Put this project off for 5 years... Turns out I'm really enjoying it for all the reasons I thought I wouldn't...

Wanted an easy project after the evil top tube bags (4/7 are done) so I made these from scraps of #monolite from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social to keep the fruit flies at bay.
Reminder to self; #myog doesn't have to be complicated to be useful.

Major Alexis Casdagli was imprisoned by the Nazis from 1941-1945. To pass time, he embroidered scraps of canvas including borders hiding morse code that spelled out “Fuck Hitler.”
After the war he said the Red Cross saved his life, but his embroidery saved his sanity. #sewing #history #resistance

Defiant Sewing machines were made as women took their futures literally into their own hands creating textiles like sashes & banners to position traditionally female skill in a political context. Women’s suffrage movement defied traditional ideas of women: sewing became a sign of power and strength.

Update on top tube bags. 7 is today's lucky number I guess.
Asked a friend what to make next. They said "top tube bags because it's the thing that no one realizes they need and is the most useful because snacks."
Gotta say I agree.

Couldn't find my top tube bag template so figured I would make a new one. Playing with different ideas but will probably make the same thing as before. If it ain't broken and all that...

Success! Luckily retightening the zip slider saved me replacing the entire zip and I just had to open up the ends to get the sliders back on and then reinforce a few spots.
Be nice to your zippers and seamstress friends, and they'll both take care of you ❤️🩹

One down, one to go. This one requires removing a surprising amount of super glue first 🙈

Careful repair surgery...
Zippers were messed up on my friends DCF tent and she trusts me enough to fix it (fool! Lol)
Bit of time and repair tape from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social and hopefully it's a job done

Another cycling bib done and ready to get sweaty!
Both fabrics from @fabcyclevan - swirly holographic fabric was a scrap they bundled in with the larger piece I bought - leaves enough fabric for a full swirly skin suit 😁

Next up? More cycling bibs! These habe some surprises to come. Definitely a favorite project as the end product is so much better than retail brands that think XL cyclists don't exist (how do you think I got these thighs?!)

Made these for a friend who got the indoor rock climbing bug.
Made the big one, then shrunk the second. Both have fleece lined chalk buckets with velcro in the top and two zips, to a small pocket and entry to the bottom of the large compartment for snacks & stuff. Webbing for Cary or to use on bike.

This is so amazing that I'm going to teach myself #tinkercad this weekend and this will be my first project. Guess that means I need to buy a 3D printer 🤔

This is the first of my Public Domain Sewing Tools.
I found that rounding a square corner with a 1.75” radius will shorten the perimeter by 0.75” and using a 0.875” radius will shorten the perimeter by 0.375”, give or take a few thou.
Please copycat and counterfeit, thanks

All done! Now it's a chalk bag for a friend who has fallen in love with indoor climbing, but somehow barely talks about it. #IYKYK Hope she likes this and all her climbing friends are jealous 😂

This was one of my first projects as Wonderous Bags. I never really used it because i hated the strap length. Today I had an idea so it won't continue collecting dust.

Had a productive weekend... Used some old sports bras and math to pattern out 4 new ones. Bottom right was a good lesson in mixing units (don't), but the rest turned out great.
Any interest in patterns?
