,
because I have the fabric (off white coated cotton canvas), and I do have some thread suitable for sewing backpacks by machine, but it's black (and afaik they don't make it in any other colour), or I have some sturdy linen thread in the right colour, but it doesn't go in the machine.
Fabric has been cut, I'll finish this herbal tea and then I'll try to sew it and see how it will work.

Today I have been wondering whether there are mechanical pencils (for 2 mm leads) in the shape of a carpenter pencil, and apparently if they exist they aren't easy to find online.
And now I wonder how hard it would be to take something cheap like eshop.koh-i-noor.eu/_c62812608… , take the mechanism out (that's the easy part, I've just checked on mine and it's easy), and then either 3d-print or machine a carpenter pencil-shaped case for it.
(Not that I'd *need* it. I probably would have no use for it. But it would be cool if somebody did it :D )
Oggi mi son chiesta se esistano dei portamine (per le mine da 2 mm) a forma di matita da muratore / falegname, e a quanto pare se anche esistono non si trovano facilmente online.
E adesso mi sto chiedendo quanto complicato sia prendere qualcosa di economico tipo eshop.koh-i-noor.eu/_c62812608… , tirar fuori il meccanismo (questa è la parte facile, ci ho appena provato con la mia ed è banale) e poi stampare 3d o lavorare nel metallo un nuovo corpo di forma piatta.
(Non che mi serva. Non me ne farei niente. Ma sarebbe bello se qualcuno lo facesse :D )

Metti che una mattina ti viene il bisogno di avere l'elenco dei capoluoghi di provincia e relative posizioni.
E ti viene in mente che queste informazioni su openstreetmap già ci sono. Come fare a estrarle?
Apro il sito overpass-turbo (overpass-turbo.eu/), e vedo che c'è già un esempio che cerca le fontanelle. Ok, sembra semplice, ma se devo fare qualcosa di più complicato?
Guardo in alto e vedo nel menu "Wizard". Permette di generare query complicate partendo da descrizioni semplici in inglese. Con tanto di esempi di ricerche più complicate. Un veloce giro sulla wiki di openstreetmap per vedere i campi giusti per la query, guardo gli attributi di qualche città a caso per vedere qualche esempio e arrivo a questa:
(place=city or place=town) and (capital=2 or capital=4 or capital=6) in italy
e la query generata è:
[out:json][timeout:25];
// fetch area “italy” to search in
{{geocodeArea:italy}}->.searchArea;
// gather results
(
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="2"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="4"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="city"]["capital"="6"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="2"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="4"](area.searchArea);
nwr["place"="town"]["capital"="6"](area.searchArea);
);
// print results
out geom;
Che fondamentalmente vuol dire, città con più di 10.000 abitanti e che siano capoluoghi di provincia(6) / regione(4) /stato(2).
A questo punto il tutto può essere salvato in un file json.
Prossimo passo: usare jq per estrarre solo le informazioni che mi servono.

luckily @Diego Roversi was reading in bed because he couldn't sleep, and I had just half-opened one eye enough to see the light from his ebook reader (and then closed it again, but had not completely fallen asleep yet), so it wasn't as traumatic as it could have been.

Does anyone know of an online library of open license, interposed, print-ready books?
I've been bookbinding copies of copyleft books you can only get as PDFs, and helping some authors and a game dev group I know make their books available as binding-ready files.
Is there already a site for them somewhere? If not, it's something I'll try to do, eventually
I know prepping the files is part of the fun but if it lowers the barrier for entry for bookbinding I think it's worth it

