A few months ago, I made this bag as a X-mas present for a family member.

The lush green cotton velvet is reclaimed from a dumpster dived throw pillow case. For the lining, I used black cotton I had lying around.

I added a thrifted necklace from wooden beads and a cute little heart charm.

next i pressed iron-on interfacing (lightweight cotton) to the back of the entire patchwork top to give it strength, sewed patches onto the weaker squares, added a border to make it bigger, made some flower appliqués to inject more colour, and lastly finished it off with bias binding.

the project was rather challenging, huge respect to quilters! now i just love how it brightens up the room, i hope we’ll get to enjoy it for many years to come :) 🌸

my mum and i both used this blankie over the years and it was getting very brittle and tattered. to try to restore it, i first removed the backing, then cleaned up all the loose thread inside.

finally finished mending this patchwork blankie since starting more than a year ago! 🌸💗

it was originally peachy pink but had faded over the decades. back then i had chosen the fabric and arranged the placement, and my mum kindly sewed it together.

After college, Caroline and her roommate bought a used industrial machine to share. But getting it in and out of her walkup apartment in Montreal was harrowing! It puts the "pivot" scene from Friends to shame, honestly - Caroline's brother barely escaped with his life. 😂 ⁠
⁠
Industrial machines are heavy and go very fast, but they do the job well! Caroline doesn't have one anymore, but there could be one in the future for the Blackbird warehouse. Listen to this week's episode to hear lots of stories about our past, present, and future sewing machines!⁠
⁠
Have you ever used an industrial machine?⁠

Meet Amir, Amir is a vampire, he's very old, roughly 500 years, he can't remember exactly when he was born. He takes special herbal teas so he can be out in the daylight. His favourite colour is purple and he has his own style, he doesn't care that people find him odd or excentric.
He's handsewn from thrifted materials and old clothes.

Today I learned to sew a button on a pair of jeans, properly.
Sure I can research it online but I find the internet overwhelming for this sort of thing. And here, I can learn from my mother and hear all the tricks and habits she picked up along her sewing life.

Later, I'll learn to repair a broken seam. I have done it but always very messily and never very well.

Helen learned to sew on this Singer Featherweight - an antique machine that is coveted by many collectors for its simplicity, lightweightness, and even stitching. The only stitch that it does is a straight stitch, but it does it really well! Plus, it's friendly for user repairs and lasts for many years (this pic was taken recently - Helen's mom still has it!). Nowadays, Helen now enjoys a much higher-tech Pfaff Expression 710. Caroline has the same machine, but she has some notes... 👀⁠
⁠
Listen to this week's episode, number 277: Sewing Machine Chat, to hear why Caroline prefers her Bernina! ⁠

"Sound" teableau for 13Mar25

A nod to some of the things on or in Puget Sound: Lighthouses. Giant Pacific Octopus. Sailboat. People who paint Giant Pacific Octopuses on spoons.

Tea tableau in white with red and blue with a lighthouse motif in fabric, china, and figurines. Also a wooden sailboat, a MidCentury glass creamer and sugar set, a white linen tea towel with wild crocheted fringe edges, a tablespoon handpainted with the image of a waving red octopus with yellow eyes, and the tea is English Teatime black tea from Bigelow.

Oh wow, I think I finished the jacket. Attached the bodice lining to the sleeve lining and... That was it, I think. There's nothing left but pressing the ever living heck out of it and maybe documenting it somehow, but... Jacket done? :blob_cat_surprised:

A view of the inside of a jacket that is laid out on a desk. The pretty grey and black check fabric frames the very colourful and ornate gold, blue and bronze brocade lining. The sleeve lining is blue, a matte linen mix, and intricately folded onto pleats to fit inside the arm's eye. Sini's pale hand is on top of the jacket. Everything visible looks done, and there's a little ribbon loop to hang the jacket by, which sticks out at the back of the neck.
