Ok, so I actually finished it on the 12th, and then it just took until today to get pictures but it's done. Seamwork Penny Sewn in teal and black chambray. Yes the collar is a little messed up in the photo and I should've had my wife retake this angle too after she fixed it.

Gonna need y'all to yell at me if you find me on here for awhile.

Me scrolling... Wtf am I doing, put that down.

I am opening sponsorships for another round of We Want You To Have This, my sponsored jewelry gifts program for trans people in the USA. Applications will open on Friday, September 19th at 9AM Mountain (Denver) time. Sponsorships are $55. nora.jewelry/products/spo... More information in thread.

So much internal pain and I'm having a hard time recovering. Wondering if I need to try and step away from social media. There's enough things I'm struggling to deal with that it's probably not a bad idea to step away from the information firehose for a bit.

If you look closely, you might be able to tell that I can't actually access the backside easily, meaning I had to be super super careful with my stitching so I didn't have any stitches showing on the outside of the garment. That was frustrating, but all the snaps are now on. Hemming next!

Buttons! Done yesterday. Machine sewing makes them go really quick! And snaps! One side only tho... Having to hand sew snaps is really annoying. I redid two because of bad alignment until I learned the "put a pin through it to keep it aligned" trick

On the plus side... Amalia found vegemite for me at a local international market!

Fuck cars, fuck drivers who almost hit you because they're not paying attention, and fuck that random dude going into his apartment building who told me to shut up after I yelled at the driver who almost hit me

Today, drivers stopped in one direction, I start walking out into the street, and a man in a truck stops, not to let me continue crossing, but to make a left turn, with me a foot away from his truck and a foot behind the driver door side door. Drivers on Belmont suck.

This is why I spend so much time looking at stickers on signs

Buttonholes buttonholes Just look at them. They're beautiful.

Hey look, the collar is now attached! You know what that means? I get to sew on way too many buttons now!

I was working on sewing, but I cut open a pear and found a wriggly worm inside, so now it's time to lie down and rethink my life

Songs in My Head Thread! Won't you gimme an ice cream? Take an edge off this summer heat Ural Thomas & The Pain - Gimme Some Ice Cream It's catchy and it reflects how I feel about summer. In that ice cream, popsicles, smoothies, all excellent choices. #simht

got the inside & outside parts of the waistband all lined up nice

IDK if it's intentional or not, but the design of these half size picnic tables looks like it makes them wheelchair friendly.

when moomin goes really fast to they call that nyoomin

Now the bodice has a skirt attached. Waistband still isn't done on the inside though, hence why you can still see all my skirt gathering stitches.

It’s 🐝 yourself Friday don’t forget to 🐝 yourself today

Got enough thoughts in my head about things that I wish I didn't have to wait another week to talk to my therapist about.

Shoot!! I hadn’t posted this here!!!!!!!

Feel like I should update the progress photos post But I've got a collar and a skirt to sew on to the bodice now.

How to emigrate...

Our computer system at work thinks our bike parking lot is full at 450 bikes... We're technically at 455 now.

USAC rule disputer

No photo of the actual bicycle, had to confirm it via user manual, but a "bolt together your own frame" e-bike!

I skate commuted today, and I'm so fucking sweaty. Like, wring my hair and shirt out and have enough to drink sweaty.

Actually, maybe I shouldn't mental health post in such specific detail

Me: why am I so jittery Also me: you've only had a bowl of oatmeal and two cups of coffee today

Haha, it's depression times again

I'm sewing again today! (Which means I'm actually doing a lot of laying down)

I went and saw some really long jeans today. Like, seriously long. Could fit like, 3 to 4 people's legs in them long.

It's still doing it. Off and on. Just weird vibrations and tingling in my foot.

There's a thing I wish for with some sewing patterns, and it's designing to allow the maker to use nicer seam finishes than just, running a zig zag stitch down the whole length of the seam.

It’s a surprise trans pizza! If you are not cisgender and want pizza, reply here with a song that makes you feel good, or just the word PIZZA. I’ll pick 5 winners completely at random and send them $50 each for pizza via PayPal or Venmo. Let’s hear some bops!

It's true. I'm a woman of my word.

Today it's Sew on a placket. Understitch said placket. Iron placket flat. Get confused by instructions on how to join the right and left skirt fronts together without messing up the placket. Go lay down.

Went to a different knitting group today and it felt like cheating

💕🍕Portland, OR, 9/20. See you there?🍕💕

my left foot feels like it's resting against a cell phone that's vibrating about once a second

"Will you get me your foot out of the knitting box?" - my wife

Made a little holder thingy for my thread snips. Because they're sharp and pointy. And springy, so they don't stay closed on their own.

I made a mistake I say thru garbled tongue as I realize all my meds are now in my mouth and I have no water at hand

I think I fried myself this weekend

Sneaking up on other people's trans pride stickers

Do I wanna sit at home and be like, it's soooo hot. Or go out on an adventure and be like, it's soooo hot.

Flat felled seams won. They're kinda pretty annoying around an armscye though. But, this dress is being sewn to wear, not to live in an art museum. Also, progress photo!
