HOLY CRAP – CONGRATS TO THE IRISH WOMEN! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! ☘️😍🏆
The Snook spent Easter brewing and ended up with a large bag of spent grain. I took it over to… https://t.co/drFYMojueZ
RT @IanColdwater: My teenage daughter posted this today and I’m having so many women in tech feels.
Representation matters. https://t.co/s…
RT @espn: ARIKE OGUNBOWALE JUST WON NOTRE DAME THE 2018 NATIONAL TITLE! https://t.co/ZCNhyF1uIf
@TheRealBnut @espn She barely had time to even look at the basket before she was shooting it. It’s amazing.
@TheRealBnut @espn And that’s actually the second game in a row where she’s won it at the last second. The previous one was in overtime too!
RT @emd3737: Congratulations to my alma mater @NotreDame for winning the women’s basketball NCAA championship!
Back to it! Step 10 – sew back darts. https://t.co/mCOa4q4Aob
Step 11 – prep button and buttonhole plackets. Mine are grown on and seamless. (Less work!) https://t.co/mXsZLcKbLo
Step 12 – time for a yoke burrito! Such a cool technique to hide all the yoke and shoulder seams. https://t.co/h3Tj0LIeXR
Step 13 – starting the sleeves! Cuff guard attached. https://t.co/JKHi55HIRz
Step 14 – folding and attaching the sleeve placket! https://t.co/NqKmIgROdd
RT @JodiMcA: S3 is CLEARLY the best. Like, how there opinions other than this. #PaceysCreek https://t.co/Vm594I9Urd
@tesshilsob I don’t love this particular technique as it results in a small bit of raw edge on the inside. I know Colette does a single piece one – I might go back to the for the next one. https://t.co/Q8opaFLh8m
Step 15 – setting in the sleeves! https://t.co/mpaRmq7O8R
Step 16 – flat-felling the armhole seam. This means encasing the seam allowance so it’s totally clean on the inside! https://t.co/A8lTAwWhK0
@j__st Heya! I’m trying the slashed hem on this Simon, and the docs don’t cover that. Anything special I should know?
@j__st Will do. I’m reading this: https://t.co/DmgmCZJYIB. Seems like having a small raw bit at the top of the vent is unavoidable with a French seam.
@j__st Ooh, that’s fun. Maybe I’ll do that. 🙂
@j__st I’ve got a doc bug report for you too! The captions on the images on Simon Step 8 are incorrect. They refer to yokes instead of darts.
@emd3737 You guys have been away foreverrrrrrrr!
RT @GLITCHAUS: mach_kernel @ 2bpp – #JeffDonaldson 2017: ~10mb of data woven pixel to stitch in 4 colors 5’ 10”x11’ 6” – on view now at Eas…
@j__st I was tempted to submit a PR but I wasn’t sure where. 😂 By the way – is there a change log for patterns anywhere? I notice this Simon is a much later version than my earlier and I’m curious to know what changed.
@j__st ON IT!
If you are wondering why I don’t take sewing commissions, this thread is why. I’ve got about 15 hours invested so far in this project, and I’m still not done. At my hourly rate, it makes for a very expensive garment. 🤑 https://t.co/45mDKo4DcO
Step 17 – sewing side seams. https://t.co/fyXyrbwxen
Step 18 – fit check. YAY! Getting there. 😁 https://t.co/Nzh55LzzSY
You might think I am embarrassed by my office nerdery displayed in this photo. You would be wrong. I’m only annoyed that Rodd’s head blocks my autographed Captain Typho to complete the Star Wars trifecta! https://t.co/TCKtdsuWWI
@Thriobologist Not in the slightest! 😂
@minxdragon Check out https://t.co/tUHQZmPPdK. It’s really clever. I also love that none of the patterns are gendered – the software just takes into account whether breasts are involved or not. (I gotta say – it’s so much nicer sewing for someone without boobs.)
Step 19 – flat-felling the side/sleeve seams. This includes the tricky (but secretly enjoyable) bit where you sew down *inside* the sleeve, inch by inch. Best armpit finish I’ve ever done! 😍 https://t.co/4ld7whWHek
@minxdragon Yup. You just upload the measurements, fork the pattern, and it generates a draft exactly to your specs. I’m about to submit some PRs to Github for it too. 😍 Sewing + nerdery LOVE.
@j__st I *think* I just submitted a PR. (This will be my second ever open source contribution!)
TFW you finish a day of sewing by submitting a PR for the docs to help others. 😇 https://t.co/J2mL9xOq9E (Thanks @j__st!)
@Mandy_Kerr @hj_chen I want to attend this party!
@gilmae I think so. I remember a quote about it being weird to have the power to basically boot somebody from the Internet.
For once feeling some Hoosier Pride (in all senses of the word). 🏳️🌈❤️ (Can I, like, donate some money to this??) https://t.co/BeEef3dlgT
I need to read this every time I underrate myself or feel like I don’t belong. https://t.co/6THrxNqlKd
@shanselman Very cool. We visited in 2007 and got to see them prepping for one of the last launches!
@hj_chen I’ve been using @TheOldReader for a few years now and I’m happy!
