#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/.

Interesting observation: it took me just under 90 minutes to complete the modifications (measuring, unpicking, cutting, threading the machine, testing settings, #sewing, etc.) from the time I took the first photos of my dog wearing the unmodified harness until the last photos I took of him wearing the modified harness.
And it took me just over 90 minutes to edit the photos, write ALT text, etc., and post about it here on Mastodon.

After shortening the webbing, it fits my dog so much better now! It’s a great harness, for sure, and will be great under his #ServiceDog vest.
I just think that maybe I should have shortened it a little bit more because in the summer when I shave him, it might need to be tightened a bit, but this is already at its smallest. I can adjust the front to make it larger, but not smaller, while the middle and rear sections have lots of room both ways.

After completing one side, I still had to do the same thing on the other…
It doesn’t look like a huge change, but it’s the difference between the front collar/neck portion having a circumference of 13” vs 16”.
