#pix’s sewing stuff

CHOMPY PLUSH IS FINISHED !!!!!!!!!!

oh my little tortoise son, I love him so much

I made him completely of my own pattern! which is the first time I’ve ever done that, at least for a sorta complex shape like he is, and I’m very proud of him 😌

He’s made entirely out of plush fleece, has some glass beads in his legs for weight, and I think is life sized too!

I think someday I’ll make another with darker colors, (the ones I was originally gonna do lol) and one out of minky fabric, and if those go well, I might make a couple more to sell :D

[grizzlyofthesea]

I needed to stop by the craft store to get some stuff for a school project, and I had the idea to try to remake Pix E.'s missing pajamas (and hair clips). They're a little sloppy, but I did my best. ^^'

Pajama materials include solid magenta and teal fabrics, yellow and turquoise paint markers, pink glitter tulle, and iridescent white glitter glue. I painted the stripes onto the pants fabric and the fireflies onto the shirt fabric, stitched on the tulle trim, smeared glitter glue onto the pants fabric to give it that nice sparkle, and sewed the outfit pieces together. The shirt is held in place with Velcro, while the pants are just pants. They're loose and prone to falling down, but that shouldn't be an issue as long as Pix is sitting. As for the hair clips, they're just Rainbow Loom bands held in place by G-clips.

So yeah. My work isn't perfect, but I'm proud of myself for at least trying.

(Also, Mittens Fluff-n-Stuff may or may not be joining my collection depending on how well I do on an upcoming high-stakes test. 👀)

I think the good thing about being asexual is that you can choose when and with whom to start a relationship based on facts, likes and knowledge rather than just sexual attraction and desires. I’d want to meet my best friend with whom I can share everything and we can both enjoy each other’s company and I can wait for that and work on becoming the best person I can be on my own as well!

Wordcount 06 May 2022

An exceptional day! 

Mob AU: 726. Everything seems fine upon Max and Felix's return, until they find out that while they were gone, Rowan and Will may have been involved in a turf war with another gang. (Spoiler: they were)

Hippie AU: 1683. Rowan and Langley come off their mini-vacation, and Will's more than ready to take hers. Except she can't travel alone, because dumb society rules and stuff. Max volunteers. Should be fun!

Original in what I thought was going to be a one-shot kinda thing but it has turned into several fics of a few thousand words each. "River" series for lack of a better title. 2727.

And the star of tonight: Viva New Vegas, 5097 words! I took part in my first-ever writing sprints, got 2 hours done, and this is what I ended up with. I just started with "okay, Gunnar and Boone, walking, Mojave" and ran with it. Will I be able to use any of it? Probably! If nothing else it was good to get the words out and really run with it and see how it turned out. Thanks to the Fallout writers discord for hosting that!

Also today: cut some fabric and sewed some more Y-seam blocks. I seem to need to relearn how to do Y-seams every single time I do them. But blocks were cut and sewn! Pix at end of weekend, maybe?

Total for today: 10,233

Total for May: 33,117

Total for 2022: 779,406

For SEW, were there any alternate versions of the fic? (From the ask game)

Oooh, SEW (aka A Shadow, an Eon, and a Worm, my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon/Worm crossover). I do miss that fic...

So yeah, it actually has been through a few different versions! I can't talk about all of them, because some of them relate to the ending and that's not been written yet, let alone posted, but I can talk about a few. Going under a cut, because this got a lot longer than I expected it to.

The first big one is, of course, the fact that it was actually meant to be a snippet thread, and not a full on fic! I started it because of a Discord conversation, which I no longer remember the full context of but involved jokes of me (at the time using the alias of ShadowVulpix) and a friend (who goes by Eon and has a shiny Ninetales as a profile) being sent to the Worm universe for some reason. The original plan was three or four snippets, I think... the introduction piece, the Lung fight, the small interlude chapter involving Tattletale of the Undersiders, and then a piece that never got written that would involve the Brockton Bay Leviathan fight. Since this was posted on SufficientVelocity, aka a forum site, that worked alright; mini chapters for snippets didn't seem so odd. But then my brain kept writing, and writing, and we ended up with a full fic instead.

