Bow down before me. I completed the scifi dress I designed the fabric for a decade ago. #sewing

#FinishForFrogAlong Q&A: what are your other biggest blockers on projects? Some suggestions included sewing / varnishing / lack of space / etc.
What’s your craft and what’s your blocker? How do you address them or deal with them? Or maybe you just … don’t?

For anyone looking to start their clothing repair journey, I'll be hosting a gentle introduction to patches and buttons in @tog this coming Wednesday: https://www.tog.ie/2026/06/repair-club-buttons-patches-edition/
Focused on wovens, so think trousers, skirts, shirts, cushions. T-shirts are a more advanced topic for another time. If you've never sewn before, this is for you.
(we'll have another one for the experienced sewists in the autumn)
Hi, this is my #introduction toot! I am new to fediverse in general and I'm hoping I'll have a good time around here.
I like a few different #craft s, including #handsewing , #knitting , and #crochet , although the way I do them have made people scratch their head lol. I am a massive winger/freehander and I suffer the consequences (good and bad) yet get away with it every time! I also have a bunch of hot takes because I've been doing things weirdly so much.
Not a huge #gamer but I do play a bit. I used to play more but these days I spend my nights doing other things. I like #legendofzelda and one day I shall make and finish a proper #zelda -themed project!
Also love #cats because... I mean... come on, just look at them! I was once a bored kid in school and #doodle cats to pass time.
Anyway, nice to meet you and have a good day!
Shirt #9 is a replica of shirt #6. It was requested by the great granddaughter of the recipient of shirt #6, and she wanted it to be exactly like her great grandma's. I did my best for her!

Continuing my project this summer of sewing baby clothes, I finished this set for the baby of a colleague. The colleague and his spouse have interests in music. It might be a little formal for a baby, but I like it. I bought this fabric years ago to make a set for the child of a former student who was a musician. #sewing Tagging Amy in case she's interested. @amyfou

I had a devil of a time finding blogs and sources that would show me the insides is antique clothing, specifically coats from circa 1820, the Regency Pelisse or Redingote.
Just bunch of Bridgerton garbage and pretty pretty princess style TikTok shorts on period fashion. All the old research based sources are gone.
Did a search, and I immediately find the old school blogs and dress diaries documenting reconstruction efforts similar to mine.
My only quibble is that they don't seem to link blogspot or similar, more commercial services, even if the bog itself isn't commercial.

Today’s #FinishorFrogAlong Q&A - we have been finishing and frogging to help clear our craft tables and our minds. So now - what’s your next project start? What are you casting on or getting ready to stitch or sketching out or planning to do next? Why?

Imagine if sewing machines told you when the bobbin thread ran out! Or if the bobbin were somewhere easily visible instead of hidden away in the guts!
Perhaps then I wouldn't constantly notice I've run out of bobbin thread HALF A METRE AGO!

Finished my daughter's Halloween costume.
Early 1850's mourning attire.
All made by me,l and drafted by me, including the bonnet, using no commercial commercial patterns.

The culmination of some verrry slow #sewing, just in time for Halloween witchiness… it’s a brushed finish lambswool/cashmere blend in dark, very subtly flecky charcoal. The pattern is a heavily doctored Burda jacket, with pocket flaps exaggerated into a kind of semi-peplum and, for reasons I’m too fatigued to explain, the ludicrous addition of that inset waistband. I *probably* won’t normally wear it with my trackie bottoms. #tailoring #pockets #iMadeItMyself
Someone was giving away scrap fabric here, and some awesome serendipity. Someone was cleaning out fabrics owned by their *father*, who was a career long tailor (fine menswear)! Fabric not at all appropriate for the usual quilting people around here. Denim (including Japanese selvedge), and many others menswear fabrics. Now, it appears I either need to sew jeans or a denim jacket. They were extremely happy to have me take these, especially after I sent them photos of my two jackets I sewed. #sewing
