I'm making a pattern for a bouldering chalkbag in Inkscape, and I was laying out the pages so that they would tile for my printer by hand, and thought to myself "this is going to take *minutes*, I bet that in only a few dozen hours I can write a script to do this automatically". So I wrote my first Inkscape extension.
It overlaps pages with optional registration marks. The extension, and the chalkbag pattern are up on my codeberg.

Seeing ads for the new HP branded sewing machine are so fucking infuriating

You want to pop culture brand a sewing machine? Give me a Picard 'Make it Sew" machine not an opportunity to give more money to that anti-trans crusader

Does anyone have sewing recs/patterns/resources or discussion for specifically sewing your own cold-weather gear? Crossposting this on tumblr but there have to be at least some #MYOG people on here, right? #sewing

Anyone know of a #Minneapolis fabric store I can support this week so they have a little extra business and can close on the 23rd?

Finished my paper airplane FPP #quilt recently and am already well into the next project. Except for the backing which I don't like enough to show it's all thrifted and salvaged fabric. Each plane is ditch stitched on my machine and then the "speed lines" are big hand stitching. #sewing #quilting

I finished the embroidery on my current project. This one will go to the first person who responded to my offer to send towels to our Mastodon friends.
The design was inspired by a previous towel recipient. I had mentioned that I might look for some spicy designs.
This is as spicy as I get I guess.
Next I have to figure out how to save the list of people interested in towels. I'm not sure how to save the toot and replies. Suggestions are welcome.

I’ve posted this before, but in case you missed it…
📍The eye of a hand sewing needle is larger on one side, than the other.
If you have trouble threading your needle, try turning it around. 🪡🧵

I can’t count how many times knowing this has been helpful!! 👏
