The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

Could not be more excited to get plants in the ground this year. Seed starting was a big bust for us this year. A late second freeze and we forgot to bring the plants into the house. Oops. Off to buy some tomatoes & get my hands in the soil👩🏼‍🌾🥳

Pretty big news especially in light of ~current events~: Yesterday the FDA approved a new non-hormonal IUD for the first time in more than 40 years. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Celebrating H’s birthday with his “Chocolate with an entire jar of Luxardo cherries & cream cheese frosting” cake. Edible flowers from our garden. I love making birthday cakes! He made his shirt (#SageTee) a couple years ago.

Working on my first #PeppermintWrapSkirt and listening to one of the latest records in our collection. Tony Rice is always a favorite. #SewSky #GarmentSewing #Sewing #TonyRice

I wrote about why 2025 is the year of the craft night! With references to craft & political action, polymer clay pickles, and the cringey legacy of the pussyhat. Be a pal and give it a read?

I have so many #sewing projects floating through my brain while I’m at work but I’m too zapped to make them a reality once I’m home 🥲 Currently dreaming about a Rue Coat in this linen jacquard, hard pants in Chicken Twill ( #ShopPants? #CoeTrousers?), and more #BrierPants w/ a deep hem. #sewsky

While I was busy sewing my partner decided to fix up the bread box up properly🥰 I’m not sure what to put in the drawers yet but it fits everything that has needed a home perfectly! #SewSky #Sewist #SewingSpace

Finished two #SommarCamisole I like this pattern but it definitely requires (easy) mods for a large bust. I added clear elastic in the straps. Added 2” to the length of the largest shelf bra. +1” length to the black one & will bind the hem to maintain the length #GarmentSewing #SewSky #Sewist

Cleaning up this funky lil bread box to store sewing notions. Maybe someday I’ll get around to touching up the paint but for now tung oil on the handles and a proper wipe down will do.