fwiw, here's the open source tool that I use that makes the prepping very easy: momijizukamori.github.io/bookb…
No need to install anything, it does the PDF processing right inside your browser. No servers involved either, works offline.
@foosel that's funny, that's exactly the one I use! (It's nice to know that part matches even if I have a ton to learn elsewhere) I was amazed at how easy it made things.
I've only done one TTRPG in the past (they published my interposed files and someone made one!) I've been binding my softcover books as if they're hardcovers, signatures and all, and gluing them into canvas printed with a plotter printer. How did you do the cover for yours? The glossy paper/cardstock looks very professional!
Oh, softcover binding with signatures that way is something I still need to try 😀
The cover on my core of The Perilous Void was just some 200gsm card stock I have here, originally bought for printing photos on. It has a bit of a matte finish. I printed it and the text block (which I used basic 80gsm paper for) on my colour laser.
Most of the books I so far case-bound as hard covers with cloth, and then used the vinyl cutter to put the title on cover and spine.
I have some larger books full of random tables (Starsmith and Ancient Wonders) that are too thick to ring bind, so I'm looking into binding options that lay almost as flat as ring binding for them - nicer to look up things on a D100 table that way imho.
Want to try Coptic and Sewn Board for that.
@foosel Prepping the files is a barrier - I wasn't aware of that Bookbinder tool, that looks pretty neat.
I wrote up the steps I used of prepping an epub file for print, some it it may be of interest for this exercise, I used command line tools:
hotelexistence.ca/printing-and…
If I were to do it again, I'd definitely check out that Bookbinder, it looks like it would get around all the command line steps.
I wanted a hard copy of an eBook I had that is out of print. There are many resources out there for binding books. Many recommend using acid free PVA glue.Richard Audette (xxxx)

The words 'fiction' and 'dough' derive from the same root.
They stem from a Proto-Indo-European root that meant "to shape" and "to mould".
'Fiction' came to English through Latin and French. Its meaning now denotes something that's shaped by the mind.
'Dough', something that's kneaded, was inherited from Germanic.

10 minutes ago the sun had not set yet, so I started to solder the few bits left so that we could finish the project we had been working on in the afternoon (after buying the last bits we needed this morning).
it is now 21:40, and I've finished soldering 10 minutes ago. It's definitely too dark to do any outside work.
I haven't tested anything, and I've already covered everything in heatshrink (it's all cables and pin headers, nothing expensive in case I have to redo everything from scratch).
10 minuti fa il sole non era ancora tramontato, quindi ho iniziato a saldare le ultime cose in modo da poter finire il progetto su cui abbiamo lavorato nel corso del pomeriggio (dopo aver comprato le ultime cose che ci servivano stamattina).

As for the things I soldered yesterday night, half of them aren't in use because the waterproof box we wanted to use is too small :(
We may find another box, or buy one in the next few weeks.
For the time being, we've used some dupont cables to connect the main sensor to the ESP32C3 board, and got an *interesting* behaviour: the board was sending data from the sensor, but it was *always the same value*. Data for the internal battery level sensor was changing at every measurement, as expected.
We opened the stevenson box, changed the sensor with another identical one. same behaviour.
We opened the waterproof box to bring the board inside and do more tests, and found that the dupont cable for the sensor ground was disconnected. But it was still managing to send data, only it was the *wrong* data.
Reconnected the ground, it seems to be working.
Quanto alle cose saldate ieri sera, metà non sono in uso perché la scatoletta stagna che volevamo usare è troppo piccola :(
Forse ne troveremo un'altra, o al massimo ne compreremo una tra qualche settimana.
Per ora abbiamo usato dei cavi dupont per collegare il sensore pricipale alla schedina con ESP32C3, e abbiamo avuto un comportamento *interessante*: la schedina stava inviando i dati presi dal sensore, ma era *sempre lo stesso valore*. I dati del sensore di carica della batteria (interno) cambiavano leggermente ad ogni misura, come atteso.
Abbiamo aperto lo schermo di stevenson, cambiato il sensore con un altro uguale. stesso comportamento.
Abbiamo aperto la scatoletta stagna per portare in casa la schedina e fare ulteriori test, e scoperto che il cavo dupont del ground verso il sensore era scollegato. Ma riusciva comunque a mandare dei dati, solo dati *sbagliati*.
Ricollegato il ground, sembra funzionare.

