I have made a self-drafted tunic pattern!

After many self-drafted disasters, I decided the solution was to make the pattern REALLY simple. And also take most of the math out of it, because for someone with a STEM background, I am terrible at math. So this was drafted in only four panels, plus bust darts. I 3D modeled myself in Blender, used that model to drape the pattern, then divided it up with seams, unwrapped the UV mesh, exported it, and printed it out at the appropriate scale. I am 100% confident there were less complicated ways to do that, but hey, we got there in the end.

I have already decided that I don't like how the side panels fall below the waist, and have re-drafted things to make the front of said panels fall with gravity like the backs do, rather than following my body. I probably want a different finish for the neck as well, but I wasn't taking this one too seriously since it's the first draft of this pattern.

I'd really like to see how hard it is to scale my patterns for other bodies - if you want to send me your measurements, I will do my best to send you a tunic test pattern. No promises, obviously, but it is a knit and is pretty forgiving. It would theoretically work in a woven, too, but I haven't tried that yet.

I'm gradually finding more clothes sewing pattern shops with size inclusive options :)

[starlightdollcustoms]

Sewed a set for her, resized the pattern and sewed a set for me!

Doll fabric: one roll from dollar tree $1.25

My fabric: 100% cotton Pillowcase set from HomeGoods $15

What did I learn: human clothing is harder! But I have ideas for how I can improve and do it again.

[number44newseries864962]

Need to rant for a minute because even though I have very much been enjoying the fruits of my efforts learning how to sew vintage style clothes, I just swapped out old fatphobia (nice plus size vintage clothes never making it to stores) for new fatphobia (trying to find patterns). Cause it doesn't end at what clothes you're able to buy already made.

I finally bought a Friday Pattern Company pattern the other day, and man it made the bare minimum feel like I was being spoiled. The sizes go up to 7X (that's XL, XXL, 1X, 2X, etc, so there's 9 sizes above L) they had a thin and a fat model on the cover! Usually I'm barely lucky enough to get an XL, and I'm just expected to guess how it's going to look on my body. The majority of their patterns have two differently sized models on the covers, and all of them have that full range of patterns inside.

It is so hard to find good plus size patterns, even if they're available, many companies just scale up their mediums and I can't guarantee they're actually sized correctly for a different shape. As good as Friday is, them and other modern indie pattern companies aren't easy to find.

Okay well what if I went another step deeper, what if I forgo patterns all together and decide to be completely independent and draft things myself?

Then I'll need a plus size dress form. I got lucky and found one at an antique mall for 50$ but these are incredibly rare and more expensive than smaller ones. I'll need to learn how to draft patterns, something that was taught to me on a XS form by my college and nearly every tutorial out there. Drafting close fitting clothes for fat bodies is a completely different skillset, because all that extra fat is much squishier and shifts more. Measuring yourself correctly and getting the shape you're looking for is far more important. Before I even got there I'd need to sketch out what I wanted to make, right? Well the patterning book my family got me only shows you how to draw tall, skinny people. A beginner would have to look up their own drawing references and tutorials because what what supposed to be a super accessible beginner's guide to fashion has decided their body isn't normal enough for the baseline tutorial.

We're expected to be the ones who put in the extra effort. Digging to find the pattern companies that fit our shape and actually prove they can, paying extra in shipping or driving farther to pick them up. Having to search specifically for plus size tutorials for drafting and sketching. It's always treated like it's not part of the beginner's experience to be working with a fat body, that's just going to make people more frustrated and lost and less likely to pursue something they're excited about! Especially if it's in response to already being frustrated about the lack of clothing options.

We need a little positivity to this post so to end on a high note, here's me modeling the blazer I just finished with a shirt I made a couple years ago!

Being able to finally wear clothes I really feel like me in has been an amazing confidence boost. It's not fair that there's so many roadblocks in the way for someone who looks like me who just wants to wear things they enjoy.

a set of pride band weaving drafts from twisted threads user MariV.

for any beginners ready to weave something up, I recommend something marked "all together" (which means all the tablets turn the same way, either forwards or backwards all at once), and "twist neutral" (which means the forward and backward turns balance out, and twist doesn't buildup in your yet-to-be-woven warp threads).

lots and lots of patterns fall under both these categories, so it's hard to get bored with the designs themselves and the opportunity to flex your color theories...and it's pretty straightforward to figure out when something has gone wrong and how to fix it. 😁

these are all twist neutral/all together bands.

