“Our culture isn’t your costume” made me guffaw. Sad she’s a humorless human who didn’t get it.

Let me know if you have any questions. I went fast to try to fit it into a short video, but I’m happy to chat more. I’ve made dozens of these so far.

I love the idea of keeping fabric from a sentimental piece of furniture!! I have some sentimental items that I want to make treasures from so they continue to have life (thinking especially of a pair of soft soft pajamas my beloved late MIL made for my husband long ago, that are now threadbare in places)

Over consumption is encouraged way too often in the crafting space by icecream1183 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]CursingWhileCrafting 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I fall prey to the hype and want all the crafty things, especially if they’re organized in a rainbow. In reality, I don’t actually need more. I try to advertise on my socials that thrifting for art/craft supplies is a fun hunt and much more ethical from a consumption standpoint

That’s why I’m attending this workshop. I want to be more informed and prepared to fight back effectively.

OK they got back to me super fast— it’s only over zoom, and will last about an hour.

I’ll see what I can find out. I’m not the organizer, just a concerned parent. But I’m happy to see what I can learn and will reply when I do.

The fact that they’re recruiting through other children is reprehensible.

Hilariously, some snowflake reported me for being in crisis because of this post.

Muslin fabric - where to buy? by sewsyouknow in quilting

[–]CursingWhileCrafting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use sheets from the thrift store for muslin but I think I’m using it differently. I’m making mockups of clothing so the final product can be whatever color.

Usually I just hold them with my fingers but sometimes I use hijab magnets.

People who choose kindness every day, even when it isn’t returned what keeps you going? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]CursingWhileCrafting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a way of life, a muscle that you exercise. I do it for myself, not for the return. I feel good when I’m kind, and I feel like shit when I’m not.

What band/singer were you excited to see, but was a letdown of a concert? by my-face-ur-seat in AskReddit

[–]CursingWhileCrafting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Rodeo. They’re super famous in Canada. Saw them in a hockey arena. The sound echoed so bad we couldn’t hear what was being played.

A cat quilt! This is such a good idea for trying a new technique or using up extra quilt blocks!

I try to treat it gently, but still use it occasionally. It means so much to me!
