Everything moved!

All the new Locals updates make the app a little confusing! (Hopefully, I'll get used to all the changes.) You'll probably want to change the order of your feed to "most recent" with the fly down at the top right, and you'll need to do that for each community you're in if you joined any others besides The Sewing Sphere.

The default is "trending" but it seems to remember anything you change it to because I set mine to "most recent" yesterday and it has held. And if you want to see one community at a time (not just the people you follow in the main home feed), you'll find your community list using the "people" icon at the bottom.

Edit: Adding photo for those who can't see the comments. I've been leaving mine on the "people" icon at the bottom and The Sewing Sphere feed. Then I can just go back and forth between here and notification bell at bottom.

Studio video tour!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild

Paint!

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

Time-lapse floor install (part 2)

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

Ruffle tail

I draped a really rough half-scale ruffle tail for one of the debutant dresses Janet & I are making. I just eyeballed and freehand cut a scrap of (un-ironed) muslin in a spiral and pinned it to my little dress form to make sure it was long enough to reach from hem to waist. Then I marked the folds and traced it onto graph paper and cleaned it up. The graph paper makes it easier to copy at 200% and tape the pieces back together.

I'll transfer the enlarged frankenstein paper pattern to brown paper when I'm back at the studio tomorrow or Friday and then make it out of the real fabric.

February 14, 2025

I made 2 of these valentine garlands. Found the tutorial via Instagram and thought it would be perfect to send to Ashley, my daughter in Oregon, and Madison, my birth daughter in North Carolina.
Pics are from Ashley.

What I did at work today

My hand hurts! I spent all day trimming net away from embroidery and weeding out sections that were too dense for what I need this fabric to do.
