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.
BRB, need to add MOAR stickerses.
I've just realized that there is a small container of leftover polenta: should I dress-up in my still-not-finished folk-style dress before reheating it for breakfast?
(nope, it's already being reheated)

There are no known security issues with "Siacs OMEMO" / OMEMO v0.3¹ despite of what some very loud Signal fans would like you to believe. It has been audited by a third party² who took a longer look at it than all of the Signal fans combined.
Yes, #OMEMO v0.7+ (or TWOMEMO 😜) is a cleaner spec with more features (most notably Stanza Content Encryption). That’s why we wrote it. I’m a co-author. That doesn’t mean v0.3 is insecure.

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

intanto su #trenord. attivi un biglietto da carnet su un browser, dagli altri browser non lo si vede. (avvisavano che non lo si vede da app).
e poi, ti rimane bloccata l'attivazione di altri biglietti, spero solo fino alla scadenza del primo, perche' non vuoi anche prendere il treno del ritorno, vero?

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.)

the cartridge pleated skirt is almost done, only requires a patch on a small tear I couldn't cut around, but I need some sewing thread in a different colour from what I already have.
the bodice is done, I've worn it today, it's good (other than a small change I want to make to the pattern for the next time).
When I'll have some time with no rain at a time when I can take pictures I will, and then there will be a blog post.
So, now, I suddenly found myself with no #handsewing project in progress¹, and that can't do!
¹ ok, there is one. I don't want to pick that one up right now

@🧊 freezr 🥶 stavo pensando più alla pessima fama dell'ultimo re di roma, e agli imperatori (che a causa di quella pessima fama si sono sempre assicurati di far sapere a tutti che loro *non erano assolutamente* dei re — ma di fatto avevano riaccentrato tutti i poteri rilevanti), e a quanto un cattivo imperatore riuscisse a causare disastri
poi non so come fosse l'equilibrio dei poteri nell'impero romano d'oriente, durante il medioevo, credo più accentrato rispetto a molti stati dell'europa occidentale
(ah, e ovviamente le monarchie europee attuali, al massimo con una rilevante eccezione, rientrano pienamente nel caso di poteri opportunamente suddivisi)
Gli imperatori Romani erano assoluti, sebbene fare l'imperatore era un rischio perché si moriva piuttosto facilmente e nessuno si scandalizzava per un imperatore assassinato... 😁

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

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;
* probably takes less time than you think.
