I cut these 15 inches and used a narrow double hem. I'd recommend cutting them larger, maybe 18 inches, and using a rolled hem foot if you have one. A serged edge works well, too.

Handmade cloth napkins. Very boring sewing, but so practical. If they're made from scraps, there's no monetary outlay. Once you have them, you never need to buy paper napkins. Wash them with kitchen towels.

Fanned stack of cloth napkins in varied colors and prints.

The only question for Mike Johnson should be "why did you dissolve Congress?" And when he predictably lies or changes the subject, repeatedly follow up with variations of "so why aren't you doing your job?"

The Speaker's opinions on anything else matter little if Congress is artificially on leave.

Today I'm making a new ironing board cover. I've encountered a delay. #catsky #sewing

Liberals say that Trump has turned our democracy into a fascist dictatorship. They're wrong—he's turned our republic into a fascist dictatorship.

Saw(ing). It's a fair question. English has a lot of rules and as many exceptions to the rules.

Just so folks know- they didn’t handle that fall by Mitch McConnell well. When seniors or frail people fall, the best thing to do is actually let them lay where they are. Some people recommend counting to a certain number. While the person lays there-

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Sewing is done with needle and thread. Sowing is done with seeds, dissent, and discord. Following the #sewing tag would be a lot more satisfying if people got this straight.

I'm an adult and I have free will so I'll dress like a meadow. Sewn from a used sheet. I copied a shirt that I like wearing and extended it to dress length. #sewing #recycle

If Basic Income existed, it would be easier to abolish prisons, many military projects, and unnecessary law enforcement. People would not be dependent on these jobs to survive.

It would also give them freedom to leave jobs that mistreat them.

All of this is why rich/powerful people don't want UBI.
