Filed under: I don't really need another #craft project, right?
I've received a piece of vintage lace, of a type that would work nicely on a petticoat ruffle.
While handsewing the linen shirt I'm working on, I've also started to think that the same fabric would also be nice for a petticoat or a petticoat+corset cover combination (and I have enough for it).
But such a garment doesn't call for just a bit of lace at the hem, it calls for some lace on the ruffles, some insertion (and pintucks, dere vill be pintucks), and while of course I have a box of lace of various kinds, I don't have enough for that project.
However, the more I think about it, rather than wanting to look for enough matching lace in the stores, I'm tending towards going for a mix-and-match of looks, joined together by a theme of having some history.
So I'm using some lace that I've been given by different people, and then I want to puppy-eye my mother into doing some crochet lace for me, but then I thought that maybe I should also do some myself.
And thus, yesterday I asked my mother to teach me filet #crochet, I did the bigger square-ish under her guide, and then I've started a sampler band, starting with the simplest pattern to get myself to learn the right tension, and then trying various patterns as I go, until I finish the leftover of crochet lace appropriate yarn I've found in her stash.
I don't have any source on historical people doing something like this, but it's underwear, the silhouette will be correct, and nobody needs to know how it looks (other than the people who will see the pictures here on the fediverse :D )
ETA for the project: maybe a couple of years? Don't hold your collective breaths :D

One thing that bothers me while #sewing is trimming the sewing allowances: I understand that having wider allowances makes it easier to sew by machine, but all those strips of fabric waste hurt my feeling even if they end up as stuffing and not in a dump.
So, what I tend to do when sewing french seams is not to sew with half the seam allowance, but sew the first seam at a bit less than that and the second seam at a bit more.
And for flat-felled seams, I tend to cut the fabric with double allowance on just one side, and align the other side at one allowance of distance, as in the picture.
It doesn't really change anything, it's not like I can fit more pieces in the same fabric by saving that 6 mm strip, but it helps my OCD :D
I believe it was the norm in old sewing manuals, but I can't be bothered to look for the source right now, sorry

I took a picture of the test I did with the posca pen, ironed, and then thrown in the washing machine:
The blob on top is where I refreshed the paint on the pen, and I forgot to take a picture before washing it, but I believe it didn't wash away.
It's not great for fabric because it definitely has some rigidity that fabric paint avoids, but I think I can confirm it works.

The apron also has a waist belt, the pins only get the load of the bib, not the full strap and most importantly not of whatever ends up in the pocket.
The shirt I was wearing is a relatively flimsy one in cheap cotton voile that I made myself, so it's probably still sturdier than an average fast-fashion shirt? :( also it's in woven fabric and not knit, which helps.

Dear miss manners,
the company my SO works for has been sold, and they are giving away all the gadgets that they have made, including those that would have never been given to the likes of us¹ such as neckties and pocket squares. How long would it be suitable for me, not related to the company in any way, to wear them? Should I respect a formal mourning period before I use the loot I got from the dead body?

(I already know the answer: it's “wait at least until september. because you don't really want to wear a jacket with a pocket square in this weather, right?” :D )

Ciao!
Qualcuno di voi saprebbe indicarmi uno studio serio e attendibile (magari non finanziato da produttori di elettrodomestici o detersivi...) che metta a confronto l'impatto economico ed ecologico del lavare i piatti a mano o con la lavastoviglie, per single, coppia e famiglia di quattro persone?
Grazie

Ecco, io e mia madre ci passiamo a vicenda cose da lavare in lavastoviglie quando una delle due ce l'ha meno piena dell'altra, la distanza è veramente poca, ma anche così l'unica cosa che va in giro sono pentole, insalatiere o altre cose di quella taglia.
Roba più piccola sarebbe troppo sbattito.
Però è anche vero che se uno tutti i giorni deve lavare solo due piatti e quattro posate, è vero che è roba piccola, ma è poca, su e giù qualche piano di scale magari son portabili.

viaggiatreno non riporta le tratte di ferrovienord, tranne qualche stazione, però riporta i treni di trenord che le percorrono (oltre ai treni trenord che percorrono tratte RFI).
E non credo che trenitalia abbia sensori sulle linee ferrovienord, credo che sia ferrovienord a mandare loro i dati (sbagliati), perché con loro ci giocano perché gliel'ha detto la maestra, ma giusto giusto mentre la maestra guarda, appena si gira rubano il pallone.

The 1700 petticoat has been finished (pictures in the weekend?), so it's time for the next project: a 1880 gentleman shirt in linen.
The instructions have been written, but the pictures I took while making the first mockup weren't great, so I'm going to take them again with the real thing, and then publish everything.

I've just finished #sewing a quick pair of shorts to wear under summer skirts and
a) the sky has just darkened
b) I've realized that I should have taken pictures and published the pattern as #freeSoftWear
oh, well, if they fit well I'm going to make another pair in the same fabric, except *gasp* not-black, and they should be easier to photograph.
also, if they really work as an encouragement for rain, I'm up for making even more pairs :D

TFW you go in front of the mirror to try and level the hem of a skirt (pulling up from the waist, it's a 18th century under petticoat) and realize that even if you don't usually wear your glasses indoors you need them to see the marks on the yardstick at hem level.

Sister sizing is a really useful tool in bra-making. It’s the principle that some bra sizes share cup sizes, but have different band sizes, which basically means that you can create a new bra size, just by changing the length of your band.Emerald Erin

How To Fit Your Underwire …and other underwire mysteries

And we had an hour or so of sun! So I dressed up and I'm ready for some serious percussive debugging on the analytical engine!
I have been vaguely thinking about making myself a black apron for potentially staining office jobs (*cough* ink), and on friday evening I stumbled on the instructions from Home dressmaking; a complete guide to household sewing by Myers, Annie E and decided it had to be done NOW.
The pattern was adapted quite a bit from the original to best use wide modern fabric, so it's not an accurate reproduction.
Source code for both the apron and the sleeve protectors will be published as soon as I finish writing them and editing the step-by-step pictures.

Beh, c'è da dire che un conto è comprare i materiali per un solo zaino (o 3) nel negozio sotto casa (ok, negozio che si trova in Germania, ma il principio è quello :) ), un conto è comprarli a pezze intere per la produzione di massa.
Non credo che per averli di qualità possano comunque materiali economici, ma sospetto che li paghino molto meno.
D'altra parte, loro devono anche pagare il tempo di chi li cuce (che spero sia decisamente più veloce di me, che ho impiegato una giornata solo per la penultima cucitura :D ), che invece nel mio caso conta come divertimento e si scala dal prezzo dei materiali :) .

These things can all be true at the same time:

- If you are using free software you don't owe anyone anything, you received it as a gift.
- If you created your software because you wanted it to help people it will help more people longer if you create a community around it that can maintain the software longer than you.

(picture of two round patches, on one there is a screenprinted bull's eye in blue and yellow, the other shows the pin sewn to the back)
By that time I would have *serious* doubts about the colours, really, but they are the #screenPrint paints (dekaprint 2000 in blue and yellow + deckweiß to print it on black fabric) I needed to test, and the alternatives wouldn't have worked :D
also, aligning two colour prints on small scraps of fabric is hard, even if you have a bit of a border on the lighter colour :D