The second biggest one was actually a massive plot change; the original idea had Shadow and Eon taking the place of the protagonist characters from PMD: Blue Rescue Team, which is why early chapters have references to some bits of that plot... I think the most obvious one there is a line from chapter 2;

'“Our first exploration was an E Rank, in a forest, pix.” Eon deadpanned. “Of course it was easy for a pair of Fire types.”'

This got changed again not long after, with the plan being for them to be from PMD: Explorers of Sky instead, which was changed between chapters 2 and 3;

'...or the cave in Sharpedo Bluff.”

“I thought you liked Sharpedo Bluff.” Eon queried, seating himself at the base of a tree to watch her.

“I did . It was just kinda drafty, and a bit boring in there...'

And then the third and final change made them a completely new Rescue Team that was unrelated to either of the regions from those two games, which happened... I can't actually remember when for sure, but was before the Leviathan fight. Because of that there's a bunch of early bits that seem a little wobbly, and I had to work out how to link them into my plot plan without it being too weird or obvious; I think there's actually a few of them that I've not properly cleaned up, though I was going to do it in the future before the writer's block hit.

Let's see, what else... I think the last major one is one I need to be careful talking about, because it relates to some stuff that'll be coming up in future chapters (once the brain starts working again), but the part Taylor plays in the endgame of the fic got changed quite a bit due to a comment from one of the readers on SV. They mentioned that Taylor seemed to be getting sidelined compared to her team mates, which I had already noticed and planned to try and do something about, but that comment made me realise that I needed to do a bit more with it and also start it up sooner, which has led to a couple of other changes more recently.

Obviously there's been minor changes that I can't quite remember anymore, but I wouldn't really call those 'different versions' of the fic, just small redrafts. So I think that's everything! Wow that got longer than I expected it to... Thanks for the ask, and hope you enjoyed the look into my brain and this fic's development!

weighted plushie tutorial

so i have been ((vibrating)) to make weighted plushies since i found out That Was A Thing and today i finally got all my ducks in a row

tutorial under the cut

prep work

supplies

poly beads (i purchased mine from Specialspherical on etsy)

funnel (i got mine from the big lots kitchen section)

sewing thread (best to match this to your plushie material. since all mine were polyester blend plushies, i used polyester thread)

sewing needle

seam ripper (i like the ones with the longer handles)

measuring cup

scissors 

produce scale (OPTIONAL)

expertise (skills you need, in link form)

how to use a seam ripper (note: your plushie’s stitches will be stacked vertically on top of each other instead of running horizontally side-by-side. the procedure is exactly the same for this: just pick out one stitch at a time, being careful not to tear any of the plushie’s fabric)

invisible ladder stitch tutorial

time 2 rock and roll

*shitty cell phone pix ahead*

step 1: acquire plush to weight 

i used plushies i already had because i knew i would want to cuddle them, but you can buy new ones or source plushies from thrift stores if you like. goodwill tends to have tons

here is the moose i chose to weight for my initial experiment (which turned out wonderfully)

her full name is Pat, The Moose, Shake-Stick-At-God, Aveaigh Mariagh after this meme

step 2: place hand in poly beads

i chose these specific beads because of their high density--i personally wanted the heaviest plushies i could make while still using poly beads. i decided to use poly beads specifically because i like the feel (think classic beanie babies) and i needed my plushies to remain 100% machine washable

step 3: show audience seam ripper

i have joint pain + muscle weakness + poverty so i bought literally the cheapest seam ripper you can get with a full handle on

step 4: use seam ripper to rip a 2 inch opening in your plushie

before you start, be sure to think about how you usually hold your plush. you want to select a seam that bears as little weight/stress as possible when your plushie is handled, because you don’t want your stitches to pop open later. i go in for Extreme Cuddling (i.e. i toss and turn a lot in my sleep) and so this was a concern for me. 

