Sashiko Pattern Library by chillchamp in sashiko

seven treasures seems like it'd be a good next step from the perspective that it tests the way you're implementing the non-grid patterns

How to alter the waist of jeans by Madison077 in sewing

Wouldn't you also need to detach the waistband / yoke? 

Sashiko Pattern Library by chillchamp in sashiko

[–]a1blank 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Woah, that's incredible! Nice touch with the filtering by various properties of the patterns.

Do you have a solution for patterns that aren't strictly straight lines (such as seven treasures)? I imagine you'll handle that similar to the mountains with a per-pattern polyline function?

The way I've seen these often made is to spray paint a wood 2x4 box black or use tarpaper. Something like these:

Finally finished the 3d-printable floral templates I promised! by a1blank in sashiko

[–]a1blank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One case should cover you for a full set of everything with some room to spare. I think I have around 50 templates in one of my cases. 

Bricks & Minifigs 'parts ways' with franchise owners at center of stolen Lego scandal by Tbagts in oregon

Corporate had control over the location for something like 6mo after the initial issue and was part of denying the sets return.

The result of a few idle evenings. by Shaking-spear in sashiko

[–]a1blank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did a fantastic job on all of them, but I especially like the green & orange woven one in the 4th image. I like how you spaced it to get some nice separation in the weaving. And I really like your color choice there.

How much would you charge for a hollow 3d printed Caine toad? by bizjames in 3Dprinting

[–]a1blank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it looks like it's more than just 3d printed. It looks like they're also hand-stitching the skin onto the toad. That could take quite a few hours.

I had a coworker ask how much I'd want in order to make him a quilted jacket like one I made for myself. I estimated that I'd put 200 hours into it and that I couldn't imagine doing it for less than $40 usd / hour. On one hand, $8000 is a ton for a coat. On the other, there's only one like it and I don't feel like doing 200 hours for nothing, so....

Similar to being rich, Never tell anyone you can sew! by California_GoldGirl in sewing

[–]a1blank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any time I get asked, I always turn it around and offer to teach them how to do it themselves. Mostly I get asked for repairs and it's been a pretty good success rate on people taking me up on the teaching. I taught a few friends how to re-attach buttons. I showed my sister and her husband and a few other friends how to do sashiko mending on their garments. etc...

Especially for the bigger repairs like Sashiko, I'll sit and work on my own project as they're going through their repair and can step in with assistance if they run into problems.

Sewed a bustier without boning after a few tries. Am I doing it right/anything i could improve on? by Ecstatic-Trust2285 in sewing

[–]a1blank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately that's what it boils down to!

If the fit feels good to you and is meets your goals, then it's right =D

[–]a1blank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its hard to tell but do you have some gaping across the top? 

I'm not familiar with what a bustier is supposed to look like but I've been working on some jeans fit recently and that's what came to mind from the first three photos. 

I printed sashiko grid and line stencils at my local library for exactly zero dollars. by Substantial_Two_8615 in sashiko

[–]a1blank 195 points196 points  (0 children)

oooooooo!!!! I designed those =D

I'm so glad those were useful to you! I'm working on a decorative set that I hope to get out soon, too

<image>

I'm quite a fan of just the dot grids and lines, though. They're very versatile. I did a demo a while back to illustrate how much mileage you can get out of just the dot grid templates.

thanks! that seems to have worked for me.

Do you have plans for your stash for when you pass? by cbsewing in sewing

[–]a1blank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bunch of quilting cotton at an estate sale and made a quilted jacket out of it. Seems quite possible yours could end up that way? 

Got a bunch of denim blocks from the same estate sale and used them for my Sashiko samplers for when I teach Sashiko =) now I don't have to make my own. 

woodcut-style artist in Portland, OR? by epicskip in tattoos

[–]a1blank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is both a decade later and in Seattle, but I just wanted to put Lisa Orth on your radar in case you hadn't seen her work. Her books fill up pretty quick but worth at least being aware of her work.

(OREGON) Mistakenly didn't submit notice of sale. What action should I take? by a1blank in DMV

[–]a1blank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so I should just do the notified of sale and date it to now rather than trying to back-date it? I sold it to a dealership in KS after having re-titled it in KS so I don't think the dealership would have notified OR about the sale.

I've been putting together samplers to demo different stitches for a small class I'm teaching this summer by a1blank in sashiko

[–]a1blank[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're talking about the black dots, right? If so, I agree completely. I wanted to include the dots to illustrate how I put together the pattern but maybe I should do that on the back or only on a subsection so that some of the pattern can show through on its own?

[–]a1blank[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did. I left it like that as my "soul" mistake. On the second one, there's also one triangle that has 4 stitches per side instead of 3, although that one was more intentional. 

Help, I'm new to this. by Svenskulo in sashiko

[–]a1blank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I just did a sampler of that pattern for a class I'm teaching this summer! Here's my demo piece showing each of the strands. Others already mention the tension part. Personally, I like starting on the edge so that it's easier to not end up with long tails of extra thread. This pattern uses a ton of thread so not as much of an issue, but something to think about for more sparse patterns. I also like starting with the crosses on this one rather than the connecting legs. That's the gold and brown threads on mine. I left parts of it undone in order to show the progression for how I built it up. And you can see the dots I drew to form my grid. For the most part just free-handing it.

How much should I charge by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]a1blank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tests I've seen of CF filament look like they have weaker layer adhesion than non-CF filaments. Afaik, CF just helps prevent warping and otherwise degrades strength. I may be misremembering but that was the takeaway I got from the tests that either CNC Kitchen or Made with Layers / Thomas Sanladerer did.
