Fatemi un favore… venite a farvi regalare qualche quintale di fondi taglio di compensato, truciolato e laminato!
Se anche venite con un Ducato passo lungo e lo riempite a tappo non riuscirete a liberarmi l'officina da tutto quello che mi regalano e che non so più dove mettere!

@Troppacaffeina postcrossing è un sito dove si può caricare un indirizzo dove si riceve posta cartacea, schisciando un bottone sul sito si riceve l'indirizzo di un utente a caso a cui spedire una cartolina e quando questa arriva (e viene registrata come arrivata dal destinatario) il proprio indirizzo viene messo nel pool tra cui pescare, e prima o poi si riceve una cartolina da un altro utente a caso.
osmcards è la stessa cosa, ma per chi ha un account su openstreetmap (e per ora c'è pochissima gente, credo che non sia stato pubblicizzato molto), e in più permette anche di ottenere indirizzi non a caso, se l'utente destinatario l'ha permesso.

“Math is not my favorite thing, but it does underlie my favorite results. For, you see, math is the language of the universe. Math answers the question of why some notes harmonize and others don't, why some shapes please and others don't, why some buildings stand for centuries and others fall down after a decade. Math is behind ferns and shells and great works of architecture having the same proportions. Mathematical failures are why ugly things are ugly, bridges fail, and quilts are crooked.”

A couple of years ago I bought a small square + protractor like the one in the picture, and LOVED it.
And then, one day it disappeared. I knew it was somewhere in the home, but couldn't find it anywhere. So when I had a chance I bought a new one.
Yesterday evening I wanted to check something in the Corsets and Crinolines book. and it felt strange, as if it had something rigid in it, and I wondered what piece of cardboard or something I had used as a bookmark the last time I used it.
You can all see where this is going, right? :D

Does anybody know what the current situation is with CC-0 licensed #clipart websites?
openclipart.org seems to be back, is it still the old openclipart or has it been taken over by somebody else?
What about the two mirrors I know of that appeared when openclipart died? are they the recommended ones? freesvg.org/ and permaclipart.org/ ? is there something else?
Has anybody started a huge git repository of clipart that is shared via sneakernet by meeting graphic designers in car parks and other similar shady places? :D

In the surviving examples of historical clothing it's pretty common to see sewing allowances that are just pinked, or quickly overcast, or sometimes even left unfinished.
Which is why I'm taking my time to slowly herringbone down the allowances on the (five) back seams of this jacket, right?

@göktuğ, of the orien't out of interested curiosity: the head covering in weirder.earth/@cadxdr/10893700… is the same as the one in e.g. live.staticflickr.com/3073/273… ?
(i.e. the style my mother doesn't want me to wear because it makes me look like a grandmother :D )
@göktuğ, of the orien't apparently, making the knot at the back at the head instead of the front is perfectly fine for a young person (or a not-so-young, but still not grandmother age like me), instead :D
(this is a town in the north of Italy, and my mother is born in the 1950s, btw, if somebody was wondering)

I'm really happy with it because I've had quite a hard time finding detailed instructions for this time period: for the earlier pirate-style shirt there are plenty of articles (and a certain video), but this doesn't seem to be as common.

And when I end the instructions by saying “start making the rest of the half dozen” I really mean it :D
I'm not going to actually make myself half a dozen shirts, because I don't dress like a victorian gentleman every day :D , but I already have a cut of thin, red wool fabric waiting for me to turn it into a shirt :D

Status update on the 1880 gentleman's shirt.
After discovering that I had cut the sleeves wrong and keeping the project on hold for a while, I've resumed working on it, re-cutting and re-sewing the sleeves.
I've finished one of the sleeves and it's ready to be attached to the body.
The other sleeve is almost completely done, except for the fact that I maaaay have lost one of the cuffs. Tomorrow I'll try to look for it again, or I'll surrender and cut another one :(
At least one sleeve is enough to take the remaining pictures , so that when I'm not sewing I can keep working on the pattern and hopefully publish it in the near future.
Work in progress picture from an hour or so ago:

One of the things I love to have learned early on, is the difference between liking a thing, and liking the idea of that thing.
Example: I love the idea of a bohemian life style, the artsy writer, living in a metropol in a messy place, attending weird parties and vibing with the city.
And for a short time, I thought, I wanted that. But that lifestyle would make me miserable. I'm noise sensitive. I need stability. Alone time.
It applies to so many things.

The pattern for the rain-inducing shorts has finally been
sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/…
ok, published. sort of. without a finished object picture.
because when I cut that pair, I cut one of the legs wrong, and it's shorter than the other one :( (they are fine for wearing, since they aren't visible anyway)
I will add more pictures when I'll make a new pair, but right now I don't think I'll need them short term.

I've searched and couldn't find anything: do you happen to know whether there is an easy way to generate a #zim archive out of a #sphinx site? maybe a sphinx extension?
Or maybe it isn't really needed because most sphinx sites can be exported to a single pdf file, and that's convenient enough for #offline use?
Oh, well I should also store a fair #laptop, some #network gear and #photovoltaic cells into a strong #faradaycage in case of a #EMP attack.😅

So, while it isn't in the budget this month, I have a weird thing I may want to commission, if I can find the right artist/artisan.
I'm looking at pens. Specifically a nice dip pen nib holder that I would use for ink drawings. Straight and not oblique.
I don't know of any woodworking creators on the fediverse, though, and I was wondering if there's anyone with the right skill set here?
I'd love to have a unique and interesting drawing pen made.

I tend to favor ink drawings myself, with calligraphy pens being my favorite tool for it, though I'm not very skilled at calligraphy. I've done a bit with foundational hand, though it's been a long while.
I think I also remember @welshpixie doing some calligraphy (and some really cool mandalas as well), if you want to check out what she does.
My SO is sleeping (siesta time), so for about one hour his chair is free.
What I want to have done in this hour is to continue my inventory of fabric (using his chair as a convenient place to hold it).

quello si può all'incirca fare: la query diventa qualcosa tipo ```colour:brown AND length > 120 AND width > 180```, purché si siano configurato i campi length e width come sortable (che non è il default perché avere troppi campi sortable influenza le prestazioni)
che io sappia non si può fare una query tipo ```lenght = null``` (di solito per quelli finisco per usare grep :D )

@Bevilacqua Gustavino uops, I didn't realize you wrote in en...
that can be done, the query becomes something like ```colour:brown AND length > 120 AND width > 180```, as long as the length and width have been configured as sortable (which is not the default because too many sortable fields influence performance).
afaik it isn't possible to have a query like ```length = null``` (usually when I need something like that I use grep :D )
@Bevilacqua Gustavino I've found that for this kind of applications in most cases, having free text search with stemming is more useful than querying for none, so I think that the tradeoff is worth.
In theory, I could probably write an additional backend to index the data also in an sqlite database for that kind of queries, but I've never felt enough of a need for it to actually *do* it :D

valhalla vs the gentleman's shirt round 2
the sleeves that were too small and made me stop working on the shirt for a while weren't a failed experiment in how narrow I could cut them, they were cut wrong as compared to the size I had planned to cut on the notes.
a second pair of sleeves has been cut.
the first pair is just too narrow at the cuff, but I believe can work on the arm; I will probably be able to use them on a chemise or something, I'm not sure if I want to cut them so that they are 3/4, or leave them long and use a closure that doesn't need any overlap.
