10 days ago, I decided I would get started on that linen summer dress with the swooshy skirt I've had all the materials for since last summer. So, naturally, 9 days ago, I did unspeakable things in a text editor software to reformat this free Apex Legends Nessie pattern by Jackalodreams on Deviantadt so most pieces fit on less pages. Then I printed it at 200%, taped the pieces together and... Things got a bit out of hand.

Long story short, I've got a new purse, and it made at least three separate adults who saw it smile squeal in public.

Construction notes after the break!

I think it only took me an evening or two to make, the main thing was getting all the materials. Zipper is from a duvet, all other hardware, eyes included, are 3D printed with PLA. (Pro tip: don't size up safety eye STL files unless you have a way to size up your fabric thickness accordingly.) Patches are mostly from stash, as is the lining (just some random jersey) and belly fabric (basic double gauze). Body is a fuzzy blanket I found on clearance. Tag is a piece of cotton calico with some quick and dirty hand embroidery on it.

Getting the tag, zipper and D-ring caught in the butt seam made me fear for my little Brother sewing machine, so maybe don't do what I did there. I didn't have the patience to figure out something else, and I didn't not want to put in a tag. Still, all the fabric edges are finished, every seam is locked, the patches are sewn on instead of ironed on, so this thing, when empty, should be machine washable at 30°C.

This deceptive little beastie took an entire 400g bag of polyfill to get structurally sound, even with the pouch pre-filled with way more things than I expected would fit. It's a pretty practical size inside for everyday errands. It came out extremely squishy, to the point that I could probably use it as a pillow on a long drive or train ride. The different textures of eyes, patches, tag, body and belly go together nicely.

The shoulder strap was borrowed for about an hour from my wife's purse (thank you, sweetie!) when Hermes smiled down upon us and had us catch one market stall selling fashion straps that was several hours late in packing up and closing. (Lesson learned: drinking a can of Monster before running small errands is a good thing.) Don't have pictures of the new one yet.

It's the size of a medium-large plush, so not ideal for tiny stores while wearing a thick winter coat, but otherwise it did quite well on its first outing.

Just gotta attach the zipper pull with a jump ring, as the sewed on McGyvering I've got right now isn't the most practical.

Shop update!!!! Many patches restocked, lots still out of stock cause I need to make more! Working on it!!!!!

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! I want to make my nieces some little bags, specifically a rock collecting bag for my youngest niece (she's four) and a similar-but-not-matching bag for her sister for fairness I have not spent much time around little kids since I started sewing; I used to volunteer with preschoolers, but stopped when the pandemic started, and now I am no longer sure the best size for the bag? Like, should I go messenger bag? backpack? Something else? I have some machine washable cotton canvas I'll use for the outsides of the bags, and some fabric for the insides, but idk how long I should make the straps/handles of the bags. I also don't know how big to make the bag itself because she will 100% be filling it with rocks and I know neither the average amount a four year old can carry nor the average density of the rocks she picks up lol

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

did they stop making cotton zippered washable tote bags or are people just not donating them to thrift stores

[milkweedman]

Started another crochet bag....I did try to knit it first but I think I might need to get some wooden dpns, because my metal ones are just too heavy for a lace fabric and keep twisting and falling and generally causing problems. So I'm crocheting the base and then I might switch to knitting for the sides, depending on how it goes.

Ive also noted that I need some kind of pillow for my powerchair. The headrest is way too far back and hurts. I want it to be washable or maybe have a washable cover, since my head will be directly touching it for most of the day whenever I'm finally able to use it. I'm thinking I'll make the pillow out of cotton and find some kind of natural cotton filling (I do have polyfill but I'm trying to move away from all plastic fibers and also polyfill for a pillow sounds bad). And then I will probably try and sew 3 or 4 pillowcases.

I got a free sewing machine that may or may not work after I dropped it on the ground trying to bring it inside. Might try that as a first project on it, doesn't sound too hard as sewing projects go.

Also need a pillow to sit on but im gonna buy a gel one probably, I don't think a cotton pillow is gonna cut it.

EMERGENCY COMMISSSIONS bc we are poor and have overdue bills to pay

did not want to make this post but here we are. my wife and I moved to Augusta 3 months ago hoping to find better work opportunities, and it's not going great. we have friends who have given us housing, but our personal bills have gone unpaid for over a month now, and despite finding a job I just do not make enough to pay them. we're working with our bank to get our payments lowered (my credit is now officially shot) but we still owe over $800 in back payments.

I'm not asking for donations (though they are appreciated I won't lie); instead im opening my crochet comms.

i make lace shawls; pics below

they're big; I have 26" wide shoulders and these fall to at least my elbow if not lower. they're made of a cotton/acrylic blend that is easy to care for (machine washable if run on a delicate cycle w cold water in a garment bag; hang or lay flat to dry) and can come in essentially any color variation.

you can choose what colors you want and whether you want the gradient to flow from one point asymmetrically to the opposite edge (the first pic) or evenly out from the center (pics 2 and 3). the actual lace pattern is up to me, because while my lace is simple it is freeform, and I don't follow any specific pattern for my shawls. as a result they're all different and unique, this is part of the charm!

