Quinn DombrowskiA great dataviz essay on clothes and the proportions of American women, including a section on the power of learning how to sew for your actual size and shape! #DHmakes #DHsewing

Today I'm subbing in an Environmental Humanities class, showing them makerspaces, so I assembled An Outfit for the occasion. Always love taking @skgoetz.bsky.social beautiful lace shawl out for the day, along with some new and old favorites from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. #DHmakes #DHsewing
Local tween surprised me with the news that his D&D friend's birthday party was today, so whipped up a little dice bag and super (good/bad) luck pendant that should do the trick. #DHmakes #DHsewing
Had a rare quiet afternoon at home yesterday so I whipped up a t-shirt for the GM of my girlfriend's long-running D&D game, with matching dresses for his toddler and baby. #DHmakes #DHsewing
Even when the world is terrible, having the new grad students show up, full of excitement and getting lost, reminds me why I love my job. Paired last night's little t-shirt creation with the Academic Tarot Deck, which felt right for the occasion. #DHsewing #DHmakes
Tomorrow is the orientation for new grad students, and I've reworked a dress that I loved in theory but never quite fit the way I wanted it to, along with an XL t-shirt I ordered from Ukraine in 2022 into a new shirt, vaguely SUCHO themed, for the occasion. #DHmakes #DHsewing
Brought out the glitchy robot dress (since adopted by my girlfriend) for running a panel on AI this afternoon. Creepily cheerful robot earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. #DHsewing #DHmakes
Today I'm teaching a sorta impromptu embroidery workshop, so it's stitches pants, stitch-like glasses and mask, and some sparkly goodness from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social just for fun. #DHmakes #DHsewing
Thinking of the quote from @sheerspite.bsky.social about building bridges back to older versions of yourself, today. I made this outfit maybe a decade ago. Fish eating brain design was UChicago library graffiti. Jewelry, though, is new joys from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. #DHmakes #DHsewing
