Sewing for myself I will eyeball just about any measurement. Sewing for my husband who I know will tell everyone in his office that I made the shirt and I break out the metal ruler. #sewing #sewsky #garmentsewing

Tried to get this done over the weekend but the need for groceries and chores got in the way. Just needed to do the buttons today. Fabric is a cotton that is naturally a little wrinkly. Looks cute in person but not sure how the wrinkles work on camera. Pattern info⬇️ #sewing #sewsky #garmentsewing

Sunday night pattern cutting. This is a @helenscloset.bsky.social #cameronbutton up for my husband. Trying a new projector set up. Takes a minute to calibrate, but much better than the Ditto. We just attached the new projector to the Ditto pole with an old gorillpod. #sewing #sewsky #garmentsewing

Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

I have mentioned before that I am the mom of a trans woman, but I am also the mom of a veteran (different child). I would really appreciate it if this administration would stop directly attacking my family.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

The stores near me are safe for now. From what I understand, liquidation sales at the closing stores start Saturday. This is sad to see. This is a failure through mismanagement. There is still a large enough market to support a quality fabric store chain. #sewing #sewsky thehill.com/homenews/nex...

Ending voting for women is a core part of the Evangelical plan for the country. They have even considered implementing “household” voting where each family only casts one vote (and we know who decides). This is the first step. (Image reposted with ALT)

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens

The vast majority of married women cannot present a valid birth certificate
While the vast majority of Americans have a birth certificate, tens of millions of married women could not present their birth certificate as proof of citizenship under the SAVE Act, as it does not display their current legal name.
A survey from the Pew Research Center found that 79 percent of American women married to men have taken their spouse's name. When women who have hyphenated their surname are also accounted for, 84 percent of American women have changed their surname.
Nationwide, approximately 69 million women could not use their birth certificate to prove their identity or citizenship status under the SAVE Act.
Additionally, 5 percent of married men have also changed their surname, accounting for approximately 4 million men nationwide who could also not present an acceptable birth certificate under the SAVE Act. The legislation does not mention the potential option for these Americans to present change-of-name documentation or a marriage certificate in combination with a birth certificate to prove their citizenship. This shows yet another area in which the legislation makes no attempts to ensure that citizens' voting rights are protected. Seemingly, the SAVE Act would rather err on the side of disenfranchisement.

If you have an embroidery machine, what file format do you use? I have only ever used a Brother with PES files. I am thinking of a project, but I want to know what formats are commonly used besides Brother. #sewing #sewsky

This feels like a challenge to me. How many of these words can I include in visible projects? Embroidery? Quilt? And the inclusion, in my writing, of as many of these diverse words to express the inherent prejudice of bias and stereotypes that leads to injustice.
