Last RB: apparently this is how I find out my mastodon instance is closing forever - by someone else randomly boosting it into my feed. 😐
No email, no notice, no nothing. I harbour zero ill will for the person running & closing it, but the systems in place are woefully inept.
Signing up to an instance in the first place was SUCH a ball ache that I’m already dreading migrating & wondering if it’s worth it at all…

Up on FehrTrade - a quick top I sewed using a grey cotton jersey remnant and an old fave pattern! It was feeling a bit plain so I added some neon HTV to make more unofficial #TheVampireLestat merch. 😈
Perfect for an outdoor summer gig!

On FehrTrade: a quick merino jersey top I sewed in an afternoon using our Versatili-Tee pattern! It looks like a regular teeshirt from the front, but it's got a cycling secret in the back, thanks to the unique wraparound design (no side seams!).

Up on FehrTrade today I'm showing off my windfall of fabrics from the recent Interview with the Vampire props auction!
I love that I can combine my favourite show with my favourite hobby - I've given myself the gift of future sewing projects and an excuse to rewatch the show to see if I can spot any of these...

I bought this 100% linen in Paris & paired it with a shirtdress pattern from the 10/24 Burda magazine.
Despite looking like a basic belted shirtdress at first glance, the tie is integrated into the dress pleats itself! Very clever drafting. 👏

I'm a week late with my annual birthday sewing post, but I'm a diva that takes a week to celebrate anyhow... 💅
I paired Burda Jan 2024 105 with FibreMood exclusive viscose/wool jersey & I love it!

I know of a very nicely converted 30-ish metre Dutch barge going cheap (zone 2 London mooring spot not included but rental agreement transferable) if anyone knows of anyone looking to buy?
(The conversion was done by the previous owners and is sound. Current owners are clueless.)

“Albert Bridge to remain accessible to cycles and pedestrians for the next year.”
Fixed it for you, BBC.
(This local resident is fucking DELIGHTED! It’s a joy to cross right now - children & runners & people on bikes & even dogs all smiling across the full width.)

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?
There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
