I make clothes and shoes. I design sewing patterns. I write code. Benevolent dictator of FreeSewing.

我也在学中文

Also: Introvert 🙊

Today I received a phishing email pretending to be from EuroDNS, the domain registrar for @freesewing

The From: address is not what you'd expect, and the link doesn't go where it pretends to go either.

But those are not even visible on nobile UI. What made me immediately suspicious is the threat to delete if no payment is made within 5 days.

Because that's not how this works. When a domain expires, it is placed in quarantine, from where you can get it back for a fee.

Be careful out there.

Saw a car parked on my block today that has this sign in it and now this lives rent-free in my head. So many questions.

Here is @woutervw posing in a sweater he knitted.

Yes, that is skully, the beloved @freesewing logo, worked into the knitting.

I have no words 🤯 💜

I bought myself a gift for my birthday earlier this month and so far it's been an wonderful act of self-care.

I can highly recommend spoiling yourself. Five stars, no regrets.

For the last ... checks notes ... 14 months I've been working on the next major release of FreeSewing. The core software itself was ready at the end of September, but I still have to put the finishing touches on the website migration.

That is done now, and (the completely new) FreeSewing.org now runs v3.

There's a ton of new stuff, so I'll link to this umbrella post with an overview: https://freesewing.org/blog/v3-umbrella-post

Spread the word because this is big news #FreeSewing