I'm asking $150 per piece; this covers both materials and my time and labor.

i also have to order the yarn I'd need; this yarn isn't the cheapest so I don't have a stash of it at the moment. the shops I order from are very prompt, however, so this won't take too much extra time.

overall turnaround time is 4 weeks from the time I receive the yarn, but it rarely takes me that long.

I'm opening 6 slots

if they all go that'll be enough to get my bills right, which is all I need right now. payment is required before I can order the yarn, but I'll send whatever updates you ask for as I work on your project. if this goes off I'll keep track of my progress on a given project in my pinned post.

if anyone is interested, please dm me and we can go over all the details.

**if you want something bigger, like a poncho or a cape, I can do that! but it'll cost more.**

if you don't want or can't afford a $150 shawl I absolutely understand, reblogs are much appreciated 💜

My Journey to Minimalism and Sustainability, and How You Can Start Yours 

I began my journey towards minimalism and sustainability when I was 13, thanks to my favorite famous twins, Bill and Tom Kaulitz from the German band Tokio Hotel. They had just gone vegetarian, and their lifestyle shift made me rethink my own habits. I’ve always had pets—cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a horse I visited and fed every day (Okay, it wasn't mine, but I wished it was!)—but up until then, I hadn't really considered the wellbeing of wildlife or the broader environment.

Cutting out meat was my first step towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Over the years, I’ve made plenty of small swaps and sacrifices to lessen my impact on the planet. But don’t worry—sustainability doesn’t have to be overwhelming! In a world where some eco-warriors are aiming to fit a year’s worth of waste into a single jar, it’s easy to feel like you have to go to extremes. The truth is, you don’t have to make drastic changes to start your sustainability journey.

Below are some simple swaps I’ve made that have helped me live a little greener...

Bamboo Charcoal Menstrual Pads 

Switching from disposable pads to reusable bamboo charcoal pads was one of the easiest changes I made. They’re washable, so still hygienic, plus they cut down on waste and microplastics. After the recent news about there being arsenic in tampons, I’m so glad I made this switch years ago! 

Reusable Water Bottles and Coffee Cups

Instead of buying plastic water bottles or using disposable coffee cups, I now carry my own reusable versions. Not only does this help reduce plastic waste, but it’s also so convenient to always have a water bottle on hand.

Reusable Cotton Makeup Pads

I used to go through countless cotton pads while removing makeup. Now I use reusable ones that I can just toss in the wash. It’s a small change, but it makes a difference in how much waste I create each day.

Eating Less Meat

If you care about animals and want to reduce your carbon footprint, eat less meat. You don’t have to cut it out completely to make a difference. If you want to go the extra mile for our oceans, you can cut down your fish intake too. 

Reusable Shopping Bags

We’ve all heard this one, but it’s such a simple habit to get into! Keeping reusable shopping bags in my car or bag ensures I never have to rely on plastic ones when I’m out.

Recycling

This might sound basic, but committing to recycling properly is one of the simplest ways to contribute to a healthier planet. I make sure to recycle everything I can, from paper and plastics to glass and metals.

Those are a few swaps I’ve made over the past twelve years, but there’s always room to improve, so here are a few things I plan to try next:

Buying Less Clothing

I’m a legit shopping addict and tend to spend more than I make 😅 but I know fast fashion has a huge impact on the environment, so I’m working on being more mindful about what I buy and sticking to timeless, sustainable pieces.

Not Upgrading Tech Every Couple Of Years

It’s tempting to get the latest phone or gadget, but holding onto tech for longer reduces electronic waste.

Avoiding Palm Oil

Palm oil is in so many everyday products, and its production is harmful to the environment. I’m aiming to be more conscious about the products I buy and look for palm oil-free alternatives.

Composting

This is a big one I’ve been meaning to start! Composting food scraps instead of throwing them away can significantly reduce the amount of waste I send to landfills.

Sustainability is a journey, and it’s all about progress, not perfection. You don’t need to change everything at once. Start small, make swaps where you can, and keep growing from there. Every little bit helps!

What are some eco-friendly changes you’ve made? I’d love to hear your tips and ideas in the comments!

Gerber Unisex Baby 2 Pack Waterproof Pant

Price: (as of – Details)

[rumade]

Today's sewing project was... arse wipes! I kept getting these adverts for washable baby wipes, little cotton squares that you can wipe your baby's delicate little bum bum with. I was intrigued- we're going to give reusable nappies (diapers) a go using a laundry service- but a starter kit was £45!

So instead I've ordered 2 containers and a mesh bag from ebay for £15, and spent about 40 minutes turning 2 old muslin cloths my brother passed on into 16 cloths. Just cut into a rough square, put right sides together, sew around edge leaving a 2 fingers width gap, flip right side out, sew opening shut.

