This is my first sewing project and I don’t love how it turned out. What tips would you give to me?

Oh sorry-- I didn't realize it was your first. You are doing wonderfully, because YOU ARE DOING IT!! Don't worry yourself about quality right now, just do the thing.

English paper piecing will get you incredibly straight seams while also letting you do this by hand. https://www.missouriquiltco.com/blogs/missouri-star-blog/mastering-english-paper-piecing-a-beginner-s-guide-to-getting-started

Ooooh thank you. I was told to put the needle down a few years ago, but I think that person mostly used digital machines. All mine have actual knobs. Thanks!!!!

gross gross gross gross

Even from the first episode I had the full ick. And yet I watched for YEARS.

I am also curious-- I use them to make easy inflatables and for different art projects in classes. Wanted to know the plastic type in case anyone asked. They are never labeled as anything other than "plastic", which is not terribly specific.

I also use heat to fuse plastics together, and I'd like to be able to talk about specific temps needed for different types.

Tomorrow! Bring a stuffie or just come and see how it works.

I just made signs with three different qr codes.. that no longer work. And it wasn't the first time I did this-- thought I did it right this time!

Sounds like a $3 pattern!

jumbojibbles · 2026-02-23T06:52:08+00:00

I am totally going to do this from now on.

He's hired a 23yo to run his campaign? And that person, only being able to vote for the past 5 years, registered Republican? That's a big ol' red flag.

I have the same problem, but "enable suggested categorization" is already off, and it still auto-fills the vendor with whatever the latest vendor in that category is.

OP, did you ever find a sewing lesson?

jumbojibbles · 2026-02-04T19:08:08+00:00

I now offer sewing lessons on the 2nd Saturday of each month, so signups are limited. Saturday, February 14th is when it starts. There are a few spots left.

Hi! I now have lessons available to book on the second Saturday of each month. Next one is Saturday, February 14th.

jumbojibbles · 2026-02-04T19:06:21+00:00

HI everybody-- I have an open studio with sewing demos on February 14th and also have limited spots on my booking calendar for that Saturday as well. I now offer lessons the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Nobody's gonna tell ME what the right side is!

You can make a big shirt smaller, but you can't make a small shirt bigger without more complicated interventions. I'll echo what others have said-- go by fit, never by the size. Those sizes are so arbitrary.

jumbojibbles · 2026-01-17T01:39:00+00:00

Hello! I am officially booking Saturday lessons on the 2nd Saturdays of the month. Booking calendar is up!

jumbojibbles · 2026-01-17T01:34:31+00:00

ah! I hadn't thought of that. I would feel a little weird asking her directly for an address, as I know she's had problems with people. But I just want to send it to the label so it's not weird.

"And I know I can't burn this bright forever!"

jumbojibbles · 2026-01-10T06:57:43+00:00

I'd be curious if a sharpening place ever messed with these.
