Projector Sewing Join the evolution in sewing! No more printing, trimming, and taping PDF patterns. Learn to sew with a projector today!

I actually have digital copies of a bunch of my current patterns...one of the reasons I've been curious (I didn't want to print them out)
I hadn't heard of Ditto before, it looks interesting, my only concern would be being stuck in a proprietary system.
I've also seen www.projectorsewing.com

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. Thatโ€™s how you know they know itโ€™s bad.

I've had the pixel 9 pro now for less than a year, already had one warranty trade in, and by far it is the WORST cell phone I have ever owned. Android, how do you have such a glitchy OS after 15 versions? On a top tier phone! If I could cheaply switch to another, I would.

This is wild. If Dems want to figure out a way to win back the minority vote that has started to go elsewhere, this is the way.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

It Was Worse Than You Think We had a best-case scenario weekend and it was still terrible.

"Here is how bad things are: We look at the last 48 hours and feel relief. But at any other point in American history, the events of this weekend would be understood as a sign that the country was falling apart." www.thebulwark.com/p/it-was-wor...

Okay, I have a personal No Memes rule...especially memes with "facts" and quotes that are not credited as to source, though this meme is clever and is just too good.

Remember it was protests against a King that led to the American Revolution and the founding of this country.

This is not a drill.

All is takes is 3.5% of a population engaging in peaceful protest to hold back authoritarian movements.

See you tomorrow.