Eggs for Killie! (Sorry, Killie.)

I have been sitting on a set of lace bobbins since I bought them nine years ago (in Brugge, no less!), waiting until I had the time to make a pillow to use them, and learn bobbin lace. Instead I decided this month that one of the Ikea cushions on the couch would be Good Enough, and I've made my first little bit of lace ever with the wrong thread:

... and I have a second attempt at the same stitches set up on the cushion. It's still the wrong thread, but this is just for practice, so I don't care.

My second Scary Project is finally picking up tablet weaving again, after not having touched my beginner's project since before covid. My friend who taught me has since passed away, and the whole thing became Far Too Big to start. But I finally did, because I want a strap for my banjolele:

I was nervous about getting started in case it Went Wrong, but it very clearly has (I think the problem is with the written pattern itself; that's supposed to be a braid motif, but the dark purple line isn't connecting properly on the left hand side). Turns out that I'm fine with it being Wrong, because I'm learning, it'll still do the job required, and the next one will be better. HURRAH.

oh wow jack, this is amazing! there's so much going on here and I'm so glad that you threw your heart over TWO fences.

It must feel amazing to use those beautiful bobbins for their intended purpose, and to pick up a project that feels so meaningful and yet so big as the tablet weaving. This reminded me of two quotes from Anne Lamott.

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird “Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.” ― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

...um...hi?

so if anyone's concerned, no I'm not dead.

Thankfully the digital studio is intact this year (thank god I would've had another mental breakdown istg-)

to all my lovely marshiemallows, thank y'all so much for your patience omg!!!!

(and to all my mutuals, @furornocturna and @violetjedisylveon in particular I'm so sorry I haven't been responding or active online at all, I'm so sorry-)

But to sum it up:

I'm on holiday in my home country rn and have been having a blast personally. Meeting relatives, childhood friends, the food, familiar places ect.

and I'll admit I do have a lot of free time outside that but honestly I do feel a wee bit burnt out ngl.

And with my spare time, I've jumped down the demon slayer rabbit hole

(huh who would've guessed)

Basically it's all been a huge break for me.

But I will still post lmk stuff dw. Though don't be surprised if you see a kny thingy pop up somewhere in the dreamscape!!

And for those curious about the fic:

I'm sorry I haven't updated at all, the wips are still in my drafts. I have no formal posting schedule but after returning and getting some work sorted out I'll see what I can do! But no promises!

Regardless, about the pic then.

It is a WIP. It's a sketch for a shadowalkers piece (Wooh! Haven't heard of that au in a while eh?)

I have redesigned mostly Bai He's outfit and added a little pouch for Macaca. The change was mostly so I had more freedom to do different top designs for the new members of the fam!

If anyone has suggestions for outfit designs or accessories or jewelery, hair, anything! let me know pls!

This is just the WIP stage and I really want to achieve that semi-wild, untamed but mysterious and refined gypsy look.

(Also its a guilty pleasure of mine to dress up my characters in aus or just for the fun of it lol)

And fun fact: Wukong's the only one in the fam wearing shoes lol.

Another fun fact: That brick pattern rag he's wearing? Was once a part of tripitaka's cassock from their days on the mountain. (see shadowalkers lore summary for context)

I didn't forget their tails this time! Wheeee!!

Oooh! Ooooh! Also the top half of Wukong's body? I did that myself sans references!!! Woooooooh!!!

Not that there's anything wrong with references of course. Pros and beginners use them and I do recommend them for poses, ideas and such.

Though I am proud I could think of something off like memory and make it work! I think...you can tell me otherwise lol

(BTW this is the after of the main plot where shadowpeach reconciles, they escape the town and Bai He gains a new stepbrother!)

SH!T I REALIZED I FORGOT MEI!!!!

UM I'LL ADD HER IN!! PROMISE!!!!

Hi, sorry to bother. I checked your FAQ and stuff but I couldn't see anything about this so I thought I'd ask.