Yesterday and today, the whole of Spain, Portugal and parts of France, and possibly as per some reports, parts of Italy and Belgium lost their power inexplicably. Italy and Belgium reports might have been spurious. This happened about 12:30 local time here in Spain.
The power was out for about 14 hours here, a bit less for some areas as they brought up the grid piece by piece.
The mobile base stations were the first to go.
We have solar panels and batteries which carry over the night, and it was a sunny day, so we maintained power here in the house over the event.
This Mastodon instance was inaccessible for 11 hours, because apparently the fiber optic substations lost their emergency battery power after 6 hours or so, and the final internet connection we had was cut.
There is still no conclusive determination for what happened or why. It seems the most likely explanation currently is some sort of an atmospheric event causing resonance in the electric grid.
elpais.com/economia/2025-04-28…
At night, our house was pretty much the only one with power. The other lights visible in the photo are largely cars and flashlights. We still have our Christmas lights in the yard...
The stars were well visible in the sky.
So, lessons learned:
1. Apocalypses (or pseudo-apocalypses) don't necessarily come with a bang. They come with an eery silence and darkness, and no one knows what is happening.
2. I am still unable to play my local Plex series with the good TV, because everything seems to require internet connectivity for no good reasons. I can play them with my phone and on laptop (but with proprietary codecs and without hardware accelerations it's in practice impossible). Playstation Plex simply refuses to function without internet.
3. Don't run multiple high power cooking appliances at once because it overloads the inverter.
4. The house water pump isn't in the emergency power circuit, which is inconvenient and needs fixing.
5. Need to have physical keys for things easily available, and not hidden in places you'd look in the last.
6. Even if the local internet networks would still work, if the global networks aren't available the ISPs happily just cut off all the networks and don't even try to maintain just local networks for convenient local emergency communications purposes. Ditto for electricity.

Years ago I made myself a quick dressing gown from a white fleece IKEA throw and often wore it in the morning between waking up and changing into day clothes.
One day I want to make myself a fancy victorian wrapper, to use in its place, but that’s still in the early planning stage, and will require quite some work.
Then last autumn I discovered that the taxes I owed to the local lord (who provides protection from mice and other small animals) included not just a certain amount of kibbles, but also some warm textiles, and the dressing gown (which at this time was definitely no longer pristine) had to go.
For a while I had to do without a dressing gown, but then in the second half of this winter I had some time for a quick machine sewing project. I could not tackle the big victorian thing, but I still had a second POLARVIDE throw from IKEA (this time in a more sensible dark grey) I had bought with sewing intents.
The fabric in a throw isn’t that much, so I needed something pretty efficient, and rather than winging it as I had done the first time I decided I wanted to try the Modular Jacket from A Year of Zero Waste Sewing (which I had bought in the zine instalments: the jacket is in the March issue).
After some measuring and decision taking, I found that I could fit most of the pieces and get a decent length, but I had no room for the collar, and probably not for the belt nor the pockets, but I cut all of the main pieces. I had a possible idea for a contrasting collar, but I decided to start sewing the main pieces and decide later, before committing to cutting the other fabric.
As I was assembling the jacket I decided that as a dressing gown I could do without the collar, and noticed that with the fraying-free plastic fleece I didn’t really need the front facings, so I cut those in half lengthwise, pieced them together, and used them as binding to finish the front end.
Since I didn’t have enough fabric for the belt I also skipped the belt loops, but I have been wearing this with random belts and I don’t feel the need for them anyway. I’ve also been thinking about adding a button just above the bust and use that to keep it closed, but I’m still not 100% sure about it.
Another thing I still need to do is to go through the few scraps of fleece that are left and see if I can piece together a serviceable pocket or two.
Because of the size of the fabric, I ended up having quite long sleeves: I’m happy with them because they mean that I can cover my hands when it’s cold, or fold them back to make a nice cuff.
If I’ll make a real jacket with this patter I’ll have to take this in consideration, and either make the sleeves shorter or finish the seam in a way that looks nice when folded back.
Will I make a real jacket? I’m not sure, it’s not really my style of outer garment, but as a dressing gown it has already been used quite a bit (as in, almost every morning since I’ve made it :) ) and will continue to be used until too worn to be useful, and that’s a good thing.

After just a few years of procrastination, I’ve given a wash ofgit-filter-repo to the repository where I keep my hexagonal sticker designs, removed a few failed experiments and stuff with dubious licensing and was able to finally publish it among my public git repositories
This repo includes the template I’m using, most of the stickers I’ve had printed, some that have been published elsewhere and have been printed by other people, as well as some that have never been printed and I may or may not print in the future.
The licensing details are in the metadata of each file, and mostly depend on the logos or cliparts used. Most, but not all, are under a free culture license.
My server is not setup to correctly serve the SVG files, yet: downloading them (from the “plain” links) should work, but I need to fix the content type that is provided. I will probably procrastinate doing it for quite some time, but eventually it will be done. Of course cloning the repository from the public https URL also works.

Is there a non-US marketplace where one can find sewing patterns? In other words, not Etsy.

