I’ve been a little quiet because I’ve been working on something kind of new. I got this ‘temple style’ top years ago, and thought I’d better get a pattern out of it before I forget. I like it but it’s in really heavy cotton, so not very light. I thought I’d like the same thing but floatier but in back, so if I wore a tank top beneath it it would subtly show through. #Sewing

It’s a bit of a departure from what I usually make as it has inset sleeves, and darts - shallow, but nonetheless.
The hurdles for me are the usual: I still haven’t taken the plunge and purchased a serger, so french seams and bias binding, I think.
The other hurdle is just getting Dora not to lay and burrow in the thing I’m trying to pin together. #sewing #SewingWithCats

@Remittancegirl You can sew the sleeves in flat- after sewing the shoulder seams, but before sewing up side seams. And if you have a zigzag machine, you can use it to finish the seams. I did that before I bought a serger.

@c_merriweather Yes, I most definitely can and will sew the sleeves in flat, but I really don’t like the finish my zigzag stitch gives. I’ve experimented a bunch but it’s never really nice. I’m a snob about seam finishes. It comes from all the kimono sewing work. This is my problem, not yours. You’re sensible. I’m a leeeeettle bit obsessive.

The thing is, it’s not like anyone ever sees the seam at the arm hole. I know this. It’s stupid. And yet… *sigh* in my mind’s eye, I see it all the time.
The truth is, I don’t even like serged seams. They still look cheap and unfinished to me.

@Remittancegirl @valhalla Ah, I am used to doing large costume work and alterations.
I am not putting french seams in a full Elizabethan court costume, that will have to withstand multiple washings or dry cleaning. I will do hand sewing and cartridge pleating (gathering) where it is necessary.

@rapitadaglialieni Esatto! E sicuramente non ha conosciuto nemmeno le mie di nonne, forse non ha avuto nonne.
Io a volte resto senza parole. Oltretutto la pasta si conserva a lungo, ci fai primi asciutti, minestre, frittate, timballo ma boh

Don't you know who #PeterThiel and his #Palantir are?
We'll remind you:
This is what they were aiming to do to #WikiLeaks in 2011, after #WikiLeaks revealed secret US government files.

#Berlusconi government's assistance to the US in destroying #Iraq:
- 1,300 missions from #Sigonella
- the largest airborne troop movement since WWII: the 173rd Airborne Brigade deployed from #Vicenza
- the largest C-17 combat movement from #Aviano in Italian history
