SYW Sew Yr Own Clothes to Fit:
The alltime 👌 💯 👍 book of fundamentals of clothesmaking is "Metric Pattern Cutting" by Winnifred Aldritch
How do I know this? My tailoring teacher stressed that this was /the/ book to have. She was right.
They've changed it a little each time it's re-issued; fashionable cuts, computers, etc, but *Any Version Is 98% Same Stuff*
With this book (& MPC4Men/Children) you can make basically any 20th-c Western clothes from scratch.
It is /dirt cheap/ 2nd hand.
A mutual from Twitter just made an account on m.s, and I'm waiting for their toots to federate so I can actually talk to them, lmao
@swordjaw I'm gonna make the most of it and hit up a bookstore on the way back since I'm not usually in the area and I'll have an excuse to.
i have to go into work tomorrow. 🙃

December... Now...
I'm gonna hit the bed soon, but I wanna drop another one of the pieces from that card game I worked on.
Look at this Honest Mimic. A nice one. A TRUE friend.
Definitely not bad. No way.

I didn't know this so I didn't know if anyone else did, but good to know!
PSA: Google just activated on every account a feature that tracks your location (or approximate location) when and where you do every action. So it doesn't just record "Listened to Cher 17 times on November 29th" it also adds the PRECISE GPS coordinates of WHERE you listened to Cher 17 times.
I would advice going into your account activity settings and disabling this!
Happy birthday, cutie pie meow <3

@swordjaw Of course, the easiest thing to do would be to just organize one myself and advertise it until people show up, but I'm inherently wary of not being able to curate who's showing up in the first place.
But, an artist I know around here used to do that -- advertise that she'd be working at a local cafe on her accounts every week. I went once when I still lived in the area, and it was nice!
The 2017 Mastodon Mini-Census is here!
It's only 10 questions, so it's nice and short :]
Please boost this so we can get as many responses as possible
It'd be nice to have some consistently creative friends who live around me to keep me accountable. We could do a weekly check-in at a coffee shop or something and see what everybody's made.
It’s amazing, I’m the reason / Everybody fired up this evening
I’m exhausted, barely breathing / Holding on to what I believe in

Wanted to make one final piece in the illustration series I had started back in January & February with Zecilys and Aaron, wrapping it up with Peraleus of course! I'm honestly kind of surprised I didn't give them a dedicated illustration all year til now, but there we are :|9