I want to start making plushes- there's kids in the family, and I want to make them dinosaurs. But like, I don't find any patterns for reasonably accurate dinosaurs, so I think I'm going to need to draft the patterns myself.

Do you have any tips on how to start doing that? Like, taking an idea and turning it into a pattern?

Hi there! I've been asked similar questions a few times, though they tend to get lost in my bad tagging system. Here's a few I've found: Beginner Plush Maker Tips How To Start Patterning Your Own Plushies

꧁𓊈Ppyong crochet pattern𓊉꧂

A/N: Aaa my first crochet pattern! And also a lil celebration of 500 followers ^^ (My explanations kinda suck imo, so don't be affraid to ask about anything♥)

Hook size: 5mm (I use size 3.5 yarn tho) Other supplies: Stuffing, material for the features & stitchmarkers Difficulty: Beginner! (could even be your first project ^^) Final size: About the size of my hand

Stitches/Abbreviations used:

ss - slip stitch

st - stitch(es)

ch - chain

sc - single crochet

inc - increase (two st into one st)

dec - crochet two stitches together

inc-lump - part made out of increases (you'll see when you get there)

Join each round with ss and ch1 to start another round

Start with magic circle

R1: sc6 into magic circle R2: inc6 R3: (inc, sc) all around R4: (inc, sc2) all around R5: (inc, sc3) all around R6: (inc, sc4) all around R7: (inc, sc5) all around R8: (inc, sc6) all around R9 – R16: sc all around

Count out or find quarters of your stitches and mark them

R17- R22: sc around, dec in marked st

Take out the middle stitchmarker (the one opposite of the beginning of your row, not the ones beside it)

R23: sc all around

Make sure your stitch markers are still in the relative quarters they should be in

R24: sc around and do inc into both marked spots

(Keep track of which extra stitches come from the increases – I'll refer to them as inc-lump)

R25: sc around while (inc into the first st, continue sc, inc into the last st) of each inc-lump R26: sc all around R27: sc around while (dec (the first two st), continue sc, dec (the last two st)) of each inc-lump R28: sc around while (dec2 (the first two and the last two st)) of each inc-lump R29: (dec, sc5) all around R30: sc all around R31: (dec, sc4) all around R32: sc all around

Stop and stuff as much as you can

To close off the body just dec all around and sew the remaining opening close after adding extra stuffing if you need

For the wings, horn and face I recommend felt (my mouths are out of fabric bc I didn't have pink felt) and for the shibari rope I just used some random twine I had.

Shape-wise, for the horns I cut out a circle and cut that into quarters. For the eyes I cut out a small circle and cut that in half (plus some tweaking to get that uneven shape). The mouth is kinda annoying bc you just gotta draft up the shape. And for the wings I have the shape here:

How you attach these is entirely up to you, but I've sewn on the tail and horns(didn't even need to stuff them) and hot glued the face features.

If you want to add his tail, you possibly could pull some pieces of the same yarn through the centre stitch on his back and braid it (or just cut it out of felt)

[death-at-20k-volts]

Hai, I saw ur post on generative AI and couldn’t agree more. Ty for sharing ur knowledge!!!!

Seeing ur background in CS,,, I wanna ask how do u think V1 and other machines operate? My HC is that they have a main CPU that does like OS management and stuff, some human brain chunks (grown or extracted) as neural networks kinda as we know it now as learning/exploration modules, and normal processors for precise computation cores. The blood and additional organs are to keep the brain cells alive. And they have blood to energy converters for the rest of the whatevers. I might be nerding out but I really want to see what another CS person would think on this.

Btw ur such a good artist!!!! I look up to u so much as a CS student and beginner drawer. Please never stop being so epic <3

okay okay okAY OKAY- I'll note I'm still ironing out more solid headcanons as I've only just really started to dip my toes into writing about the Ultrakill universe, so this is gonna be more 'speculative spitballing' than anything

I'll also put the full lot under a read more 'cause I'll probably get rambly with this one

So with regards to machines - particularly V1 - in fic I've kinda been taking a 'grounded in reality but taking some fictional liberties all the same' kind of approach -- as much as I do have an understanding and manner-of-thinking rooted in real-world technical knowledge, the reality is AI just Does Not work in the ways necessary for 'sentience'. A certain amount of 'suspension of disbelief' is required, I think.

