Cooking at a friend or relative’s house is very fun first you have to get out not that cabinet not that cabinet not that cabinet not that cabinet not that cabinet not that cabinet a bowl and second
i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better
are you really bad at it or are you in “good at it” spaces
Me: ah shit, I misidentified that yellow rumped warbler as a female goldfinch, I should literally be hung at the gallows for this. I’m such an IDIOT
My friend, pointing at a vulture: check out that fucked up crow lol
So I saw a post, I forget on which site, where someone found out in real time that Emet-Selch was, in fact, a character from critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy XIV and not an original character for a Stardew Valley mod
Naturally, I had to find said mod and try it out
So for the past couple days I’ve been playing the long-awaited sequel to SDV, Stardew Valley But Also Emet-Selch Is Here
Hmmmm I wonder who could have left this strange note…
“if tumblr goes down find me a-” we have been making these posts for a decade now.. either i wake up one day and its gone and i take up cigaretts to fill the void or 40 years from now i post my 5G cancer xray results direct from my neuralink
Finished my buttonhole tutorial video! It’s 22 minutes long. Here’s a link to the blog post, with a written tutorial for the basic buttonhole (the video has a lot more than that) and source links for all the photos I used in the video, plus a few that I didn’t.
Dammit, I made a mistake in labelling one of my reference images! That beige 1720’s coat from The Met has a functional buttonhole at the very top of the centre front as well, and I did not label it as such, even though I did the exact same buttonhole arrangement on my 1730’s coat. Shame! Oh! Shame and embarrassment!
Reblogging again because two people have expressed envy at the buttonholes on the shirt I just posted, so I hope this is helpful! It takes a lot of practice to get them nice and even but you’ll get better eventually, I believe in you!!
(Also the ones in my shirt were the kind where I do machine buttonholes and hand sew over them, mainly because that adds a lot more stability and it was a really thin fabric.)
Just got perhaps the stupidest, most baffling mean comment on any video so far. Someone called this video, this 22 minute hand sewn buttonhole tutorial “More of a showing of skill than a tutorial. Empty, clout driven content”.
What the fuck????? What the???? what????
That kind of comment might make sense for like… people doing ridiculous publicity stunts on tiktok or something, not a 22 minute hand sewn buttonhole tutorial!!??
It’s extra annoying because I knew that this video wouldn’t get a ton of views when I made it (and it didn’t!) and I still really wanted to make it because I DO want to show people how to sew things! It’s even weirder considering I do have multiple much more flashy videos on my channel, like the Werther’s waistcoat video, which could arguably be called a bit gimmicky even though I still put an unnecessary amount of hand sewing into it.
Mean comments can be upsetting, but when they’re mean and objectively wrong & incredibly stupid it’s way more frustrating.
Anyways, enjoy my empty clout driven buttonhole tutorial! That’s the way to get attention on the internet, yessiree, longform highly detailed videos explaining one specific sewing technique! All the cool youths are doing it! Why, any day now they’ll put me on the cover of Hand Sewn Historical Buttonhole Magazine and I’ll get millions of new followers and oh so much clout from having posted about this very popular subject that the general public really cares about!
(I kinda think maybe they’re just a jealous hater who’s bad at buttonholes. I know a lot of people blame things on “jealous haters” but that is honestly the only explanation I can think of that makes any sense at all.)
(Sorry I just needed to shout about that because it made me so mad. I’m calmer now.)
