I should be asleep but instead I'm desperately trying to find out how they knotted the ropes for shrouds on 17th century sailing ships.

Lord help me I need to know how this fucking rigging got made. It's for a crucial... two lines of writing.

Baby's first alteration!

So, I got my old sewing machine fixed and serviced, and I set up a sewing table! So of course I've been going through and happily mending holes in pajama pants and backpacks and sheets and what have you. And because I've also been sucked into the whole "visible mending" thing, I took a bag of not-so-great clothes that I was going to scrap, and started reevaluating them as potential patches for visible mending projects.

Which is when I came across this shirt:

The reason I was going to get rid of it is because of the turtleneck. The very, very, VERY small turtleneck, that made me feel like it was going to strangle me every time I wore it. And then I started thinking that having a sewing machine means that you can change things about clothes that you don't like....oh no, I'm going to start learning alterations and tailoring, aren't I? Oh. No.

So I came across this very excellent tutorial:

And I figured, I was going to get rid of that shirt anyway....what if I tried to take off the strangle-neck and make it into something wearable?

And then I got intimidated. I've never done anything like this before.

And then I remembered another turtleneck in my scrap pile, that was there because it doesn't really fit me very well:

I figured I could use this as a practice piece, because there's a lot more cloth in case I screw up (it's always been very baggy on me), and there's basically no way I would be wearing it again anyway.

So I started going through the tutorial:

I removed the turtleneck part and picked it apart

(Look at how much longer the purple turtleneck was compared to the blue!)

The tutorial was for a scoop-neck, but I always look better in a boat neck, so I marked the fabric with soap and cut a boat-neck neckline into the shirt (which was scary, but I was pleased with how it turned out!)

Then I followed the tutorial for how to measure and estimate the lengths of the strips for the front neckline and the back neckline seams:

Then I sewed them together

Panicked because one of the seam attempts caught in the sewing machine and was drawn UNDER THE FEED DOG PLATE which caused all kinds of problems including a broken needle! And I was worried that the fabric of the seam was so chewed up that I'd have to start over......

But then realized that the chewed-up part was going to be folded up and oversewn with the seam. So I pinned it up:

then got scared and added more pins

Matched it up to the shirt

And then I SEWED IT ON!

The shirt still doesn't fit at all, but I'm pretty pleased with the neckline now! (Oh no....does that mean I'm going to have to learn how to tailor an overly-baggy shirt?)

(Side note: Starting off new with super-stretchy fabric made some interesting problems. But! I now know how to replace a broken needle, pick a new foot that's better suited to the fabric, fight with stretchy fabric without a serger, etc etc etc. Good learning project, all in all. :D )

Okay I also just realized that since Pearl and Soul Silver can trade with each other, and in my Soul Silver game there is CLEARLY Pokémon traded over from my past Pearl and Platinum (I checked out a copy of Platinum from my library years ago to get cool legendaries and more starters) games, so once I finish my Pearl Bug run, I'm gonna absolutely do a Soul Silver solo type run. Probably normal type, but I will admit I am VERY tempted to do a different kind of challenge run because of the Dratini you can get from the Game House pretty early on in Goldenrod City and it wouldn't be too hard to get because I'm actually pretty decent at the Voltorb Flip Game.

Anyways get ready to probably get fun art about how my Bug Type run of Pokemon Pearl is going with humanizations and a cute lil trainer design over the next while and once that's done I will be finally free of the really fucking dumb Soul Silver shackles because I picked a dumb name for my character and I am haunted by it

now I've a whole lot of hate for the island since your friends buried you down there six feet deep beneath the sand

x means that string is silent. the number is the fret you need to set. pause the video & look at the neck of the guitar to see what I mean.

numbers are saved tabs (I use the numpad to switch rather than with the mouse or regular number keys. it's way easier). letters are the QWERTY keys you click.

X X means a slight pause between clicking the letter keys/strings

X-X means click those keys back to back

XX means click those keys at the same time

Things I wish I had read in "beginner" sewing tutorials/people had told me before I started getting into sewing

You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)

The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.

Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.

On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.

Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.

The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.

You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)

You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.

Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.

I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.

Collars are going to suck.

The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.

I believe that's all - feel free to add unto it.
