I just realized I haven’t posted about my tiny jake pattern since I finished it back in like May!

I gotta redo this one on like a purse or something. At least a different aida. I used an oatmeal linen-y one and it has all these lil hair-like things all over so my projects on it all look fuzzy 😵‍💫

Tomorrow, my wife will be tricked lovingly guided into her first sewing project: ita bag pin inserts.

We made her pattern pieces and cut out everything tonight. Tomorrow she's ironing on an unholy amount of heavy interfacing and, uh... Assembling everything with the overlocker. Because why not start your sewing journey with the angriest machine in the home sewist arsenal?

Reddit, as it turns out, is rife with no sew tutorials for these doohickeys. Like, to the point of even my no-sew-loving other half wondering what childhood incident scarred so many people that they can't bear the thought of a sewing needle or machine. But those tutorials require a bunch of materials we do not have (or can't clean once assembled), and also have a glue gun that you would use if there was literally any other option. (Note to self: get better glue gun).

And she wants to be done quickly, with as little additional expenses as possible. And I had some fabric and overlocker thread in my stash that matches her bag, as well as a bunch of interfacing I've not needed as much as I thought.

The only worry is that the big panel will not be stiff enough, but theoretically we can just sandwich in a third piece of fabric with more interfacing on either side.

Poll vote Result: Stepper Motor

Thank you all for voting on the poll, as of today I find the Stepper Motor to be the one which was the winner.

Okay so I have a few ideas, not going to poll them because I want to do the zany one first, then I'll move on to the more grounded and harder one.

Henry is a two-armed robot which will move along the ground using a set of arms connected to a servo, turning on and off with the press of a button, using a sort of crank shaft mechanism which moves both arms simultaneously.

The second is a locking mechanism which will work on a clock, which will be elaborated on in a different post.

For now, let me introduce: Henry the Crawler, this is a fairly basic idea which I plan to expand on with real blueprints later.

The idea is that I will be using an Arduino nano, connected to a breadboard which gives commands to a single stepper motor to make two arms throw itself forward.

The Single stepper motor will interact with the two arms via an axle, similar to a wind-up machine, only instead of a key there is a microcontroller and a button to turn it off and on.

Now I understand that there are issues with Henry, but I think he will be hilarious.

Now I thought the best way to do this would be to use the basic wind up mechanics for the actual moving parts in this robot. Doing this out of cardboard will be difficult but it seems like it is simple enough to build, just time consuming. As for the rod part I was able to ask a roommate for bamboo sticks to add onto it, so shout out to roommate for that.

As for the winder, spring and gear part of the components, I want to use one of the 28BYJ-48 5v dc stepper motors so as to make sure it is only one part which might be able to turn the beast on and off. I'll post more with the bread board and jumper wires later on.

Though not specified in the picture, I think arms with tendons in the actual moving parts might be kind of useless, and it is beyond my knowledge to be able to make them more utilized. I will likely keep the idea around for further projects.

я хочу еще сбросить проектик библиотеки на питоне, который делал на досуге, но это скорее всего будет только на выходных, т к мне нужно будет заливать ее на гитхаб. 〄〄〄〄

I think i will post a python project of mine on weekends. I made a library, i just need to load it on. pypl and github:)

So... this happened.

We wanted to try the ribbon thing. But we forgot the whole... burn ribbon to seal it thing? I think that is a thing. So....In the end this project was tragic.

I do have a part 2. And this did give me some awesome experience! Even figured out how to tie off good.

It just doesn't look good... like I wanted it to. I know where I could go from here, but, I'm still figuring it out.

Fire... ???!!! But also, ribbon is so pretty!

Anyway, pictures! ;

Results...

It wasn't perfect. I didn't know how to end it until I was doing the panties. I did the bra first. Learning how the ribbons had to be moved and placed to have the right position was great. And it helped me get over my fears of going too small.

But, the ribbon ended up flaring out at the ends. Buts started coming off at the panties. I understand the shaping and the curves better now. And I know what makes a bra feel supportive! This'll be super helpful for whatever project comes next! 🤩

But, it also got very old, very fast. Informative, but I did want to throw it at a wall at many times. Stopping it now so I don't get to that. But I'm glad I did it! This endeavour was worth it.

Don't know where I'll go next? Maybe I'll make a moodboard, and look for more inspiration. I could do with learning some more sewing tips. Watching people make and draw custom dolls is inspiring, and I haven't even touched my sketch pad yet. I need to sort out our storage more...

Tbh there's lost to do... I'll write about what I'm doing soon! 😁