i ended up tearing out a section of the middle of the back of each plushie i added weight to (except for my weird blob dude because he didn’t have a seam there)

like so

step 5: remove floof 

i left the head stuffed because i wanted to maintain the head shape & softness of my plushie for cuddling purposes

i removed all of my body-floof because, again, i wanted The Heaviest Critters so mine are completely filled with poly beads, leaving no room for the stuffing to go back in. if you want a less-heavily-weighted plushie, set your stuffing aside so you can put some back in later

you can save your extra floof or throw it out. i saved mine because i also crochet amigurumi, and extra stuffing always comes in handy

step 6: measure out your poly beads

this is where the produce scale comes in handy, but since i didn’t have one i just used a measuring cup instead.

if you end up using a measuring cup, be sure to get the density of your poly beads from the seller. converting from volume to weight using the density looks like this

[VOLUME] cups x [DENSITY] ounces per cup = [WEIGHT] ounces

so my calculation for Pat looked like this (note: you can do this with any units of measure)

1.25 cups x 8.5 ounces/cup = 10.625 ounces

i know nothing about ounces so i converted to pounds

10.625 ounces * 0.0625 pounds/ounce = 0.66 pounds 

step 7: fill plush with beads

this was difficult to get a decent picture of because i only have 2 hands and actually doing the thing takes all of them

the general idea is that you stick the funnel in the plushie, pour poly beads into the funnel, and that way you get beads inside the plushie and not all over your floor

stuff the legs first to make sure stuff gets evenly distributed

step 8: check weight

your plushie will look something like this

pick up your plushie being careful not to spill the beads. is the weight good? if it’s too heavy, remove some beads and replace with stuffing. if it’s too light, tough shit you already completely filled your plush with beads. once satisfied, proceed to next step

step 9: sew plush back together

for the small plush, i used standard polyester thread doubled over. for the plush 2x Pat the moose’s size and up, i used 4 strands of thread at the same time

use the invisible ladder stitch--if you don’t know how to do that, scroll up and take a look at the link under the “expertise” section

pro tip: when tying off your thread, poke your needle through part of the plushie and pull it through, and then cut your thread off from there. this leaves you with no ends to awkwardly tuck in

you are done! enjoy your Plushie Of Cuddling (Sensory +3)

additional notes

if you want to keep the poly beads to one area of the plush’s body, you’re gonna need to sew a beanbag, fill that with the poly beads of the proper weight, and then insert the beanbag into the plush. i didn’t need to do this because i was completely filling my plush with poly beads but it might help for those of you who want slightly less unruly or heavy plushies

the plushie texture is basically that of a classic beanie baby. that works for me but might not work for you, just be aware

i weighted 6 plushies in the span of 4 hours using this method. my heaviest was about 5x the size of Pat the moose and ended up being filled with 3 pounds of beads

bonus image of me & pat the moose, who was such a good sport and also the literal first stuffie i tried this on

also pictured: my build-a-bear pikachu being used as a pillow

Bro I can buy stuff now that Halloween is over and I dont need money for emergency costume expenses lmao

Anyone wanna commission me for pix arts? I'll be getting my surface pen soon now that halloween has past (it was my bday present from my mom but things have been chaotic with all the sewing and trips to the store lol) so I'll be opening digital commissions soon too umu

Chompy plush update 3!

lil scrungly …

I think I’m only gonna be able to finish this test version before we go on vacation, but that’s ok cuz I used very close to his final colors so he looks almost completely normal!

