The striped rainbow quilt being bound with a space themed binding, the machine has an attachment that gives a wide flat work surface level with the needle.

I love the table attachment for my machine so much.

The pants turned inside out and lying on a quilt, the lining is a blue faux patchwork check

These are fully lined and the seams are covered in bias binding. I used a cotton poplin for the lining. The pants open up in the pocket so there's no zipper and they are very forgiving for changing bodies #garmentsewing #sewsky

The lining made these a bit snugger than my other pairs but I suspect they will relax a bit with wear. #garmentsewing #sewsky

I am standing on the snow facing the camera in brown wool pleated front pants with turned up cuffs. I've styled them with brown boots, a blue shirt with "abomination unto nuggin" on it, and a green cardigan.

I have completed my lined wool trousers. The pattern is the @stylearc.bsky.social Billie Trousers and it's the third time I've made these. Fabrics from fabricmart. #garmentsewing #sewsky

I'm just watching the regular OTA coverage of the Olympics and trying to redirect my child to it occasionally because I think he will find something cool. He's uninterested in snowboarding so far but ice dancing is "actually pretty cool"

This morning I took the kiddo to the YMCA for a workout and a swim, then we picked up a huge bag of library books, got lunch, and then braved the grocery store. Now I'm tired and a bit sore and watching some ice skating.

Which not only means you can spread the work time, but also it develops more flavor!

I would not use it in cases where the roux is doing heavy lifting on flavor or thickening alone, but yeah it works great for things like cheese sauce and white gravy.

It's a good thing a roux still pretty much works with gluten free flour or I'd have to relearn how to cook in addition to learning how to bake.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said.

There wasn’t much he could say to his son, β€œexcept hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said.

Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change.

"He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. β€œI would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

NAL but work with legal documents daily - what I'm pretty sure the court is doing here is not making a precedent against AI use in general that could come back and bite them.
