Always crafting
@learnandcreate.bsky.social
Lab rat by day, artist by night. Just a thread for all my various crafting projects. I dabble in many things such as weaving, jewelry, sewing, shoe-making, leather work, etc.
That's definitely a horrible thought, and unfortunately it's not outside the realm of possibility. I pray the day we don't have to deal with ICE any more comes swiftly

Looks lovely, definitely a fun fashion statement.

The old guard can have their ivory tower if they want it, but actually connecting science with people is ultimately what matters. Science is a group effort and very much for everyone

I had the same issue at first, but going back a page and then forward to the username select again somehow fixed it for me

Haha, I wish.... No, it's just a fine cotton. It feels nice and soft, though.

Just a little table loom couldn't hurt... but then what if you want more weaving space? Ok, get a bigger table loom, too. But what about those 8 or 12 shaft designs? Time to get a floor loom or two... wait. Where did all the space go?

It can, I just don't have one for denim, just one for shirts

Probably somewhere in the middle. I'm planning on topstitching with heavy thread, and I'm hand cranking all the thick spots because I want to protect the machine.

I did a bit of googling, and it depends. A cheap pair of jeans looks like $30-50 (not on sale), and denim fabric is $10-20/yd(no sale). I used about a yard and a half for the pieces, so with pricey cloth that breaks even, but quality may be higher. If you have fun making stuff, it may be worth it.

Ok, I lied. It was bothering me too much. Well that's why I wound extra warp, I guess. The cut off piece will be a nice finishing test, at least!
