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

Random crafting question

Do any of you cross-stitch?

September 09, 2025

I finally finished the quilt for my daughter. I couldn’t take pictures of the entire thing (her room is a disaster zone), but here’s some of the patchwork and the embroidered square I made because I ended up being one short. I did learn that I’m going to need to find a better way to lay out any future quilts that are twin sized or larger, because I had to keep shifting it around the slightly too small area of our basement carpet and the backing ended up getting doubled up in multiple places. By the time I discovered it, I couldn’t bring myself to unpick that much of the quilting, so it’ll have to stay. But I think it’s going to be awhile before I do any more quilts. Between this and the patchwork jeans (which I did end up having to shorten some), I’m feeling burned out on big projects for now. I did cut out a basic knit tee, so hopefully that’ll be enough of a palate cleanser to get me over the lack of motivation to sew that I was feeling by the end of this.

Wawak interfacing is excellent.
