Welcome to all the new people who have recently joined The Sewing Sphere community! I know Locals can be a little confusing since it's such a new platform. Think of it as a combination of Twitter, FB/IG, and Patreon. The Phone app is really great and amazingly functional - I highly recommend it.
All who join each individual Locals community can read & like the posts that aren't set for "subscribers only". If you subscribe to a specific community, all the features are available to you and you can read comments, comment yourself, share links, photos, and videos.
To subscribe to The Sewing Sphere, go to sewingsphere.locals.com in a browser (not the app) and go to "manage support". When you enter a credit card, use the promo code GRATEFUL2 and you'll get two months free. After that, it's only $2 a month or whatever amount you choose to give above that, and you can always unsubscribe (but I hope you won't want to!) if you don't like it.
Subscriptions are processed by a company called Stripe, and the money goes directly to support each community creator (in this case, me) - similar to how Patreon works.
I hope you'll all subscribe with the promo code so you can participate in the photo challenge! If you have any questions or problems subscribing, please email me at [email protected]
I have only seen good improvements as Locals grows, and I love how creators have so much control over their communities without any Big Tech overlords to mess things up. Let's make this the social media place to be because we're allowed to make it whatever we want! I'm so glad you've joined me here!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.
I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.
I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!
