    Second craft show ever - Stress!!Sold a few things so not a total bust. Need to work on better displays, I think. While packing up after the show the one figurine that was just the original mold and *didn't* have the additional round base poured for the bottom of it was toppled by my husband, fell to the floor, and broke. That's a sign to *always* supplement the original mold with a stable base for them, I suppose. #CraftShow #Handmade #HandCrafted #Sewing #Craft #Art #FediArt #MastoArt

    @sinituulia @laumapret my mother always had a bottle of spray starch to be carefully ignored while ironing clothing, so I have one too :Dlately when I want to feel fancy or I have to spend the whole day outside I've started to use it when ironing my linen shirts, and it does work in making them feel nice and crinkle less, but it doesn't make stuff significantly stiffer like I've seen in the videos and blog posts of people dipping garments in starch.Maybe it's possible, if one uses *a lot*, but I'm not sure it's really designed for being used that way.I'm not sure how much it costs, because I still have the bottle I stol… er, borrowed from my mother¹ a few years ago, since each shirt-ful takes very little, and I suspect that for this usecase it would actually cost less than making it at home from food-grade starch, as the latter needs to be made in a bigger batch (and it doesn't keep, not it's really safe to starch all of your clothing and store them starched long term, I believe).I still want to try and make the liquid one to dip some collars and petticoats in, but there are only so many hours in the day, and starching looks like a couple days of commitment.¹ we live close enough that she can easily take it back once ever couple years when she needs it :)

    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

    Skirt on the waistband! Can't wait for kiddo to try it on so I can check level and make sure it hangs well without the pillow doing weird things It's just 3 straight panels of 60" inch wide fabric. The arrangement of box pleats was faaaar trickier than I had anticipated. Victorian waistbands are surprisingly sloppy by modern standards. The extra fabric is just folded down and hangs inside the skirt, adding bulk for the waist spring. Trooper as always immediately hides under the hoops. He gets super excited when a hoop skirt is set up. Loves dashing in and out.And yes, he will play hide and seek under the skirt while it is being worn.#sewing #HistoricalCostuming #CatsOfMastodon