So anyway now I’ve got 4 days to finally pattern and sew his shell 👍👍

[truebjdconfessions]

Years ago my friend offered to sew BJD clothes for me in a trade. I accepted because her dolls' clothes always looked great. She ended up forcing me to choose fabrics from her old worn out clothing and the stuff I received wasn't even a fraction of the quality of her dolls' clothes. I never got preview pix she just sent me the shitty pieces. This is why you never do business with friends. I was too afraid of hurting her feelings to complain. I regret it.

freddiewatts‌:

[TXT] To be fair, I’m not new to off-your-face debauchery and hedonistic sex parties - but /this/ time, I was in a forest. ;) haha 

[TXT] That’s a date though, btw. You and me, in 50 years. haha

[TXT] Friday’s perfect. Shall I pretend to be surprised, or should I just give Pix the cash myself? haha

[TXT] Course they do. It’s demoralising (I assume, anyway; if television and films are anything to go by lol) to disappoint your mum. ;P

[TXT] Normally, I’d say that’s a bleak outlook - but in this case, it’s hard to argue.

[TXT] Well, thank bloody god for Aunt Peony! I mean, I would have refused to believe you’d grown up in a house full of women in the 80s and never seen a jumpsuit that wasn’t meant for wearing with a helmet or a tool belt, /anyway/ - but Aunt Peony’s sewing pattern makes things easier. :P haha

[TXT] You are, yeah - but vault or not, when it comes to most people, you don’t generally have a vested emotional interest in having them open up, love. With Ciara, you have to factor yourself into the equation, too.

[TXT] I’ll take that into account, love. Thank-you. I may get in touch with her. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now.

[TXT] Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if she did. :) Challenging is a word I quite like, really. It doesn’t lend itself well to simple definition - and the people I’m fondest of are the same.

[TXT] OH I see so that’s the main difference.  Forest.  And centaur.

[TXT] In 50 years I’m gonna be 90 years old and probably just as sexually stunted as I am now. 8D

[TXT] Oh boy, you should definitely pretend to be surprised.  If only because I need to see that.  I told them I’d fund their shenanigans through petty $$$ but Pixi said they all wanted to contribute.  so I said the Inn will provide open bar.  Freddie’s birthday and Christmas - the two annual staff celebrations with open bar 8D  Makes sense.

[TXT] it’s terrifying to disappoint one’s mom.  It’s hilarious to piss off one’s dad.  

[TXT] I grew up with my Aunts! I didn’t care what they were wearing, my main concerns as a youth were solely about getting fed, getting away with bad behavior, and getting free stuff.  

[TXT] Although now that you mention it, I do recall wearing a jumpsuit that might’ve belonged to Aunt Jasmine.  Sewn by Aunt Peony.  I just cut the legs off so it’d fit. Man I must’ve looked like a dork. Thank god I didn’t have friends. 

[TXT] 'Most people’ aren’t Ciara. Or you, Pegs, Bellamy, Ciara, Tuah, Culloden, and others, for that matter. 

[TXT] Well lemme know how ti all turns out.  Or better yet seeing is believing if it all turns out good for the both of you.

Internet of Shit hackathon: the hacks and the winners

There were 11 entries at the hackathon -- a lot of brightest minds of our generation working hard to make useless stuff!

[The Dialrhea project, see below]

Here are the projects in order of presentation:

1. “Burning pants”  -- a Neopixel/micro:bit wearable project by the olab.lt team. A nice and safe addition to one’s wardrobe when going to Kaunas Jazz Festival. They won the “Fire Means It’s Working” award!

2. "Baron Munchausen" by v. -- a very smart Raspberry Pi-based extension cord: the RasPi runs an Ethereum node with the Ethereum alarm clock service. The HDD stores 17GB of Ethereum blocks.

When the currency gained from running the service is not covering the electricity costs, the cord switches itself off using a relay. They were vying for the “something something blockchain” award, but at the end were awarded the “most hacker-friendly award (for least secure = most dangerous IoT device)”. Not because of any flaws in IT security (no default passwords here), but for the unshielded 220V wires sticking out of the project, making it the most dangerous IoS device around.

