@1kittynoir1 replied to your post:

What did it get used for? 👀

It's not done yet, but it's the facing, collar, and cuffs for the patchwork dressing gown I'm working on! It was less than half a metre of silk/rayon velvet that I dyed in college because the sample we did of that colour was so nice I wanted a bigger piece. (It was PRO MX fibre reactive dye in the colour Marine, and I don't have my dye sample book with me right now but I think it was at 4%. It shows up more green on some fibres and more blue on others, but is always gorgeous.)

I had no specific plans for it at the time, but eventually the perfect project came along, and there was just enough!

I've been working on this thing (intermittently, in short busts) for a few years now, and am finally done the patchwork and on to the construction. I've posted occasional updates on @vincentbriggs and will post photos there when I'm done.

I've also been filming the whole process, so I'll have a video about it up on my youtube channel eventually, but that'll be a while after it's finished because I have so so so many clips and it's going to take a horrifyingly large amount of editing.

It's based on this c. 1835 original, which is a good 50-100 years later than what I usually sew, but I like it and I wanted one.

If anyone's wondering how many triangles mine has, it's 6,957.

Since I've got the time consuming part out of the way I'm hoping I can get the construction done before winter officially ends.

Edit: Why does everyone think I had a bad time working on the triangles?? I loved working on them, it was so satisfying to put lots of little bits of colour together. The reason I worked on it intermittently is because I could not put it down once I got working on it, and would work on it all day for several days straight until I was very tired and sore, and then I had to put it away to stop myself, and then I'd forget about it for a few months.

Also, they're machine sewn. Most of the actual garment construction will be by hand, but the patchwork is all by machine.

I finished my dressing gown.

And besides the velvet, it of course used up a lot of other little bits of fabric!

(Once again, my sewing and other non-dinosaur works are mainly posted on @vincentbriggs)

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Video finished :)

It's an hour and 13 minutes long and I say 11,785 words in it.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

i want to build up my skill set to one day be able to make something like this!!!! #op this is 1) absolutely gorgeous & 2) so much helpful information! thank u for sharing 🥰 #all the shots of twirling in the finished garment made me so so happy i got a little teary-eyed??? #‘it looks very nice. it reminds me of — you know when people have extra nipples?’ #absolutely Took Me Out i hollered #like that comment toward the end of such an earnest video? so unexpected. so fucking hilarious

Thank you!! Good luck on your sewing! And I'm glad my Very Correct nipple observations were appreciated

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

This post is getting notes again, and I just wanna add some pictures of other things I've made videos of.

Stripey painted leather gloves.

Velvet mite brooch.

Leaf for head.

Leaf for torso, a leaf sequel, now with added slime mould beading.

Very very long and detailed shirt tutorial, which I also did a written version of. You should make one, it's all rectangles.

and Normal Fabric Waistcoat.

I am very slow at making youtube videos but I post monthly updates on the video stuff I've been working on over on patreon, along with 4 extra dinosaurs a month. (and aaghh I know I've been really really sparse with the dinosaurs here lately, I'm sorry!! It's not intentional, there are just a lot of other things to do and also it's been over 9 years and every year I get a little more tired of drawing dinosaurs!)

Right now I'm editing a video for a thing I finished sewing almost 2 months ago, and it's not even one of my longer videos, I've just been doing other things and stuff.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Oh hey I made another one recently and it actually is a Normal Fabric Waistcoat, unlike the previous one which was candy wrappers.

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

[sourvape-deactivated20251109]

Why do we say “slept like a baby” when babies literally wake up screaming every two hours?

I want to sleep like a middle-aged dad who “rests his eyes” during a Marvel movie and wakes up refreshed, confused, and ready to barbecue.

“you have a headache from doing nothing all day??”

idk how to explain chronic migraines to you

[headpainmigraine]

The idea that some people think that something you've done is responsible for causing your headaches (and migraines?) just opened a window in my brain that explains a lot of ableist shit going around about headache havers and migraineurs

[pangur-and-grim]

the Murderbot show is reeeallly good. I was a bit worried about the actor being some white dude, when Murderbot is supposed to be more sexually ambiguous, but as it turns out intense Scandinavian autism is a gender all on its own

Sex work is real work and if you disagree, leave.

Y’all really out here getting cucked huh

[noblepeasant]

Dude, he’s fucking the girl you jack off to. That’s the exact opposite of being cucked.

[fordtato]

The comments are full of people going “it’s not like they’re having sex in these examples or anything” so I’ll go ahead and bite the controversy bullet and add:

Even if a sex worker partner is having sex with clients, it’s also literally just work. It isn’t morally wrong. There is nothing wrong with it if both parties in a relationship are aware of the work, and if everyone is being safe.

Sex workers who have sex are no worse or “dirtier” than sex workers who provide other services.

[optimysticals]

Sex work is work and pitting different types of workers against each other only helps keep us all down.

[lousydrawingsforgoodpeople]

[teaboot]

So anyways with the rapid rise of fascism I feel it’s a good time to point out that it’s perfectly legal to follow unjust orders slowly, badly, or inefficiently

[teaboot]

Breaking the law, even an unjust law, has consequences that not all can afford. But also a very large number of us are also very stupid, or very confused, or very lazy, and so it’s not unreasonable that someone at the bottom of the chain of command might make a typo, or misplace some paperwork, or leave a Friday afternoon email for Monday morning.

When something goes wrong, or an operation slows down, because a low-level worker somewhere sent a package to the wrong address or left someone on hold for an hour or didn’t fill out a particular form correctly- Do you immediately assume malicious intent? Or do you usually just brush it off as some underpaid idiot being bad at their job?

[teaboot]

You also gotta not brag about it. Keep your political opinions on the down low. Be noncommittal or ignorant or undecided. Say things like “I’ve never heard of that”, “where did you hear that?” or “that’s interesting, I heard a conflicting story from here, how weird”. Never be outwardly confidant of what you know. When there is a silence, don’t fill it- leave the space and let the other fill it for you. That’s how you get information, that’s how you find sources, that’s how you reduce the value of anything others get out of you.

Virtue signalling by wearing pins and ribbons and loudly declaring your place is not safe in some environments. It will place scrutiny on you and everything you touch. Nobody believes the guy who says “fuck my boss and everything he stands for” scratches the boss’s car by accident, even if it is an accident.

If you want to slow the march of a tank, filling the path with mud is going do more than laying down in front of it.
