Afgelopen week begonnen aan een cursus van de #modevakschool. Maar oef, dit soort zinnen moet ik echt vijf keer lezen voordat ik het snap. 😵‍💫
Ik moet denk ik ook gewoon nog wennen aan de termen...

Sewing folks, do you have a favorite brand / model of serger?
My daughter recently got really into sewing and is now looking for one, along with recommendations.

@… @… Finished the sewing station the other day, I replaced the bow with another thread catcher, with the idea I could use that for general pieces of trash.
We'll have to see how well I can work with it. Perhaps I'll turn it so it hangs off to the side, in case it gets in the way of sewing. I still need to erase the orange chalk lines, too.

Started a new project, the #FreeSewingCrux climbing pants by @…. Also my first project made of #toile (#muslin / #calico ), just to see what it's like to work with it. I have some nice pink denim with a bit of stretch to make the "real" one with, once this one's done.
I attached the pockets with my Bernina 930's triple stitch, which gives this really nice top stitching. I do hope I was supposed to sew the seam allowance with the pocket... The instructions were a bit unclear there 🫣

Enjoyed Ash Bentley's comments on #GenderIndoctrination in her latest video. Apparently there's some cookbook for cakes that was very popular in anglophone countries on the nineties.
Of course, the sewing machine cake was for girls. As was the stove cake 🥲
Growing up in that era, I remember these differences still being heavily engrained in society. As a kid, I was once at a fair in which I could pick a prize after winning some game, and I actually wanted the Barbie knock-off doll. That would pair nicely with the Action Man dolls I had at home. But my mom, standing next to me, told me no—I'd be better off picking that toy car. When we were walking back to our bikes, she told me she was afraid of running into some classmates of mine, who would probably have bullied me for walking around with a Barbie. That became one of my core memories, looking back 🤔
No shade on my mom, of course. She was trying to look out for me. (Though the "tough boys don't cry" admonishion whenever I cried also left some marks. I was well into my thirties before I could sort-of cry in front of others again.)
