thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

This whole thread is just hilarious.

Dear God, the onions.

Here's a lil' peek of something big coming up! I'm excited to help raise funds for humanitarian and immigration aid with the next Spellbound Stitches collab. There are 30 designers with amazing bookmarks for every stitcher! Stay tuned Friday, Nov 7! #SpellboundStitches #Craftivism #CrossStitch

This week’s #SewAndTell is projects made from scraps. I had a scrap-busting frenzy this past spring. Made swimsuits (posted earlier), #SimplicityPatterns 3634 tank tops, and zippered bags (ala craftsy's beginning serger class) #garmentSewing

There is a little bluesky meme going around asking what your “curry order” is, which is not aimed at a community I am part of, but I am going through a Goodness Gracious Me renaissance right now so here’s the classic for everyone’s delight youtu.be/H-uEx_hEXAM?...
