#Makevember Day 18: Weight Somedays, it’s easy to head to work. It’s easy to load up a dozen orders and crank them out before 2 pm. It’s easy to ship out last week’s orders. It’s easy to deal with customers who have zero idea what they want but they want it all and for free. Somedays it’s hard to get a rhythm going, because you’ve broken 2 needles in 10 mins. Sometimes you want to throw what you are working on across the room. Some mornings, you curse why you play a sport that continually makes you so sore, it’s rough to take those few steps to the cupboard for those two precious ibuprofen still in the bottle. It’s rare, but it happens. It’s the weight you carry when you work for yourself. — There was this store in Calgary, I use the term store loosely because it was more like a warehouse full of farming equipment and really rare oddities that you could spend an afternoon sifting through. Legend has it, this man who collected this stuff did so in secret and when he died, his family had to deal with his estate. They decided to open up the warehouses and you could go and pick stuff up and bring it to the front, they would give you a weird look as to what it was and then give you a random price. I found these giant washers because they were perfectly .5” thick and 2.5” round. I had zero idea what they would be in my future until about 2 weeks ago. I bought them circa 2009. I though they would be PERFECT pattern weights. They would stack nicely and them being about 3 lbs each, they wouldn’t’ shift around. I wrapped some leather on the outside for some nice hand feel and the bottom with the flesh side of some crappy leather for a bit of traction. They’ve been a welcome addition to my cutting table especially now that I’ve started to work with a lot more leather that tends to curl due to memory of being stored in rolls. #patternweights #makersgonnamake #washers #oldfinds #repourpose (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5A3THgAFX_/?igshid=6bzznue9crul

I'm always in need of a heavy object or two, so using these concrete samples as weight ain't a bad old idea. . Could do with a lump of lead in there though unfortunately. . Last 2 photos show nicely the difference in cut and cast concrete. #honestthomas #faffinabout #leather #concrete #patternweights #leatherwork #castconcrete #cutconcrete https://www.instagram.com/p/B2oZXJPAW9e/?igshid=1g2gztcpjapva

The first set of pattern/fabric weights I delivered to my mother she was delighted with (as she is with everything I do lol) so she gave me another set to do so I’ve gone one step further gobbled together a base to keep them all on and added a little bling with some sparkling crystals on the weights #sewingweights #patternweights #art #artist #happyartistmovement #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #design #paintingonmetal #shropshireartist #disabledartist #instaart #louwhitart https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIOVebBBXg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14kmn1as16bdw

The big flaw the last time I made pattern weights for @jennoughton was that they were much too light weight. This time I made some that were heavier to supplement her stash so she can choose based on what the needs of her project are. #felting #wool #sewing #patternweights #embroidery #feltedrocksmeanswrinklyhands #happyhanukkahandmerrychristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/BrNTz9QhbA_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cqwl63cbjhfq
