    More photos, showing the back, where I had to cut and enlarge the back after realizing the hat was too snug. Also, one showing the inside (my not always so straight stitching is clearly visible XD)

    @TazPoltorak @Bfordham some toy machines cheat by only being able to make a chain stitch instead of the lockstitch used by modern¹ machines: those aren't really sewing machines, they can't be used to follow instructions designed for sewing machines and I'd recommend staying away from them even as a “starting” machine, because they really aren't one.the main issue being that the chain stitch unravels, and using it to make functional garments will require a lot more handsewing and different techniques that those used today.as the first sewing machine ever built, they were time saver when sewing meters and meters of ruffles on a 1850s dress, when you were used to sew 1840s dresses by hand, but really, sewing machine technology has moved on :)¹ i.e. since the second half of the 19th century :D

    Finally started the quilting on the coat I've been working on for a very long time now. This whole process has been so slow and I want to be wearing it already.I'm using the Cris Wood Sews throw jacket pattern, with a lining and a very thin, very warm wool batting.Linen for the exterior is thrifted, dyed by me with indigo, various tannins, and a little bit of rust. Quilted with cotton sashiko thread also dyed with indigo.#quilting #HandmadeWardrobe #SustainableTextiles #NaturalDye #indigo