Asked my wife and she doesn't know a marketplace, but buys from a few sellers. She suggests
- ellieandmac.com/pages/about-el…
- pattydoo.de/en (mostly in German however)
- stylearc.com/
She mostly buys pdf patterns and then does magic with a projector. Honestly, pure magic...
@Liminal witch 🧙♀️ Sarah I don't know of a marketplace, but I can recommend at least one indie designer and a couple other hopefully useful websites
the one indie designer I've bought (and actually sewn¹ :D ) more pattern from is scroop patterns / the dreamstress, who is not in the US (she's in NZ), and sells directly from her site
scrooppatterns.com/
of course that's just a handful of specific looks
There is another indie I've bought something from, Liz Haywood from AU, but she sells via etsy. :(
Then there is freesewing.org/ (free as in #freeSoftWear) that aren't traditional patterns, but made-to-measure ones and work in a bit of a different way. They have published freesewing.org/blog/us-and-eu/ on the topic of getting away from the US, and are here on the fediverse.
And lastly I follow a blog (the author is in the UK) that does reviews of free patterns: many are from the websites of indie designers (other from bigger sites) and may be a good source for additional sources of patterns.
¹ they aren't a lot because I enjoy drafting my own patterns

If 8 people are coming for a festive lunch, almost 5 kg is a perfectly reasonable amount of flour to bake into bread-like substances, right?
(I have reasons. some of it is omnivore¹ kibble, i.e. knackebrot, that I'm making mostly for myself for the next month or so. some I expect to be taken away together with the leftovers, and some freezes just nicely.)
¹ as opposed to obligate carnivores

eight (8) trays of knackebrot have been rolled on the pasta machine¹, cooked, and are now drying in the oven at a lower temperature.

otto (8) teglie di knackebrot sono state stese con la macchinetta della pasta¹, cotte e stanno asciugando nel forno a bassa temperatura.
ci sono volute due persone² e siamo entrambi morti :D

iniziato un nuovo progetto: uno zaino completamente cucito a mano.
perché ho la stoffa (cotone rivestito in color naturale) e ho del filo adatto per cucire gli zaini a mano, ma è nero (e mi risulta che lo facciano solo in quel colore), oppure ho del filo robusto di lino nel colore giusto, ma che non si può usare a macchina.
La stoffa è stata tagliata, finisco questa tisana provo a cucire e vedo come va.

Comunque mi pare un progetto grandioso, almeno lo zaino è della misura giusta (come il laptop, vero?).

una foto l'ho fatta, ma io sono qui, la macchina fotografica è di là... poi magari le scarico e la posto, o magari domani O:-)
comunque... 30 cm × 42 cm × 10 cm è la misura giusta? :D

Come misura dovrebbe andare.
Magari 1 cm in più, così ci puoi mettere una cartellina formato A3 con un minimo di gioco.

And while I have made a general plan, I am trying to avoid thinking too much about the steps past the one I'm doing and the next, for my own sanity :D

E ho un piano generale, ma sto cercando di evitare di pensare troppo ai passi successivi, per la mia salute mentale :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •current status: I've finished attaching the webbing to the back panel, assembled one shoulder strap and started sewing it to the top of said panel.
I have already cut the closure webbing ready to go at the center top, but I need to make the other shoulder strap before I can finish that top seam.
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •stauts attuale: ho finito di attaccare i nastri al pannello posteriore, preparato uno spallaccio e ho iniziato a cucirlo in cima al suddetto pannello.
Ho già tagliato il nastro per la chiusura, da cucire in alto al centro, ma devo preparare l'altro spallaccio prima di poter finire quella cucitura.

Did I mention I was taking pictures, so I tried to do one of each to be able to take more pictures when the light was good, and then keep the second to do possibly in the evening or so? :D
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •A parte quello, la mattina è stata abbastanza produttiva e ho fatto foto dei passaggi in cui attaccavo la chiusura e assemblavo e attaccavo la cinghia dello spallaccio.
Ho detto che stavo scattando foto, quindi mi sono concentrata sul fare uno di ciascuna cosa per fare più foto finché c'era luce, in modo da poter fare il secondo alla sera o simili?
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •This is what it looked like at the end of this morning
now the other shoulder strap is also attached, and the second lower strap is half-attached, but I had to stop for dinner.
the back panel is almost done!

