Horse pills were easy about this time of year with an apple in your palm. Dog pills were always a challenge.

@stevewfolds I used to make a ham.cream cheese sushi roll with the pill in the middle but that is no longer a thing for our monster. For the moment, a mix of pate with added tuna is working great. Sardines are the next step


Hazy, warm, and humid out in the wetlands today, but a nice variety of colors and textures. (1/3) 🌾⛅️

So here's me again on my sewing nonsense.

Absolute ages ago I bought this fabric from Minerva Crafts that I thought was *great*. It was navy poly with a linen texture that I got for £4 a meter. Cheap fabric that looks like expensive fabric? Winner winner.

I bought it to make Deer and Doe Fumeterre skirt which is lovely all round.

I'm about halfway through the project. I ignored half of the instructions, especially the order of execution. In the last (n) years since my first attempt I have learnt better.

* did the zip fly first
* overlocked most seam allowances before construction
* avoided fancy finishes

Sometimes doing the difficult thing first is easier. "Cheaper" finishes may be easier to adjust and alter. And you may want to wear what you're planning in the (checks notes) same decade 😬🥹

OMG I FEEL VALIDATED! am working with a cotton lawn-almost-voile and am in the middle of hand-sewing the seam allowances first to stop the fabric from unraveling. it is very beautiful and delicate and am making a simple tunic with it; but felt a bit of a schmuck after i undid the machine sewing and started over. it just looked bad. with a whipstitch, you can’t even tell the edge is sewn. working on the finish first makes sense with this fabric. LISTEN TO THE FABRIC is my new mantra

@artcollisions i will! the irony is that there is no pattern. it’s the “4-rectangles” robe that was a thing on the french internet.

it’s exactly because it’s just 4 rectangles, figuring out the armholes & side-seams, decolletage, pockets, slits (mine is a maxi dress), it’s not that simple. especially when working with such a delicate cotton.

had to recut the fabric to match patterns at the shoulder. you can barely see the hand stitched seam. it never matched machine sewn.

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

@blogdiva I'm so delighted to hear that! I really wasn't gonna post this — nobody wants to post about their failures — but then I thought how much I would prefer to feel the kinship in my low point rather than keep it quiet and wait for "instagrammable" result... someday.

I'd love to see what you make! But if my long turnaround on projects doesn't indicate enough, no rush 😉

#sewing

in reply to JJ Celery

am determined to finish it this week. been sitting on this for so long exactly because the fabric was screaming at me to chuck the order of construction and start with finishing the seam allowances first. i’ll post it when am done.

Pushing Back on Chrononormativity — personal reflections

My first conscious run-in with chronormativity was when I embraced polyamory. We called it 'the relationship escalator'. The idea that relationships are expected to follow a specific pattern -- a specific chronology....

You're welcome! It really is a great concept. And it sounds like Freeman has a couple other good concepts in her book, which is why it's on my to-read list now.
