Old, drafty windows means apts are 50 at night and low 60s during the day. We need to update these temp requirements!08 Aug 2026 08:05 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3mskmezg2os2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3msjkdanpda5c#delicious bananas foster #pancakes from #foundingfarmers. #foodie #breakfast 07 Aug 2026 21:56 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3msjkdanpda5chttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3msaxyh2bqoxd#foundingfarmers in #DC is delicious. #foodie 04 Aug 2026 12:06 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3msaxyh2bqoxdhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3ms6invwqwdbcAnother #Otakon has passed. Some thoughts on it: found a variety of panels I liked and could get into. Dealer’s room was really lackluster. Too many D&D die selling booths, too many booths selling cheap teas, and a lot of cheap hair pins. Many booths I saw in the past were missing this year.03 Aug 2026 12:27 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms6invwqwdbchttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3ms4mcgntj35rPleased with learning the art of #japanese #fabric folding, #furoshiki. This is a great one for transporting two bottles. I have so much #scrap fabric so this is a great way to use it for #gifting instead of using wrapping paper. #otakon #eco #cute02 Aug 2026 18:26 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms4mcgntj35rhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3ms3lnwa3nlvgHaving a blast at #otakon.

The #Janome #coverpro3000 professional!!! It’s a #coverstitch machine that chain stitches and also top stitches! It’ll be great for knits and Bjj nogi!

I totally dropped off the face of the earth for a while. I’ve been focusing on my #CANSLIM style position trading. Three years ago I made the decision to switch from a Warren Buffett style investor to a trader. Why? Because I’ve got ambition.25 Jul 2026 19:19 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3mriljiudk4jchttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3mh4trx42vymb#Simplicity #vintage #1950s pattern 00582 is finished! I’ll definitely make the belt longer in the next iteration since this one is too short to tie a bow. I suspect that’s one of many differences between the original pattern and this reprint. Anyway I’m off to my next vintage #sewing adventure. :)15 Mar 2026 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh4trx42vymbhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3merwjcsufhyy#sewing this auspicious dress that certainly has Asian inspiration in the fit and neckline. Using a cheap quilting cotton and barely had enough for the dress. Wasn’t sure how this would fit or look so didn’t want to go straight to a nicer fabric like silk.14 Feb 2026 02:02 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3merwjcsufhyyhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3mdq4ubykga2eMaking progress on this #princess peplum jacket. Still need to add buttons and finish the lining. I sewed the lining in but need to hand sew it to the waist.

It feels like the space is complete now. Wouldn’t mind a larger rack for serger thread. Right now I keep those stashed in a drawer. #sewing #sewist #fiberarts18 Jan 2026 13:49 +0000at://did:plc:fnenbfobphj2akeg2n55bxep/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcpbgth23uunhttps://bsky.app/profile/lizsewsthings.bsky.social/post/3mco36ntr32csMaking fast progress with this #peplum jacket!
