After a day of heavy/important conversation with the #ScottishGreens yesterday it was nice to do some sewing at the #Edinburgh sewcial club #sashiko #embroidery #visibleMending

If you are one of those people comfortable enough to initiate conversation with strangers feel free to say hi :p

Weirdly productive day at the machine so far :o trousers just need some patch pockets and belt loops and they mainly fit... :o will need to take the legs up a little I think. Also yes I did put that shirt on just for the photo :p #madeByMe

Made some time to do some #sewing! Been nice to have a chill #weekend and managed to just about follow the pattern I have for some trousers (made from a bed sheet) It's not perfect but I understand the pattern a lot better now so mission accomplished 😁#hobby

Since I had my model back for the weekend, finally did some adjustments to this dress she's had or years to a) fix some holes in seams and b) take the waist in. It's now #sinched and fitting but theres still a bit of bagginess on the top of the chest/arm and not sure if just shoving in some tiny darts will make it look weird. #sewing #photobombedByMyCat #advice (pointing at the bit where I need to remove some fabric)

My wife has moved down to Newcastle to start her PhD so up here on my own getting stuff sorted to sell. For all the folks who made "bachelor lifestyle" or "living off pot noodles" comments, I am determined to prove you wrong :p #lastNightsDinner #salad #shopLocal roasted pecans, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, cranberries and golden beetroot with 3 types of salad leaves, 4 types of micro leaves and the last of our garden tomatoes in a balsamic and pomegranate dressing #food #yum

Picked this up at a market during the week, I'm a big fan of #SaulWilliams and #coldcut and generally not a fan of #war so seemed like it'd be up my street :p #notInMyName it is very good

Had a big run about in the garden then back inside for a rest :p #HRHZeldaTheCat #cats

Since #sewing folk seem fairly active on here, looking for #advice. Taking this down a size and the top fabric is doing some mega fraying, when doing the resizing should I use the lining or the top layer to get the fit right? Worried about handling things too much

Picked up a preloved #sewing box off someone in the shire and think it's rather cute

Soph picked me up a copy of #IbramXKendi's #BeAntiRacist, I have never been big on #journaling (or writing in books generally...) but going to try and force myself into a routine for this :/ may need an #accountabilabuddy :p #reading

I finally got round to finishing off my first #sewing project! The shirt is "done", shoulders are a bit rough and some stray frayed bit on the paisley fabric (more delicate than I'd expected)

Last day before #backToWork so doing some #sewing with #nineInchNails for company. Shirt 1 is nearly there, it's a bit scrappy in places and needs buttons/hemming but hopefully be done in time for our sewing class "graduation" dinner next week! Record is #NIN downward spiral #RichardPrince collab

Been a adf fan for aaaages and saw this in a wee record shop. One of my favourite albums from the last few years #accessDenied #asianDubFoundation it's an epic blend of satire, political commentary and banging beats #records

Sophs away for a few days so taking over the dining table for some Sunday #sewing Bit of practice with the new machine on a mock up shirt, might get round to the "nice fabric" some point this week :o

Picked up a copy of #3FeetHighAndRising and it's just the right vibe for a Sunday morning of housework :p #DeLaSoul #vinyl

Zelda once again helping with the #sewing :/ cutting out some sleeves today and she's doing some thorough quality control :/ #HRHZeldaTheCat #catsOfMastodon

Had the work #hackathon this week, was refreshing to get nerdy and excited about something techy again... Been a long while of stagnancy (least in terms of enthusiasm) so made a nice change. Now for a long weekend of #foraging in the sun and #sewing on the sofa ;) least once this floofy butt gets off my lap #caturday #catsOfMastodon #lapCat

Da dada da daaa! #HRHZeldaTheCat #Zelda #TearsOfTheKingdom
