due to factors such as “time pressure” and “tulle is of the devil” my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

ALT

ALT

ALT

progress on this includes:

• attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it’s not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment
• attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)
• constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it
• started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can’t visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

ALT

Shirt’s done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend’s fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

Finished the collar! If you want to make embroidery you cut out of some tulle look like it is On There For Real this is what I did

• roughly cut out and place embroidery. baste with glue stick (glue sticks to the back of the embroidery and not the tulle)
• tack it down with a color matched running stitch (or whatever) along the stems and centers
• cut off more tulle from the edges with tinier scissors
• tack down the edges. with, in this case, a different thread color, do a faux chain stitch where you grab the very end of a stitch from the extant embroidery
• like so

this has the benefit of kind of squashing down any tulle that didn’t get trimmed

ALT

and now it moves with the fabric and doesn’t stick up at the edges!

Human hair is being used to clean up oil spills | CNN

San Francisco-based Matter of Trust takes human hair and animal fur and makes it into mats that are used to soak up oil spills.

This is fascinating and I love the part with the mushrooms and the worms if this really works but my favorite part is that we spent decades like “oh no….oil is soaking into fur and feathers….if only we had something that could soak up all this oil”

I know I’ve shared this link before, but please take a few minutes to tell the US Federal Railroad Administration that we need more passenger trains. (Nicely! They know we need them and are gathering data for where they’ll get the most bang for their buck, so to speak.) If you don’t personally have any specific opinions on where trains are needed, please encourage them to reopen the old Amtrak Floridian line, because it would make my life so much nicer.

You don’t even have to be in the US to submit feedback btw.

Do this, we need the Floridian restored

do this! leave comments! I have asked for a north-south route through the Intermountain West, which would change my goddamn life
