I didn’t find the 2” foam I was looking for because they were sold out of the size I needed. It was too expensive anyways; I think I may make those window cushions using repurposed poly fill from old stuffed animals after all… https://mastodon.social/@DanielMenjivar/116279938451943011
But I did get some black nylon #spandex #fabric at $34 for two yards to make a less translucent #bodysuit https://mastodon.social/@DanielMenjivar/116206755573137605 as well as $7.50 for ½ yard of some shiny brocade jacquard fabric to make my dog some more bowties!
Went to two large #fabric shops in #Toronto this afternoon, just 200 meters apart, and these stores aren’t even in the fashion district. We’re very lucky to have so many great fabric and #sewing shops here in Toronto!
(There’s also a Fabricland store across the street from these two shops, but I refuse to go there anymore because their service is beyond atrocious. Never worth it.)

#Sewing these window cushions for my dog has been on hold because I can’t decide what to do. 🤔
My dog prefers hard surfaces — like lying on an area rug instead of on his thick, padded dog bed — so I wonder if he’ll even be comfortable lying on poly-filled cushions. He occasionally uses his dog bed as a head pillow…
I’ve thought about buying medium- or high-density foam instead. Or is no inner cushion at all the way to go, and should I just make a double-layered blanket to fit?
He terminado la bolsa (yei) y, aunque ha quedado resultona, tengo sentimientos encontrados:
Para empezar, el patrón es un video y esta hecho un poco sobre la marcha (hay algunos acabados que me han quedado mejor a mi que a la diseñadora).
Las diagonales son un coñazo de hacer, pero eh, un COÑAZO.
La parte de tela donde va la cuerda no me gusta nada como se construye. La proxima vez (si hay próxima) cubriré solo las partes largas y pondré doble cuerda.
Por lo demás, he usao bastante tela que tenía por ahí. Creo que le pegaria hacerla en colores más divertidos, pero es que soy bastante segurolas xD

Not feeling great today, so I'm messing around with a couple of quilt ideas instead of actually quilting -
This is the best layout I've come up with yet for the data viz quilt where each block's size represents the number of quilts I finished during the year
I haven't chosen a quilt block yet - suggest a favorite if you've got one! - but it needs to look similar at every size from 5" to 23". Would be nice if the math works and it sews easily at all those sizes, too
Apart from #StPatricksDay, it’s also #TacoTuesday today! (Besides, cilantro, avocado, and limes are all green.)
Completely out of the blue, our #Mexican neighbours recently brought us some take-out birria #tacos from a restaurant at Plaza Latina here in #Toronto. Then they just knocked on our door, dropped them off, and completely surprised us. They said they were picking up some #food for themselves, so they got us an order, too. What an amazing gesture!
And yes, the tacos were DELICIOUS!
Thought I'd share my handmade outfit I'll be wearing for the speakers' dinner.
For the jeans I used 1083's free pattern 201 and a non stretch denim fabric. All of 1083's patterns can be found here: https://www.1083.fr/latelierdujeans.html
The legs might be a bit too long, I'll wait with shortening them until after the first washes.
For the long sleeve I used the Frankie pattern by Tilly and the Buttons. And the fabric (which I bought in different color combinations) is from https://vintageinmyheart.com/.
