10k notes pour un post francophone sur tumblr macron où est mon poste de ministre de la culture

shoutout to my coworker for thinking that “illuminati” and “alumnae” meant the same thing and absolutely destroying everyone in the room when he casually dropped the sentence “i get a discount there because i’m an illuminati” into the conversation

Check your cheese again!

It's not done yet, but it's the facing, collar, and cuffs for the patchwork dressing gown I'm working on! It was less than half a metre of silk/rayon velvet that I dyed in college because the sample we did of that colour was so nice I wanted a bigger piece. (It was PRO MX fibre reactive dye in the colour Marine, and I don't have my dye sample book with me right now but I think it was at 4%. It shows up more green on some fibres and more blue on others, but is always gorgeous.)

I had no specific plans for it at the time, but eventually the perfect project came along, and there was just enough!

I've been working on this thing (intermittently, in short busts) for a few years now, and am finally done the patchwork and on to the construction. I've posted occasional updates on @vincentbriggs and will post photos there when I'm done.

I've also been filming the whole process, so I'll have a video about it up on my youtube channel eventually, but that'll be a while after it's finished because I have so so so many clips and it's going to take a horrifyingly large amount of editing.

It's based on this c. 1835 original, which is a good 50-100 years later than what I usually sew, but I like it and I wanted one.

If anyone's wondering how many triangles mine has, it's 6,957.

Since I've got the time consuming part out of the way I'm hoping I can get the construction done before winter officially ends.

Edit: Why does everyone think I had a bad time working on the triangles?? I loved working on them, it was so satisfying to put lots of little bits of colour together. The reason I worked on it intermittently is because I could not put it down once I got working on it, and would work on it all day for several days straight until I was very tired and sore, and then I had to put it away to stop myself, and then I'd forget about it for a few months.

Also, they're machine sewn. Most of the actual garment construction will be by hand, but the patchwork is all by machine.

I finished my dressing gown.

And besides the velvet, it of course used up a lot of other little bits of fabric!

(Once again, my sewing and other non-dinosaur works are mainly posted on @vincentbriggs)

Video finished :)

It's an hour and 13 minutes long and I say 11,785 words in it.

Thank you!! Good luck on your sewing! And I'm glad my Very Correct nipple observations were appreciated

This post is getting notes again, and I just wanna add some pictures of other things I've made videos of.

Stripey painted leather gloves.

Velvet mite brooch.

Leaf for head.

Leaf for torso, a leaf sequel, now with added slime mould beading.

Very very long and detailed shirt tutorial, which I also did a written version of. You should make one, it's all rectangles.

and Normal Fabric Waistcoat.

I am very slow at making youtube videos but I post monthly updates on the video stuff I've been working on over on patreon, along with 4 extra dinosaurs a month. (and aaghh I know I've been really really sparse with the dinosaurs here lately, I'm sorry!! It's not intentional, there are just a lot of other things to do and also it's been over 9 years and every year I get a little more tired of drawing dinosaurs!)

Right now I'm editing a video for a thing I finished sewing almost 2 months ago, and it's not even one of my longer videos, I've just been doing other things and stuff.

Oh hey I made another one recently and it actually is a Normal Fabric Waistcoat, unlike the previous one which was candy wrappers.

not to make a long post even longer but I just finished another one about some fancy aprons

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion

This is the polar opposite of this:

Friend: Dude wtf why did you put glitter in my coffee I was going to drink that?

[Image ID: a cup of coffee with a spoonful of silver glitter being poured into it]

when I tell you I had to do a double take because I thought these were 2 parts of the same whole joke

my mother is playing pikmin and yelling at them in the exact tone of voice she uses for me and my siblings so we go into fight or flight every time. we thought initially that this meant she regarded the pikmin as akin to her children, but I now fear she’s always viewed us as pikmin

hi your post reads like a poem to me