 The “I don’t know” team highlighted the topic of algorithmic prejudice, creating a “Value Gun" -- a racist gun that detects the colour of a person's skin and then shoots. Luckily, it didn’t really worked this way: an RGB-detector bought from China was a proximity sensor instead. Also it was network-connected and all the passwords were the default ones. The won the “This is Likely Illegal” prize (for the USA and LE people, that’s a toy gun, obviously).

The other fine folks from Riga hackerspace teamed up for two very well-received projects:

"Vape bucket" is a connected bucket with a hacked fog machine that lets you vape through it, controlled by Amazon Alexa. That was the idea, at least:  they didn' have a credit card, so voice control didn’t work: one could only chat with Alexa while vaping. The demo started with a leak of some vaping fluid. The default password is "password" in Latvian. It also has a startup on top of it (http://theexpresswaytopleasure.com/)

This foggy uncanny valley of a project won the “Shittiest AI (artificial idiocy) Solution” prize and was a serious contender for the main prize as well.

[pix by Lukas]

@hottiecamera by "Hottiecam", another project by the Riga hackerspace crew, is a hacked smoke detector alarming not the owner, but subscribers to the service when someone’s house is on fire. It tweets. It works even when electricity fails because show must go on. The speaker is disabled because if the owner hears the alarm, they can put the fire out and ruin the party. They were also considering selling those to nuclear power plants. This project, obviously, won the “Least Private On-line Gadget” prize!

"Dialrhea" is a next-gen human-computer interface device from old rotary phone. Pairs with any smart device and has special emoji/gaming modes of operation. Here’s someone playing DOOM on a large screen at the afterparty:

Its authors, being creatives/media people, even made a slick movie advertising this shitty product for shitty people. They won both the least shitty product consolation prize and the public prize!

@emojithinx by @seplute -- a tool to reduce the emotional labour in long-distance work communication. She wrote an emoji Twitter bot. It didn't have the :poop: emoji yet.

Mantas (of Porno Nest fame) collaborated with the best designers around to create an interactive punching bag. Sewing by Kazirka.

@kristina, @mn and Grete presented CNC-machined chocolate buttons which melt on your body, ruin your clothes and disappear. Laced with WD-40, coated with bronze spray paint. They won the Social Courage Award!

The CryptoSpätkauf project by @opit and @miceuz (with a lot of consulting by veox) is a smart contract service providing a means for people to share their liquor stash after hours. As the Lithuanian government tries to save the country from the spectre of alcoholism by introducing a barrage of restrictions and prohibitions, we showed that the street finds its own use for things. Our first Solidity project. Buggy as fuck.

Buttons that do nothing by Aistis and crew were a riff on connected button hype: it’s a panel with 16 touch buttons, shown on a live demo doing exactly nothing. There’s a "classic button", "a button swapped with No. 11", "inactive", "underappreciated", "non-radioactive", "why pay more", "swapped with #3", "harmful for nature", "unmarked" and many other buttons. You can press multiple buttons at the same time and they do nothing! This team won the Artisanal Piece of Shit Grand Prize!

Last but not least, the "Umbrella project" by another Mantas from Kaunas was a WiFi-powered charging umbrella with the latest technology that guys like Elon Musk really like to copy from Tesla inventions. A unicorn- and Kickstarter-material. They won the “Dead Unicorn (the lowest ROI solution)” prize, sponsored by the Brickwall startup decelerator.

That was all -- many thanks to our brave sponsors ADEO WEB, olab.lt, Geležinė Lapė, Catnip Electronics and the robot who ate empty cans from Technarium and spat out some cash. A special thanks to our venerable jury (Marukas, Auguste, goku), Mark Splinter, Povilas and the Riga hackerspace crew for making this event a lot brighter!

I don't know what I'm doing

I'm freaking out a little. I know nothing about tumblr, but I'm going to give it a shot. I like to make stuff, perform, and I teach acting and theatre arts to kids. I just started a hand sewing project for fun with a bunch of scraps left over from previous projects. I'll post pix at some point. Let you see what I'm up to. 😊
