Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 1hMy college reached out with the opportunity to “communicate regularly” with an AI chatbot. I immediately opted out, but WTF. This is one of the most disappointing things I’ve ever heard from a liberal arts institution that used to pride itself on teaching critical thinking. 170
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 4hI have experimented with adding fish-eye darts to the back to make it make more fitted. (But only on non-waterproof versions since I didn’t want to introduce more stitching holes). 010
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 4hI did. While I like the option to make it more fitted, putting the drawstring in was kind of a pain, and I don’t love the look or feel of having tassels swinging around my mid-section. 110
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Thank you! I’m pretty proud of the little details like that that came out well. (And having a fancy machine with all the special feet helps too). 030
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Since the original jacket, I’ve also made a marimekko-style one, a fleece-backed orange one (for extra warmth), and a mustard yellow one. But the green will always be my favorite. 0252
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 03/10/2026All the hardware came from Goldstar Tools. This was also an excellent excuse to purchase a heavy duty snap press, which is also great for rivets on jeans and grommets. 1110
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I wanted a fully waterproof jacket that could handle a Seattle winter, so I used the 3-ply Ultrex from Seattle Fabrics, and sealed all the seams with iron seam tape. To maintain the waterproofing, no pins were used! Instead, a lot of clips and masking tape. www.seattlefabrics.com/56-3-Ply-Ult... 2130
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Some people have had questions about my jacket, so for my #garmentsewing and #seattlesews friends, here are the details! I made this jacket in 2017. It’s the Kelly Anorak pattern from Closet Core Patterns. 4324
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you build it, they will come…play an expensive sport that caters to a very specific demographic. 180
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Being sassy is far more fun and powerful than being nice, and neither have any correlation with how much people actually like you. 0183
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I sewed it! I’m a proud member of our mighty little #seattlesews community. I’d had written up the making of the jacket for my (now deleted) instagram. I’ll dig up the pics and post it here soon! 120
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It simultaneously feels like yesterday, yet also a fever dream from a different lifetime. 2180
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Seattle has been a slightly dimmer place ever since you moved away. 030

Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Three years ago today. Let’s get out there and make fun of the fear mongering bullies. (And bring a jacket. It might rain). 2050073
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 16/06/2026These offices and the people in them did a lot of great work. I wish Zahilay the best in creating a new structure, and I hope it’s as effective as the old. 0160
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 16/06/2026I want this every day. I don’t care about the soccer part, but the city felt so alive this morning. 0221
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Ugh, is he still doing that? Apparently he thinks it’s funny? He doesn’t know funny. 140
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I couldn't be more proud for this guy. I hope Fox never learns that people have no fear of telling the blunt truth to their cameras. 1190
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I worked for Dwight for close to a decade, and this is fantastic news for Seattle. 0210

Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Interesting. I guess it’s true that I haven’t gotten formal notice yet. There’s been nothing in writing so far. I’d love it to all have been nothing! 030
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Thank you! I am hopeful one of the new positions will be a fit. We don’t know much about the new structure yet! 0100
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Hey @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social now’s your chance to get some really amazing King County folks to come over to the City! 0510
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 19/11/2025I’m not shocked, but that doesn’t make me any less unemployed. I’m sad to lose a job I’ve loved. If anyone wants to hire a kick ass project manager with deep knowledge of local government, and who sometimes mocks Fox reporters, DM me! 58511
Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 05/11/2025We can’t have all our candy in one night! Need to spread it out over a few days. 060

Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 18/09/2025I get a lot of “oh, I wish I could say stuff like you did.” Guess what! You can! Just say the thing. No need to wait for an idiot with a camera crew. CALL THEM ON IT. 0161

Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Thanks to r/Seattle for giving me a laugh this morning and sharing this post from Seattle Police Officers Guild on the other site. How do these people get to/from work in the winter if they’re afraid of the dark? 5433
