Just attempted to go shopping for clothes, and while I know the quality has gone down across the board it was sad to see how much quality has dropped.

Even on so called luxury brands, the quality has dropped dramatically, the cloth, the stitching, the material it has all gone downhill.

For example quite a few clothes I came across used overlocking for structural parts without using another stitch to actually provide strength. 🫠

At this point I am honestly considering getting a sewing machine, some bolts of fabric, some patterns and attempting to sew my own clothes. #frustration #clothes #clothing #sewing #quality #lowQuality

My husband requested a circuit board design for this t-shirt, in green, of course. I didn’t have quite enough of the main fabric left to cut out the front and back in whole pieces. There was a big chunk missing at the shoulder. So I asked my husband if circuits ever had a reason for two of them to be joined together, so I could fill in the space, and he said sure. When circuit boards are fabricated, the machines make a whole panel of them at a time and they’re connected together with lines of perforation, called mouse bites, so they can later be snapped apart into separate pieces. So that’s how I filled in the gaps at the corners with scrap fabric to make them look intentional.

Mostly 100% cotton jersey, cotton and polyester thread, gold acrylic paint

Photo of a t-shirt embroidered with a circuit design. The shoulder has a section added that looks like it’s a separate board that has been snapped apart along a line of perforation. The shirt is covered in gold circles that are appliquéd onto the shirt. The circles are connected with lines of couching, couched strips of fabric. Everything is hand sewn. The neck line and all hems are finished with the same double line appliqué stitch treatment.
Detail of shirt shoulder shows large hand stitches.

#sewing friends, I'm somewhat incapacitated and watching cozy sewing videos on YouTube is one of the things I can do today, with my limited energy and brain power.

I have basically watched Bernadette Banner's channel up and down.

Do you have recommendations for costuming/sewing channels? Bonus points for queer creators.

Ugh, AI has seeped into sewing patterns.

Just been looking for a couple of new patterns, and the reviews are full of complaints that the instructions don't make any sense and that pattern piece sizing is wrong, and that the pattern pieces don't line up 😩

I made a new dress from wool my grandmother bought many (many) years ago. A combination of the Ashland dress bodice and Misses’ fit and flare skirt (m7599) with added pockets and the tiniest pleat. Also, topstitching. That hem is very long. #sewing

Me looking a bit blurry in an armless midnight blue dress with princess seams and waist topstitched in golden gray embroidery thread. Metal buttons down the front of the bodice. This picture shows how tiny pleats in what is almost a circle skirt makes it fall neatly in the front.
I stand still showing off pockets.
Close-up of bodice and me looking uncomfortable about being photographed.
Picture of the full dress. The hem is also topstitched. It has a very full skirt.

Mostly finished. First time I tried to turn it right side out one of the seams came completely apart, there's others that might follow suit under load, we'll see.
The cardinal cracks me up. I feel an urge to fill it with sunflower seeds and bike to parks and feed birds!

A partial frame bag on a red Trek Checkpoint. The side showing has no zipper in order to not break up the nice Cardinal art from seed bag. The Cardinal is looking forward, surely will make the bike faster!
The zipper side. I opted to try not having the zipper go the full way, which made things kind of complicated and this side has all kinds of crazy seam issues. There’s a “Ultra Clean” panel from seed bag and I took the little Blue Seal seal and used that for covering the zipper end.
No velcro holding this on bike instead I opted for M5 bolts in 3DPrinted thumbscrews. Three of them secure bag to underside of top tube, there’s another for the front into Down tube.

Still got a maned wolf looking for a new home. Currently inhabiting an Ikea portable cupboard. :D Probably the most complicated fluff thing I made yet. Well, apart from fursuits. :neofoxsnugnervous:
