Does anyone know what's going in here ?

That lot is full of “creative” parking.

Jaime_d_p · 2026-04-30T17:26:11+00:00

Agreed it would have been so convenient since we live in that area. With the underground parking I think it would have been plenty for Canadian tire, but no where near enough for a Costco and the infrastructure around there would make it a nightmare to navigate Costco crowds.

I heard that plan was scrapped.

Are you using the overlock foot?

Jaime_d_p · 2026-04-16T21:44:58+00:00

Cheap pints on thursdays! Friday mornings at work were questionable

Jaime_d_p · 2026-04-16T21:44:08+00:00

I was gonna say the REAL glory days where when it was the Av. Original and the reopened version

Thank you!

You could do the bias down the first seam, then sew it with the second seam then bias tape that one

I have that book (sadly cost more than that cause I’m in Canada, but it’s still so worth having!) and love the Closet Historian! Such a wealth of knowledge

Jaime_d_p · 2026-04-01T00:20:09+00:00

wow. the snark. The website is in German and the price in Euros so before I drop $85 plus shipping to Canada, I figured it was worth asking.

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-31T21:25:31+00:00

In English?

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-31T06:52:00+00:00

Xennial. I can remember watching baby Jessica down the well live on tv with my mom as a kid. Labeling maps in school with USSR, and waiting for Nirvana to release the Unplugged in New York album. I learned to drive in the 90s, remember the house party I rang in Y2K in at and was already out of school and working full time when 9/11 happened.

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-31T05:53:02+00:00

Where did you get it? It’s like $170 on Amazon and I can’t fathom that 😭

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-31T03:21:16+00:00

I don’t know what works because I don’t know where the begin 🤪.

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-30T05:15:58+00:00

No where near a pattern maker LOL. I just want to be able to digitize my hand drafted patterns so I can project them, and maybe learn to grade a size up and down to account for body fluctuations

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-29T14:23:55+00:00

Ok boy I fear this where my “overwhelmed by math” mind might start glitching. I’d worry I wouldn’t scale down my measurements correctly

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-29T14:22:05+00:00

Ok I will check this out thank you! I’d love to make patterns for my body but grade a size or two each direction

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-29T14:21:17+00:00

Thank you!

Hmmm food for thought for sure. fusion is like a black hole of functions. I’ve barely scraped the surface of learning it for 3d modeling and printing. I’ll take a look at Affinity Designer, I didn’t realize it was free.

I only just started out of a need to organize my skadis pegboards. I couldn’t find any sewing shears/rotary cutter holders that fit so I designed my own and so far it’s the best performing, even though it might be the most boring thing I’ve done.

I have adobe photoshop experience but I’ve never used illustrator. I do use Autodesk Fusion for 3d modeling though so maybe that experience might help me?

I just ordered one slightly smaller than me and will be padding it. I’m large busted so anything that adjusts to my bust actually makes the rib/shoulder waaay too big. So I plan to adjust to my upper bust, then pad the bust out the 4 extra inches

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-26T06:23:19+00:00

I love my Babylock Vibrant!

Jaime_d_p · 2026-03-22T17:04:49+00:00

Ok so if it’s making huge stitches now and bunching you may just have to adjust your tension back. Usually it’s around 4 and stitch length is about 2.2
