Seeing ads for the new HP branded sewing machine are so fucking infuriating

You want to pop culture brand a sewing machine? Give me a Picard 'Make it Sew" machine not an opportunity to give more money to that anti-trans crusader

Hey, crafty people! I almost forgot about Me Made May. I'm wearing one of my many Persephone dresses, by Made For Mermaids.

#WeekendSewingClub holiday special… this is the face of a woman thinking “fuck you I won”.

I jettisoned the coat I started last week (energy too scarce to waste on a project that doesn’t excite me), and redirected attention to the water-resistant, bonded houndstooth wool, but with a ‘simple’ cape pattern (new look, N6768).

It was like sewing a tarpaulin. Should have been doable in two days, but took 5. My hands are TRASHED. I love the result. #sewing #tailoring #iMadeItMyself #ItHasPockets

Me, mirror selfie, wearing knee-length, high neck black/white houndstooth cape and a slight, but smug smirk.

ALT

The cape, hung up, buttoned right up to the neck, flat against the wall, emphasising the width, the arm-slits, diagonal section seams, and the big, black buttons down the front.

Detail of a pocket, set into the diagonal section seam, held open, because they’re damned near invisible otherwise.

it's been quite a while, so lemme write a new #intro

#introduction #introductions

i'm raven, a silly #transgirl on the internet who likes to write, and create free-to-use #photography (mostly landscapes). u can find me on mastodon, and see what an overview of what i’m up to on my now page. i have so many interests and try my best to experience new things in this short life. some sort of neurospicy, tend to be overly genuine, a bit corny, over-opinionated at times

🩺 #nurse, 📸 #photographer, 👩‍💻 #linux nerd, 🏳️‍⚧️ #trans girl, 💞 #relationship anarchist, 🌱 #vegan for the animals, 🌹 #leftist, ✊ #union steward, 🧗‍♀️ #queer outdoor girlie, 🌠 star stuff, 🚴‍♀️ bikes are cool, 😽 certified girl/boy/nb-kisser, 😝 #silly adventurer

i work in the OR as a nurse and i love my job

“chaotic af, kinda scatter brained, but smart if that makes sense”

“very direct and able to be vulnerable very easily (a good thing!) and the most ethically-minded and community-focused person ive met!”

“an iceberg. you’ve got a fun, flirty, smolder of a vibe when people meet you initially. then after getting to talk with you people see that you’ve got way more going on under the surface of the water”

i upload my photography as creative commons attribution license, i don't own a car, i have a #cat named Loki who i post about under the #catsofmastodon tag, i'm #divorced after a 14 year marriage (not the outcome i wanted, but here i am), and now happily in relationships as a relationship anarchist.

i live in #pdx and want to make it a better place by organizing and creating #unions and #community

i do #rock-climbing, #bjj, #running, #swimming, #sailing, currently recovering from injuries

i love #webdesign and created a #hugo theme which i use for my website (on github)

An #introduction post. New here, if I break a norm, please DM me.

I hate #BigTech and #surveillance and love #FOSS and #sewing. I am a non-violent #anarchist #vegan and politically engaged in #uspol and my local community. I've been a #hacker and #autodidact my entire life. I love learning. Very #queer and #transgender.

I've zero tolerance those who deny the genocide in #Palestine. I am rabidly pro #Ukraine.

I don't talk about my family, friends, work, town, or local organizing. #WeKeepUsSafe

"Sewing machines sold since 1980 are made with ever more plastic parts and lower quality metals. Simultaneously, the introduction of computerized models, which look fancier, drove a perception of superior quality. A perception happily exploited by the manufacturers who were actually turning out machines of decreasing quality and durability."

We wholehearted endorse this blog post!

Finished my paper airplane FPP #quilt recently and am already well into the next project. Except for the backing which I don't like enough to show it's all thrifted and salvaged fabric. Each plane is ditch stitched on my machine and then the "speed lines" are big hand stitching. #sewing #quilting

Rectangular modern quilt with twelve horizontal rectangular blocks, arranged in two columns and six rows, each featuring a stylized paper airplane pieced from coordinating fabrics, and finished with a narrow blue binding.

The airplanes appear in a range of colors including greens, blues, pinks, yellows, reds, and purples, with each plane made from three related shades to suggest folded paper layers.

Backgrounds behind the planes are highly varied: some are tone‑on‑tone prints in lime or grass green, others are cool blues and teals with abstract patterns, and several are deep red with small scattered motifs like dots or swirls.

I set up a little blog to document some sewing projects rather than clutter up my more nature-focussed feed here. You can follow it via Mastodon @kim if that's your kind of thing. I can't promise it'll be consistently updated!
