#mastoHelp

Can somebody with an account on discord or something contact the people of https://freesewing.org/community/where/ to let them know that on the Fediverse there is a community of a) people who sew and b) people who care about free culture c) an hashtag ( #FreeSoftWear ) where they have been mentioned a few times and it would be great if they wanted to join us?

Thanks!


Aaaaand I've published another #FreeSoftWear pattern that has been in the almost-ready limbo for a few months.

A woman wearing a bathrobe in grey honeycomb with big triangular lapels, folded up cuffs and a thin black border on all edges. There is no hood, so she's wearing a separate towel on the hairs.

The finished object picture is from a different item (made in a lighter gray) than the one in the step-by-step pictures, but I've kept the latter a bit overexposed to see the details, so it doesn't really show (also, my camera did odd things with the colour balance, which varies a bit between shots) :D

One day I will learn how to draw proper pattern drawings, but today's not the day.

I still have things in the backlog, but they all require a bit more work than these two.

And after sitting on it for something like two months I've published the pattern for my modern (it uses fancy stitches that weren't easily available on victorian age sewing machines such as zig-zag :D ) / vintage (it's based on something from when I was a child :D) nightgown.

The top half of a nightgown with a yoke in filet crochet with a meander pattern in light blue yarn, and rectangular body and sleeves in white linen fabric. The hem on the sleeves is sewn with a decorative stitch in light blue thread.

It's still missing a worn finished object picture, but it's too cold to take it right now, and if I wait for them I will forget about publishing the pattern, so I'll add it later, hopefully in the spring.

(Thanks to my mother for crocheting the yoke, I only did the sewing part on this)

Yesterday we went for a walk and @Diego Roversi took a few pictures of the flannel shirt I've just finished (and I forgot to button it up completely before the pictures were taken, uoooops)

a woman walking on grass with a 1880s plaid shirt, an almost floor length 1890s black wool skirt and a glimpse of a 2020s hiking boot

The pattern is always https://sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/historical_menswear/shirts/1880s_shirt/index.html , but I've cut away the excess material in the front rather than pleating it.

a small pile of cut white fabric, with the paper pattern pieces on top

The 1700 petticoat has been finished (pictures in the weekend?), so it's time for the next project: a 1880 gentleman shirt in linen.

The instructions have been written, but the pictures I took while making the first mockup weren't great, so I'm going to take them again with the real thing, and then publish everything.

Content warning: sewing, finished apron, ec in the picture


it. is. DONE!

Now @Diego Roversi has backpack that matches mine!

I believe I started working on this in 2019, did a bit, stopped for a long while, did another bit, stopped a very long while, etc. so getting rid of the WIP (and having the finished object to use) is a very nice feeling.

picture of a mostly parallelepipedal backpack in black fabric with blue and red webbing stripes on the front and black webbing compression straps. the lining can be seen at the top and it's light blue.

modellismo nel senso di modelli di cucito, giusto (perché altrimenti no, non è qualcosa che pratico)?

#!

Che io sappia è ancora una nicchia piccolina, ma ci si sta provando. Credo che ci sia anche qualcosa nella comunità di utenti di Valentina (il programma che uso per disegnare i modelli), ma non so più che fine abbia fatto (temo su facebook?) e l'autore del programma è più propenso verso la vendita degli stessi, per cui non credo che li incoraggi particolarmente.
