How lucky to live and work in a place that offers such beauty.

The western span of the Bay Bridge above calm waters, with a little boat in front. Treasure Island in also visible

The sign for Bay Cruise & Ferry Terminal, shaped like a boat, painted white and red, against a pure deep blue sky

Sunset an Aquatic Park, little boats scattered at anchor in the Bay, mountain across the bay in the background, and the top of the northern tower of the Golden Gate Bridge just peaking above. Golden muted colors veering toward pinks and purples

The space between piers 15 and 17 is filling with fog emanating from Fog Bridge, an art installation at the Exploratorium museum of science, art, and human perception.

Gorgeous day in San Francisco. But also: loving Analogue Pro Camera app and the filmic quality of photos it produces…

The Transamerica Pyramid is centered against a purple, pink, and blue sky at dusk, with the light at the very top shining. Muted tones, peaceful

An alley in San Francisco’s Mission district shine with sunset light reflecting off painted walls and a pool of water on the ground

The top of Mission Dolores’s bell tower receives sunset rays against a perfect turquoise sky

A lowrider car sits parked in front of classic San Francisco houses. It is black with a red side stripe. A guy in black jeans, white t-shirt, and white and red baseball cap leans casually against the trunk, hands in his pockets

I sewed this cool quilted bag! It turned out great and it’s going to make for a good gift for a special person. And best of all, it was all done with scrap fabric! #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

Front side of a round bag made with scrap fabric that has been quilted into a star pattern. The background is bright yellow, and the star various shades of blue. It has an adjustable strap made of webbing.

Back side of the same bag. The pattern here has horizontal fat stripes alternating between yellow and three shades of blue

I am modeling the bag, showing the front side, sling across one shoulder

And now I am modeling it showing the back side, which has an external pocket. My hand is in the pocket and for some reason I have a goofy expression on my face

First attempt at a small quilting project to make the Orbit bag from @helenscloset.bsky.social. I like it! It reminds me of making origami in a good way. #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky #quilting

A me-made t-shirt I just finished in my favorite color. It fits! It’s got a collar! It’s hemmed nicely! And I didn’t have to fight the sewing machine and fabric because I finally nailed the alchemy between walking foot, stretch needles, and tension. 😌

Love this… as a new sewist and a climber I would love to make my own climbing pants! #sewing #garmentsewing #sewsky community: are there resources to find climbing specific patterns?

So, like… how many shirts is too many shirts to make? 🫣 I love the fit of this one, and am excited that I get to make my own French cuffed formal shirts now! Time to move on to pants… and get frustrated in a whole new way! #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky #memademay

Very, very proud of this one. I took great care with all constructions and seams, and the results paid off. More ease around the chest fits comfortably but still snug, which I like. And I love the fabric! #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky #memademay

Shirt is done! It’s a bit too tight in the chest area and needs a bit more ease around the scye, but overall it’s pretty spot on. I am absurdly pleased and am so happy that thanks to @freesewing.org I can easily adjust the pattern for my next one! #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

Chat, I spoke too soon… I messed up the buttonhole placement somehow! Do I have to unstitch the whole thing? 😫 #sewing #menwhosew #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

Progress! This time the sleeves are correctly mirrored. Sleeves have been attached and the seams flat felled! I had to unstitch and reattach one because it had come out looking like trash the first time, but now I’m proud of this work! #sewing #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

New shirt started… how did I just find out about @freesewing.org? What a dream to be able to create customized patterns based on accurate measurements! So far this Simon shirt is coming along nicely… #sewing #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

Help! Am I the only idiot to have made this mistake? 😂 And is the only fix to cut a new sleeve, pick all the side and armhole stitching, and sew on a new sleeve? 😫 Otherwise, I quite like the fit of this shirt after altering the pattern! #sewing #sewist #garmentsewing #sewsky

I could use some real world tips from the #sewsky #garmentsewing #sewing #sewist community on how to deal with very stretchy fabric. I have stretch needles, a walking foot, I’ve tried twin needles, all the tension settings, and it’s still a mess. Working with knit Lycra t-shirt fabric… help?

A “quick” project that took a lot longer than expected… it’s surprisingly hard to figure out the right relationship of circle bottom to body width so they watch properly! #sewing #sewsky

I’ve made this shirt, from scratch! I’m learning to sew with the goal of being able to make high end men’s clothing. This is a more informal shirt, and the second one I made—I learned a whole lot by making many mistakes in the first one! Do you have resources to find patterns and get better?
