@aetios Hahaha true. If you are looking for something cheaper you might wanna go with something used. Though have a look at them first that they are in a good enough condition

@aetios Do you need a sewing machine for those?

@aetios Oh nice. I know my mom has overlock at home (she is an actual Tailor for women and children or used to be anyway)

Though the overlock alone might not be enough for sewing. Overlocks are really great for serging though.

Never had one myself so I dunno if they can do normal straight stitch as well.

@rick fun sounds nice

@pixel Only one solution. Open that sucker and wires ftw (or get some other keyboard)

@aetios But bandcamp is normally sometimes a bit overwhelmed on bandcamp friday. This ain't helping for sure

@rick I mean I get that Gojo could wing something like that. If you have years upon years of sewing experience and patterning prowess (these dolls certainly do not have any sewing patterns)

It should be an easy thing for him to take some measurement and tailor stuff for Marin.

(Though the measurement taking might be )

Also I cannot fathom the torture that it must be to create these small costumes for the dolls. Super small and intricate stuff is the baine of my sewing existance.

@rick doing a little infodump abour stuff I found on reddit

@rick I can attest to that. Even though my stuff surely has things that would be needed to be done better.

Tbh though. Marin atleast is dedicated. Even though she has no inkling about sewing she tried it. I can respect that.

Though going about that stuff without a sewing pattern or anything just by the photo seems... interesting.

Good there is always stuff to choose from in terms of sewing pattern. Like with the Maid Dress I wanted to make or that skirt I am making at the moment.

It sure helps having one. They also come with little instruction booklets or in the case of that maid dress even with video. Great to learn from.

Also that vintage sewing machine of Gojos Granddad was nice to see. From what I know about table-sewing machines... (yes its literally built into the table) they are quite rudimentary. Only doing straight stitch when its that old. They normally very sturdy though.

Also that big handwheel can be useful when doing thick leather where sewing with the motor is no option. You basically stitch that stuff using the handwheel I heard.

Though obviously there industrial grade machines that can plow through leather used in upholstery lol.

I finished my trousers!

Over a year ago I set out on the project to make myself a pair of trousers, copied from an old pair of hiking trousers that I liked. I'd never done any sewing of that complexity.
I used a 40-year-old sewing machine and did a lot of hand basting.
It was quite a learning experience. It's amazing how many pieces there are in such a garment, how many little details.

I cut the old trousers open at the seams, laid the pieces out on the floor and calculated the size of the fabric.

The fabric I used is 100% cotton, 110 cm wide, 217 g/sqm and I needed 2.5 m.

The trousers don't have a crotch seam. Instead there is a gusset that runs the whole length of the legs. There is also a yoke and lots of other details like darts at the knees and fancy front pockets. The hardest part was the zip, I had to redo that. I did the buttonhole by hand.

I know it's kind of expected to post pictures but in the end this is just a rather plain grey pair of trousers, not much to see.