Further to add, there also comes a point where you do have to consider the readability of it, too -- as you say, stuff like this might be our bread and butter, but there's a lot of people who don't have that technical background. On one hand, writing a very specific niche for people also in that specific niche sounds fun -- on the other, I'd like the work to still be enjoyable for those not 'in the know' as it were. Ultimately while some wild misrepresentations of tech does make me cringe a bit on a kneejerk reaction -- I ought to temper my expectations a little. Plus, if I'm being honest, I mix up my terminology a lot and I have a degree in this shit LMFAO

Anyway -- stuff that I have written so far in my drafts definitely tilts more towards 'total synthesis even of organic systems'; at their core, V1 is a machine, and their behaviors reflect that reality accordingly. They have a manner of processing things in absolutes, logic-driven and fairly rigid in nature, even when you account for the fact that they likely have multitudes of algorithmic processes dedicated to knowledge acquisition and learning. Machine Learning algorithms are less able to account for anomalies, less able to demonstrate adaptive pattern prediction when a dataset is smaller -- V1 hasn't been in Hell very long at all, and a consequence will be limited data to work with. Thus -- mistakes are bound to happen. Incorrect predictions are bound to happen. Less so with the more data they accumulate over time, admittedly, but still.

However, given they're in possession of organic bits (synthesized or not), as well as the fact that the updated death screen basically confirms a legitimate fear of dying, there's opportunity for internal conflict -- as well as something that can make up for that rigidity in data processing.

The widely-accepted idea is that y'know, blood gave the machines sentience. I went a bit further with the idea, that when V1 was created, their fear of death was a feature and not a side-effect. The bits that could be considered organic are used for things such as hormone synthesis: adrenaline, cortisol, endorphins, oxycotin. Recipes for human instinct of survival, translated along artificial neural pathways into a language a machine can understand and interpret. Fear of dying is very efficient at keeping one alive: it transforms what's otherwise a mathematical calculation into incentive. AI by itself won't care for mistakes - it can't, there's nothing actually 'intelligent' about artificial intelligence - so in a really twisted, fucked up way, it pays to instil an understanding of consequence for those mistakes.

(These same incentive systems are also what drive V1 to do crazier and crazier stunts -- it feels awesome, so hell yeah they're gonna backflip through Hell while shooting coins to nail husks and demons and shit in the face.)

The above is a very specific idea I've had clattering around in my head, now I'll get to the more generalized techy shit.

Definitely some form of overarching operating system holding it all together, naturally (I have to wonder if it's the same SmileOS the Terminals use? Would V1's be a beta build, or on par with the Terminals, or a slightly outdated but still-stable version? Or do they have their own proprietary OS more suited to what they were made for and the kinds of processes they operate?)

They'd also have a few different kinds of ML/AI algorithms for different purposes -- for example, combat analysis could be relegated to a Support Vector Machine (SVM) ML algorithm (or multiple) -- something that's useful for data classification (e.g, categorizing different enemies) and regression (i.e predicting continuous values -- perhaps behavioral analysis?). SVMs are fairly versatile on both fronts of classification and regression, so I'd wager a fair chunk of their processing is done by this.

SVMs can be used in natural language processing (NLP) but given the implied complexity of language understanding we see ingame (i.e comprehending bossfight monologues, reading books, etc) there's probably a dedicated Large Language Model (LLM) of some kind; earlier and more rudimentary language processing ML models couldn't do things as complex as relationship and context recognition between words, but multi-dimensional vectors like you'd find in an LLM can.

Of course if you go the technical route instead of the 'this is a result of the blood-sentience thing', that does leave the question of why their makers would give a war machine something as presumably useless as language processing. I mean, if V1 was built to counter Earthmovers solo, I highly doubt 'collaborative effort' was on the cards. Or maybe it was; that's the fun in headcanons~

As I've said, I'm still kinda at the stage of figuring out what I want my own HCs to be, so this is the only concrete musings I can offer at the minute -- though I really enjoyed this opportunity to think about it, so thank you!

Best of luck with your studies and your art, anon. <3
