huh, looks like I set a default main branch name on the old laptop, because I'd forgotten that Git does this. Nicely handled, git.

TIL that chatgpt flat-out won't draw clothes if you so much as hint that you're looking for fashion illustrations. But, if you manage to con a picture of clothes out of it, the reply comes with "here's a fashion illustration"....

First crocus of spring! The anthers look a softer yellow in daylight than on my phone camera, but it nails the vividness of the stigma's orange.

there's few enough people around here that it's probably safe to share a secret: i impulse bought these at winco yesterday expecting them to taste like cardboard because they're huge, but they taste like actual real strawberries! no cardboard-flavored ones in the whole container.

here's a demo with the SF area airports!
when you show locations in the autocomplete, it'd be super helpful to put the city and state as well as the distance and what road they're on -- would make things much easier when examining distant locations or not sharing one's own location with the site :)

@andersonaddo.bsky.social i tried asking for a heatmap of areas that are X hours from airport A and Y hours from airport B and also it is sad. It's probably just getting the HN hug, but maybe it's also wildly out of the design tolerances to use it on the scale of distances measured in hours by car?

now we measure on the robe,cut on the hood, for pink and dark blue. The angles will vary based on the sizes of blanket and human you're working with, but make a mockup first if you're scared, and trust the process.

First, sew up the back of the hood whatever distance seems right to make the hood sit on your head and the seam end at the back of the neck, shown in yellow.
Then, measure half the width of that neck hole in the rest of the garment, and cut straight into the hood that far (shown in white)

So we take the hood fabric and fold it in half, like so.

now for the hood. OPTIONAL, cut off a chunk of the extra blanket bit to make a belt from, if it seems too big for a hood. Could do 2 strips and piece them end to end if you want a really long belt. We'll set that belt piece aside for now.

now, FOR BOTH SIDES, we fold over a side and sew it onto the lapel bit as much as there's 2 layers for. Stitching shown in hideous cyan this time. Same as before, wrangle things so the seam allowances end up inside the garment to get it pretty.

then we turn it inside out and sew the sleeve seams (then turn it right side out again). only sew as far as there are 2 raw edges of fabric to go together! stitching shown as hideously green dots on here. see how we have those little extra bits in the front? we'll handle those next.

so we cut off that top bit (it'll be the hood and belt later), fold the sleeves back down, and put our little friend back in...

so we fold the top at shoulder height, and cut kind across it on the white lines -- only cut under the sleeves, not all the way across! higher for tighter sleeves, lower for looser sleeves.
