There are no clothing machines. All garments are handmade. ALL of them. There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist. Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

I recently finished the #SnowTop by Jules Smit. Made of a vintage linen from Maker's Resale that I dyed. Feels like a good transitional piece for summer/fall. Details on Threadloop: threadloop.app/members/fabr... #GarmentSewing #Sewsky

Finished the #FibreMoodKristy. The V is a little deep for me, and I'm considering dyeing it, but loved making it. Might be fun in a higher wale corduroy. Full details on Threadloop: threadloop.app/members/fabr... #GarmentSewing #UpcycleSewing #UpcycleFashion #Sewsky

My daughter bought me this lovely leather clutch from an antique shop for my birthday. I gave it a quick wash with saddle soap and applied a leather conditioner, and wow is it transformed.

Last year I made a queen size quilt top as part of a sewalong. A year later I'm finally getting around to quilting it, which is difficult on a home sewing machine. I think I'm just going to have to do a few lines at a time and accept the imperfections so I can finish. #Sewsky #FlowerChecksQAL

Pleased with how this thrifted textile came out after overdyeing. I've had it in my stash for awhile, but the green and white it was before felt very St. Patrick's Day. This fabric is becoming #PomonaPants. #GarmentSewing #UpcycleSewing

I made this blanket coat from Small Museum last year and I don't wear it (full length), because it just kind of looks like a robe to me. But I pulled it out today and am thinking of cropping it into a long blazer. Is this better? Obviously need to move the pockets. #garmentsewing #sewsky

#GarmentSewing folks, what jacket patterns do you like that are not really oversized? I like the styles of #swsrue and the #florajacket, but I can't size down for a closer fit because I'm already in the smallest drafted size.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

A Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds that Mamdani's proposals (freezing rent, free universal child care, taxes on the rich) are overwhelmingly popular, especially among Democrats – and that's nationally, not just in deep-blue NYC. www.yahoo.com/news/poll-zo...

The thing I love most about Zohran Mamdani are his ideas for how to make working people’s lives better. I also love how those same ideas make the most greedy people alive utterly furious.

Anyone who says "This is what they voted for" in response to the tragedy unfolding in Texas is having a vile thought and needs to sit shamefully in a corner until they learn what solidarity is.

When I see the razor thin margin of the house vote, I remember that 3 Democrats have died in office since March alone. I am angry about the clutching of power at the expense of our country. I am angry at party leadership for doing absolutely nothing to stop any of this. Shame on y'all.

A couple more quick finds this morning. My second monarch of the year (a male) and one of the blue gossamer wing butterflies (Celastrina spp.), I think this one is a summer azure. #nativeplants #monarchbutterfly #gardensky #pollinators #bloomscrolling

Definitely seeing fewer pollinators every year, despite continuing to add both larval host plants and nectar plants. Here are a few I've seen this summer though. #nativeplants #bloomscrolling #pollinators #gardensky #pollinatorgardens

Native climbing prairie rose (Rosa setigera) is such a dopamine boost. It looks so magical on a trellis and, unlike the hybrid roses from a traditional nursery, it's full of bees. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #roses #gardening #gardensky #pollinatorgarden
