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

Just one more sleep 'til Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

If you're looking for something Christmasy to listen to/watch over the next few days, here's the most recent episode of my favorite podcast Blurry Creatures. It's a really fascinating (and nerdy) deep dive into the Biblical story of the Magi.

Two days after my son turned in his last paper for his bachelor's degree, I finished my shirt sewing project. Eight shirts, made to measure. Most of the fabrics are linen. Yes, regrettably you can tell exactly when I got my sewing machine repaired... but I hope these help him as he moves through his master's program and in life.

We had a very quiet Thanksgiving, and I'm doing palate cleansers between the shirts in my shirt gift project, so I ran through the scrap pile and made myself an apron.

Aprons, IME, should be made of thicker fabrics in order to actually prevent splashes and stains from getting to your real clothes. Both of these were skirt leftover bits :)
