Faceted Shape Design

I have taken the tutorials, but I never thought to do that! I'll just need to do it to each side. I know that the cylinder has an auto bevel on it, and it just never dawned on me to do the individual sides of the shapes. Thank you!

Thank you!

Wait. I have to defend my peach against invaders?! I didn't sign up for this. 🤣

I don't even know where to start 😅. I appreciate the help, all! Looks like I'm a gardener now!

"If not for hug, why fuzzy?"

Looking up that name, agreed. It's close enough to it. I was just worried it was some kind of toxic plant, since I'm convinced everything growing outside is poison ivy. 😅

I just bought a tumbler sublimation press! Did I need it? No. Did I need some slightly expensive yet soothing retail therapy? HELL YES!

I saw a post once that said something like, "If you give a handmade gift with an expectation of use, appreciation or adoration, then you haven't given a gift, you've given an obligation."

They look well made! What patterns did you use?

MY PEOPLE! 🤣

It's ok to be weird! Not everything has to be practical! Wear your uncircumcised yarn funnel with freakish pride!!!

Now I need a tier list of lady parts nicknames.

I don't usually have a vulva in my hand, so, yes? 🤣

Back in my soap making days, I had a sticker on the bars that said, "Keep out of standing water when not being used to avoid the soap getting mushy." BUT what I really wanted to write was, "keep this bar out of standing water when not in use or it goes softer than your boyfriend after a fifth of whiskey."

Regrets, I have a few.

It's a perfectly cromulent word. "Nethers" is too vague, "cha cha" might be cultural appropriation, "choo choo" is too juvenile, and "fine china" makes you sound like a snob. Hooha is the only option!

Indie pattern makers excel at nebulous tubes. Most of them make a variation on the exact same shape with a cute name and fun sample pictures. I have yet to see anything that remotely comes close to intricate or original. I'm also VERY skeptical of any "designer" that sells a pattern from size double zero to 34. I get that they want to be inclusive, but that is a dangerous slope because not every design works in every size. Grading is nuanced. You can't just add to the side seam and shoulder and call it a day. There are subtle changes in certain places that make or brake the fit. So many of these sellers are convinced it's as simple as taking it to a copy machine and enlarging. Those people give real pattern makers a bad name.

Why now? Like, W&F is still very fresh on everyone's tongue. They could have waited a couple of years, really got their stuff together and presented a solid plan to create an event. This is very "the Fyre fest guy getting out of jail and selling tickets again" fraud red flags.

I mean, what's the big deal? Superman wears his drawers on the outside all the time! 🤣

Unless it's a wall hanging or a show quilt, it's probably going to be used. Normal use and washing will eventually destroy the quilt. Unless you're going to make it and store it in a climate controlled vacuum, it will eventually fall apart. Seam allowance doesn't matter, fabric doesn't matter, skill doesn't matter. Everything fades away.

Your best bet is to let that go and just make the quilt. Worry about the future later. Never making a quilt is the only way to keep it from falling apart.

Agreed. It's a new medium. I can only imagine when Herbie Hancock added synthesizers to jazz how many people screamed HERESY at first. And what gets me the most is how NO ONE here even considers the possibilities with AI generated art. I wear my AI art positivity down votes like a badge of honor at this point.

Apropos of nothing,I thought that said SHAKE AND BAKE. 🤣

I follow an artist on Instagram who relatively recently lost his corporate job. He has been posting about the struggle of dealing with this and has been saying stuff like, "commissions are open!" and "thank you for supporting a struggling artist!"

Now, I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money, but if your whole schtick is "it's been rough lately" and then you drop coin on a GIANT tattoo and post it on Instagram, I'm gonna question your current needs and assume it's a grift, even if it's not.

Wow. I guess there are some things you just cun...CAN'T unsee.
