Folk might be interested to know that across the month of May, Sustainable Fashion Week’s #MendItMay campaign invites people to mend one piece of clothing, celebrating repair as an act of empowerment.
I think I'll have a go at my #mending pile. If anyone wants to share mending projects or #craft pics, that'd be lovely.
The stats for why #repair is great are pretty compelling:
I had not realised that there was a gender divide in craft shopping, but think about it:
If it's a "hobby" store, it is full of model airplanes, TTRPG miniatures, and construction sets, intended to appeal to guys.
If it is a "craft" store, it is full of yarn, thread, paint, scrapbooking supplies, and jewellery-making supplies, assumed to appeal to gals. #Craft#sexism@fiberarts@fibrearts
Do filmu Ksiazula oraz do pozniejszego wyscigu #NASCAR na koniec niedzieli wjezdza #CrazyLines49 z browaru #Nepomucen - w sam raz na sloneczna pogode, mocno wyczuwalny smak a'la ogorek i ogolnie zielone owoce plus leciutka goryczka (naprawde leciutka - ekstrakt 15,1) - naprawde bardzo dobry krafcik 😎
@LJ@Maker_of_Things@makershour oh hello 👋 i think we have a lot in common - I live on a smallholding. You can see all about it on @ScotHomestead but I also love #dollshouses#knitting and #craft which is what this account is all about. Though recently I have been wondering why I have two because on other sites I did but here it doesn’t seem to matter so much. #MakersHour
This print was also very popular at Cheltenham and Wakefield. We sold five!
Thankfully I recently printed some more although it's already getting to the point where I need to print more.
I try to make a lot of entry level affordable prints because I know that times are tough at the moment. But I might still print that Mousehole print yet!
#BrowarFortuna wspolnie z Robertem #Makłowicz.em stworzyli kolejne piwo - tym razem #ArcyLager, z nutami herbaty (jesli dobrze zrozumialem) i ryzu
Dostepne oczywiscie w sklepach z zielonym plazem 😅
@Maker_of_Things@makershour A2 i think creatively all the time everywhere, it’s like my brain has two motors running at once. However to actually get things done I need to slow down the motors and find a brain gear that works. This is usually in my craft room with the door shut! #ADHD#Craft#MakersHour
Mt. Everest is laden with waste left by climbers — Nepal's Department of Tourism estimates that there are nearly 140,000 tons. Now, some of that material is finding its way to Tharu craftswomen who combine discarded ropes with moonj, a traditionally harvested wild grass, to make boxes and mats. NPR's Tanka Dhakal explains more about how the program works, and how its organizers hope it will grow.
Craft Project! I have a beloved Kobo Libra H2O. It has a proprietary case covered in a blue fake leather that began to flake. I took it off and for a while went with the cloth underneath. But that was beginning to fray and so I decided to fix it with my ninja bookmaking skills. Probably should have used a thinner cloth for the magnet but it looks beautiful!
Warning: Rant
My husband and I are both left-handed.
There are approximately 708 million left-handers in the world.
Over 9% of people are left-handed.
Apparently these numbers do not meet the threshold for inclusion in product design.
My former Mr. Coffee coffeemaker had ambidextrous functionality. The flap over the water reservoir opened to the back, allowing someone to pour water easily from either side.
My new Mr. Coffee coffeemaker includes a design change. The flap over the water reservoir opens to the left, making it almost impossible for me pour water into it.
I just bought a new electric water kettle. The first time I filled it with water, I guessed at the fill limit because I saw no markings inside.
Then I read the instruction manual that referenced the maximum fill line. What? Turns out, I can only see the fill line markings if I fill the kettle while holding it in my right hand. 🤦♀️
If you are a product designer, you commit design malpractice if you fail to acknowledge the existence of left-handers.
My latest charm cross stitch bb is done!! I chose Vivi from Final Fantasy IX as it was my favourite from the FF sampler I did earlier this winter. I'm very happy with how he turned out, he looks amazing on my board 🌟 #crossstitch#MastoArt#craft#finalfantasy@crossstitch
