YUPPPP. Temporarily doing up the seams periodically is the way to go. I had to add extra decorative panels to my Batgirl suit to give myself back some breathing room.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 1d

Haha! Well, you still could have done most of that flat, and then just added the ones that cross seams after ;) So it's not entirely a struggle!

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 1d

I guarantee you that it's a fraction of the effort of trying to add complicated surface details to a 3d object!!!!!

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 1d

The thing about sewing is that you have to work flat as long as possible. Add all the surface detail to the pieces of a pair of pants or jacket or whatever before you sew up the seams. If you're upcycling existing garments, take them apart if possible, detail, then reassemble. It's just easier.

Oops lost my alt text: POV of a photoshoot; in the foreground is an iPad balanced on the viewer’s thighs, feet kicked up on a coffee table, the screen whited out, and in the background is a whole photoshoot of Rumi and her boyfriend from KPop Demon Hunters, bathed in purple and blue light.

Helping a smidge with @kameraninja.bsky.social’s shoot today and otherwise being a warm body in the building for insurance purposes. This is my view. I’m so entertained.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 4d

HAHHAHAH that's so funny. He's rooting for you tho....

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 5d

It took me like 3 hours to get it connected to the network again, but I did it. Murderbot I WILL fight you.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 5d

Come out when we do milk bath in the spring! I wanna have some fluffy and whimsical magical girl backdrops and set pieces in it

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 5d

No one visiting Blood Pool has remarked on him yet but it’s fine. He’s there, and he’s happy to see them.

I'll probably be giving it a go once they support digital files and non-US clients/sellers, but it honestly seems like it'll fizzle. The US-only rule is basically the only thing keeping dropshippers at bay.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 5d

Every time I google the error it's like "yeah mine was doing that too and then one day it just stopped. no idea."

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 5d

I know it's funniest to post about Murderbot (the 3D printer) having problems because of the name, but unfortunately for me, I have invoked some sort of cosmic destiny in naming it that, as it is legitimately the ONLY printer we have with problems.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 11d

Seems so, in chronological order it’s alllll rejections and then acceptances :( Sorry you didn’t get in! It sucks that these things are so hard to do now.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 11d

There’s def some now, three diff people on my timeline posted after you did about getting accepted.

conversation from the shop:
"It's like when you dump all the Lego pieces out of their bags and then you look at the instructions and don't know where to start. My mind is the Lego bags."

resin kit from @dangerousladies.ca

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 15d

Ok!! I’ll let her know.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 15d

It’s such a joke.

Also as an aside — do you still have Fearne staff files? I had someone today looking.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 15d

It appears that you cannot use any letter on the bottom row unless you put an apostrophe on either side of it, because the text tool... used to apply text to models... is now looking for math equations first and foremost.

Jenn @quicksparrows.bsky.social · 15d

Fusion 360 updated and now has a glitch or problem where you can't use the letter "x" in the text tool. LMAO.... god...

I do this year round and love it! I have lots of clients who don’t cosplay but are the parents of cosplayers ♥️

Diana Soreil @ Kumoricon !!! @silencedrowns.com · 18d

while every cosplayer justifiably hates “hey can you make my Halloween costume for $50? My party is in four days,” the version of this I love is poor baffled parents showing up in cosplay communities going “help, my child wants to do this for Halloween and I’m totally lost”

protect these parents

Shop conversations from last ten minutes:
- Rabbits are not rodents or marsupials
- can we train Bryan to not spook at loud noises and sudden movements like people train horses
- the show Home Movies
- "what the fuck is an oryctolagus"
- they should make jousting rabbits, like robot ones. toys.
