    New server so time for an introduction! Often lost in my hobbies and sometimes this thing called life. Wandering through midlife and wondering how I got here. Late diagnosed AuDHD and a Scorpio. Cat and snail admirer. Looking to make friends and prefer to use Mastodon for the things I love. #introduction #NewHere #cats #snail #knitting #sewing #crochet #linocut #films #music
  • Is #sewing fedi a thing?

    @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

    @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!

    @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 )