The way the wipes system works is that you have 2 buckets with lids, one for clean, one for dirty. Line the dirty one with a mesh laundry bag. Put some water and a couple of drops of Eucalyptus oil in the clean bucket, add your wipes to turn into wet cloths. Wipe baby's bum. Put in the dirty bucket, along with some water and disinfectant. Then when you do baby laundry (every 2 to 3 days??) you wash the poopoo squares alongside the regular clothes.

I am skeptical. But we'll see how much of a pain it is. Lots of reviews said that the wet reusable cloths were much better at dealing with newborn baby poo

Is there anymore information you can share about your commissions? Both the process and end product. I’m interested in some wheelchair things but I would like to know more but I don’t have any specific questions

Hello! I reblogged a bunch of my worked and tagged it "portfolio" if you want to see my work! I usually charge materials, and then for labor, I make an estimate for hours and charge $10-$15 an hour for those hours unless it's an established price listed below. If you struggle with finances, I'd be happy to work out a payment plan with you or see if we can use materials I already have leftover from other projects or something to lower the price a bit. Generally, I ask for a deposit for materials and ship it when it's paid off. (Calf straps have free shipping)

The general pricing for wheelchair stuff is

$10 for a calf strap using material I already have

$15 for a pocket bag that fits both crutches and wheelchair

$20 for a custom calf strap or pocket bag

$40 for a cushion cover (has a waterproof top)

$60 for a tension adjustable backrest and cushion

$80 for a full set. This is a cushion cover, backrest, calf strap, and if there's enough leftover fabric, then a pocket bag

They're usually made out of custom dyed cotton denim; unless you want something else. I do the dyework based on what vibe and colors you want. They're all machine washable.

As for actually commissioning me, send me a message and we can work out what you want and I can give you an estimate. I usually take venmo or can invoice you on PayPal if you'd like. Turnover time is usually a month or two for things that require a lot of sewing, I'll keep you updated if my health goes to hell in a handbasket but I've had a really good year so far and I expect it to stay that way for a good while.

The 3 R's of Waste Management

Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

The 3 R's are the necessary foundations of conservation and waste management techniques for a more sustainable lifestyle.

Sustainability, in its environmental definition, is the ability to maintain conditions supporting biological life on Earth by preserving natural resources. The continued prevalence of diminished natural resources due to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, from human activity over the past decades has impacted our course of sustainability on planet Earth. However, reducing, reusing, and recycling materials will lessen energy consumption instead of mining, extracting, and producing new goods with raw materials. These forms of waste management will allow trees to be planted in areas to lessen the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that would otherwise be used as landfills for trash.

Reduce

Overconsumption of products that yield mass amounts of trash can contribute to the problem that waste management is trying to fix. Being aware of the issue at its roots and diminishing the need to throw away items can better sustain and handle the waste output that one is producing. Reducing the amount of discarded waste can also lessen the need to reuse or recycle items constantly.

Some ways to reduce and use preventative measures are to:

use reusable forms of everyday daily items such as reusable beeswax food wraps, washable utensils, electric lighters, metal razors, and recycled grocery bags

compost compostable foods at compost centers in your state

shop at zero-waste grocery stores in your state

avoid throwaway items such as single-use cutlery and dishes

replace paper items with fabric or cloth options such as fabric napkins, dishcloths, and cotton paper towels

buy products in bulk as opposed to small, single-use containers

Reuse

Often, it can be easy to discard packaging or items that no longer work or have a use for them. Instead, one should put creativity into practice when thinking of ways to reuse an object instead of throwing it out entirely and increasing waste output.

Some ways to reuse common thrown-away items are to:

turn used milk, coffee, juice, and water cartons into birdhouses

grow seedlings in empty egg cartons

use empty plastic milk jugs for your garden in creative ways

clean out glass jars or containers and repurpose them as a storage component

sell or donate old clothes, furniture, appliances, etc., to those who can use it

reuse grocery bags to cover small trashcans or on your next trip to the store

utilize newspaper as a way to cushion fragile items for storage

use leftover wood as fuel for bonfires

donate old notebooks and books for children who are in need of them

Recycle ♻️

At times, it can be easier to throw away used goods rather than recycle them and allow them to redirect potential waste from landfills, conserve energy, and reduce the need to extract new materials for new products. According to the EPA, "recycling one ton of paper would save enough energy to power the average American home for six months, save 7,000 gallons of water, save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one metric ton of carbon equivalent (MTCE)."

Some ways to get started with recycling items can be to:

buy items that are made with recycled materials so that once it is used up, you can recycle them and restart the process

educate yourself on the plastic recycling symbols and learn what they mean and if they can be recycled

be aware of the fact that not all plastics can be recycled at certain facilities

clean out hazardous/unrecyclable contents before recycling items

choose to buy things that are made with water-soluble solutions instead of chemical-based solvents

look out for materials that local recycling facilities are accepting, and start collecting recyclable items

use public blue bins that indicate if they accept paper, glass, or plastic for an easy-access recycling system

Efforts to start being sustainable might seem to make a slight difference amongst the tons of trash thrown away daily, but having one person reuse, reduce, and recycle, can make a big difference in a healthier Earth.
