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.

There are still so many features that had been introduced there (client-side includes with fallback, “everything is a link”, etc) that are still sorely missing 8-(
I wonder if there was also a growing dislike for XML in general behind this choice? (hurr durr namespace confusing). It's ironic that we have to thank MS for pushing for the little support of XML in browsers we still have (and they are now working on removing 8-/).

IIRC the WHATWG was set up before Google had its own browser (I think it was Mozilla + Opera + Apple at the time?) and it almost made sense, although there was no reason to ditch XHTML 2.0 altogether. What really drives me mad is that EVEN IF one could consider the XEvent and XForms interface to be suboptimal for the kind of “dynamic” web that was being pushed (possibly by Google behind the scenes) that was really no reason to throw away the whole of XHTML 2.

Must see from @euronews
Fact check: Is the EU launching a social media platform called #WSocial?
"A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, that the EU is not launching or funding any social media platform, and that there is currently no EU-backed project called "W"
[...] W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

Nella cattolicissima #Malta è in vigore la legge sull'#aborto più retriva d'Europa. Mentre la società civile chiede una norma più laica il governo prova a uscire dall'imbarazzo promettendo la grazia per le donne condannate per interruzione di gravidanza.👇

Does this mean that capitalism is about making money and not defending rights?
Wow, who would have ever thought...

By the way, whenever I'm in the West, my confidence in my English speaking really takes a hit. I have a hard time understanding people if they speak even a little bit fast, and I feel like communication is a struggle because my own accent is so strong. 😩
