Over the past few weeks, I have been working on a compact greenhouse on wheels. It’s almost entirely created from upcycled materials. Our neighbors generously gifted us with some plexiglass he had laying around.
As a result we are able to move the greenhouse depending of the sun‘s position. We have also started some growing some new seedlings, including corn, kidney beans, kohlrabi and radishes.

Die letzten Wochen hab ich nach Feierabend immer wieder an einem kleinen Projekt gebastelt. Die Idee dahinter ist, den Umstieg von #Windows auf #Linux noch einfacher zu machen. Keine ewige Argumentensammlung, sondern Aktion. Mit einem Tool zum Herunterladen und direkten Flashen auf einen USB-Stick. Und einem angepassten Debian-Liveimage, das gleich mit Treibern und Firmware kommt - sowie besagtem Tool, um bei Bedarf weitere USB-Sticks zu flashen.
Falls es wem hilft, freut es mich - ansonsten war es lehrreich und hat Spaß gemacht 😀

Me: OOh yes ! A video about how to use up fabric scraps

YouTubers: So I've had these mismatched 2 yards of fabric in my scraps bin for years ...

Me: :: Eyes the postage stamp and small envelope sized pieces of fabric in my scraps stash ::

LADY WORDS HAVE MEANINGS! YARDS* ARE NOT SCRAPS !

[* No - a 'few meters' are also not 'Scraps' FFS!]

Habt ihr tote USB-Kabel rumliegen? Tastaturkabel, iPhone-Ladekabel wie in diesem Fall? Der rote Draht in der Mitte ist Plus, das Metallgeflecht der Abschirmung ist Minus. Da kommen dann 5V raus.

Erstaunlich viele Dinge laufen auf fünf Volt, z.B. alles, was mit drei AA-Batterien in Reihe betrieben wird. So wie diese billige Lichterkette, bei der die Steuerelektronik die Grätsche gemacht hat.

Anlöten, Schrumpfschlauch drum, zack fertig: USB-Lichterkette.

Today I made a shopping bag out of half of a dead umbrella! I think it's pretty cool but I haven't managed to test it yet. (This is the second half of the umbrella. The first attempt came out a bit weeeeird.)

The bees are hand-printed onto the umbrella by the former owner, so that's why it's off-centre. The seams are symmetrical, and some triangular bits got folded inside without being cut to make inside pockets.

I found the umbrella abandoned on the side of the road and I love bees so my inner hoarder took over. It was years ago! I'm so glad it's done, and I'm very curious to know if it'll be strong enough. If it is, that means I have a potential way to recycle something that gets thrown out a lot, which I am very into.

Just confirmed I’ll be teaching an evening sewing class in the spring ( April to June) at the Richard Robinson Fashion Academy.
I’ll cover a lot of professional and haute couture techniques in the 10 week course. The description on the website is non specific at the moment, but even once we confirm the project plan, I always personalize the lesson where I can to accommodate the students in attendance!
Ie, a skirt can be turned into a useful, well made tote bag with the right tweaks🥳

I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt and I'm
I wear you like a stitch, yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win, I'm just caught up all the battles

Locked in clutch, pushed in place
Hold your breath, listen

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
Slipknot - Before I Forget

The outfit is crafted by me with #vegan and #recycled materials.

made a little quilted mat for my tiny bedside table. mostly for practical reasons to soundproof the surface!

i listen to stories at night to help me fall asleep and have to be very careful every time i put my phone back down so i don’t wake my partner up. now with this quilted mat i can rest easy without making a sound :)

for the batting / in-between layer, i used an old retired duvet.

I′ll never surrender
Not going down without a fight
I'll never surrender ′Cause I was born to stay alive I'll get through the struggle
Pick myself from the rubble
It's never over, until it′s over, I′m not goin' under
I′ll never surrender
Shangrii-La - Never Surrender

I made this outfit a while ago, and the skirt is made from an old tablecloth my grandfather was planning on throwing away.

Blouse also made and patterned by me. The coat I also made years ago out of a pattern I borrowed from the costume shop in college that I modified to be an Ulster Coat. I have absolutely no recollection of what the pattern was.

What say the rebels
In this great war of souls
The time has coming who will
Take back control
Heaven is knocking but we’re
Holding that line
We keep on fighting till the day we die

Some will say that this is the end
We’re surrounded but we won’t give in

Who will save us
Who will save us
Sometimes you gotta let it go
Leave it up to the heroes.