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •Questo è l'aspetto che aveva alla fine della mattinata
adesso anche l'altro spallaccio è attaccato, e la cinghia sotto è attaccata a metà, ma ho dovuto interrompermi per la cena.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •In the long weekend I didn't have much time to sew, but one side seam is sewn and felled
it was a bit slower than I expected, but there is only four of them, and I've just started the second
And I've just realized that I should also finish attaching the closure to the front panel, or I won't be ready to do the last two vertical seams when I've finished this one.
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •Nel weekend lungo non ho avuto molto tempo per cucire, ma una cucitura del fianco è cucita e ribattuta(?).
È stato un po' più lento di quanto mi aspettassi, ma ce ne sono solo quattro, e ho iniziato la seconda.
E mi sono resa conto adesso che dovrei anche finire di attaccare la chiusura al pannello davanti, altrimenti una volta finita questa cucitura verticale non sono pronta per le altre due.

rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •Domanda tecnica da inesperto: cosa si intende per "cucitura ribattuta"?
Che magari è pure una cosa che faccio senza sapere che si chiama così.
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua • •@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua non sono sicura al 100% che in italiano si chiami così, ma è quando si fa una cucitura di due pezzi di stoffa, si apre la cucitura piatta, poi si piega uno dei due margini di cucitura sopra all'altro in modo da coprire tutti i margini vivi
a quel punto se si sta cucendo a macchina si fa una seconda cucitura dritta vicino alla piega, visibile sia dal dritto che dal rovescio, ed è la tipica cucitura dei jeans
se invece si sta cucendo a mano si fa una seconda cucitura lungo la piega usando il punto da orlo invisibile, e dal dritto praticamente non si vede
è un tipo di cucitura che rimane piatta *e* più robusta della cucitura normale stirata aperta, quindi è utile sia nella biancheria (per non avere pezzi sballonzolanti che sfregano) che nei capi da lavoro (che devono essere robusti) che in cose come gli zaini perché da anche un po' di struttura.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •the bottom has been attached!
I'm currently felling the seams of the bottom, but I may have briefly tried the backpack on before I started doing so O:-)
now I want to add a reinforcement to the bottom, sewn to the outside so that if it gets really grubby and can't be washed it can hopefully be replaced, and then there is just hemming the top and finishing some of the straps.
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •la base è attaccata!
Sto surgettando :) le cuciture della base, ma potrei prima aver provato ad indossare lo zaino brevemente O:-)
poi voglio aggiungere un rinforzo alla base, cucito all'esterno in modo da poterlo sperabilmente sostituire in caso diventi lercio e non si riesca a lavarlo, e poi mi manca solo l'orlo in alto e rifinire un paio di cinghie.
Elena ``of Valhalla''
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •it looks like a backpack!
this afternoon I've done more than half of the hem, so I think I'll finish it this evening (if I don't get distracted by squirrels), and then the only bit that is missing is finishing the straps.
and writing the instructions, and the blog post.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •ha la faccia di uno zaino!
questo pomeriggio ho cucito più di metà dell'orlo, credo che stasera lo finirò (se non vengo distratta dagli scoiattoli), e poi l'unica cosa che manca è rifinire le cinghie.

Unknown parent • •@ilario lol, no, no, sto cucendo a mano :D (vedi il primo post sui dubbi sulla mia salute mentale)
però la mia macchina da cucire è una singer heavy duty, casalinga anche se non il modello base, e ci ho cucito cose simili (probabilmente peggio) anche senza macchina professionale
edit: “non il modello base” nel senso che non è una macchina casalinga modello entry level più economico possibile, non nel senso che non è il modello base delle singer heavy duty (lo è, ce ne sono altre con più punti))
Elena ``of Valhalla''
Unknown parent • •@Kermode I don't think I've ever seen how that would look like, but for a backpack it may also be a reasonable look?
I guess it's pretty sturdy, right?
Elena ``of Valhalla''
Unknown parent • •@Kermode usually it's considered quite important to match the strength of the thread to the strength of the fabric, and if a precise match isn't possible to have thread that is *weaker* than the fabric, so that it won't tear it (resewing when thread breaks is always easier than having to mend / patch the fabric *and* resewing it)
of course if the fabric is some kind of abrasion resistant work-clothing synthetic, I see no reason not to use fishing line (other than possibly hand health issues for the seamstress)
