Mi amiga, Jane. Hace más de 30 años

A few of my favorite signs from yesterday’s Boston #protest #handsoff #MA50501 #50501

Two women wear versions of the same coat pattern using the same fabric.

#Samebutdifferent
Met a local sewist through an online class. We both made versions of the #closetcorephoebe using the same fabric with different details. #sewsky

Excellent information!! Thanks for sharing

Now for something completely different
#hangingonbyathread #bobbinlace #lacemaking

An artists bookfair, with books and zines and exhibitions from artists, designers and fresh local talent. AND IT'S FREE (in #Providence, #RhodeIsland).

I have a Bernina, too, but it is persnickety with thick fabric. And 2 layers of wool coating is very thick. Didn’t want to take any chances. I’m team #boundbuttonholes from now on!

Thank you for your kind words. The lining is kasha ( flannel backed cotton satin). I added a wool/poly interlining behind that ( extra warmth) & machine quilted for stability. I learned so much from making this coat. Bound buttonholes will now become the standard in all my future coats.

Thanks so much! I learned a ton making it.

A passage from - Small Things Like These.

Late to the party but just read Claire Keegan’s beautiful novel -‘Small Things Like These’.
And this passage made me weep because of its current relevance.

I hate making toiles but when it comes to good fitting pants, there’s no other way to get it without a toile.

Yes, you are ! ⭐️

Hooray 🎉

Thanks, Jen! I love the splash of color. Ready to make another.

Yes, I know I goofed on the strap placement. An outcome of gabbing with fellow sewists while sewing. I like how it turned out.

I’ve been teaching a friend to knit. It’s time she had a proper knitting bag & I made her one. 💪🏻
Not a garment BUT I did use a pattern from @grainlinestudio.bsky.social 😏#SewskyChallenge2025

Incredible piece. Brings to mind the Twilight Zone. Beautiful & simultaneously unsettling.

I was just sewing a Town Bag today!

Boston is the 1st city in the country to embed net zero carbon emissions standards into our zoning code. 👏 to climate advocates & forward-looking developers supporting our greenest, healthiest future.

My #visiblemending project from @mona-and-zoe.bsky.social class last week. I learned so much! 🧵🪡

Thank you, Mariko!

I have a similar approach. Print line drawing, swatch fabric & attach to a project page from @grainlinestudio.bsky.social & pop it in a 3 ring. Add notes as I sew.

I did! And not bad for my first try.
