    @laumapret @sinituulia not a real dremel, a dremel-like tool (bought for 25 € :) ), which arount here gets used mostly to cut various things for creative or repair purposes (PCBs, tubes and strips of plastic and metal, etc.)but if you can get access to a shared real dremel that's even better!

    @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.

    Friendly reminder to watch out for AI pattern scams! Lazy pattern makers will do AI patterns (or just be lazy) and instructions that don't math or fit together A friend just reached out to me regarding a quilt block. The pattern was advertised at 12 inch block when it was 14 inches using the pattern. The pictured design wasn't possible!. The math didn't math.She had already painstakingly color coordinated 8 colors for the design, to coordinate with a 12 inch pre-printed block. So I helped her tweak the block design to keep her 8 fabric choices, to get the math to math.What is worse: she blamed herself! The pattern was garbage, it wasn't her fault at all.#sewing

    @sinituulia I suspected something like that :(but now I sort-of want to try and make some back-of-envelope calculation on how cheap you can get by handsewing thrifted materials with gratis patterns from the internet(the frigging lot of time option :D )
