I saw pill bugs on here a few weeks ago and really wanted to make my own! The pattern is a bit rough but I hope it works (I tried to get it perfect for like a week before calling it good enough).
Just print out (or copy from a screen) the first page and cut out the pattern pieces. Hopefully the pictures on page two will help but if not I will do my best to answer any questions!
Hope you enjoy and make your own lil isopod friend!
If anyone makes this, I would love to see pictures 💕

Saw an adorable pistachio green Singer at the thrift store yesterday and ugh it's terribly overpriced for the condition its in. 100 CAD is too much when you've got no bobbins and are missing the bobbin plate cover! There's a bunch of dust and dirt in there of course, and no lightbulb, and who knows what other work it needs. Also the green plastic box it's in seems kinda warped and shaky, though at least it still has the lid.
Not my photo but it looked like this.
just a bit sadder and with an indecently exposed bobbin area. Edit: Like this one.
But it's probably good for me that it was out of my price range, because I'd be sorely tempted if it was under 50, and would have probably bought it right away if it was under 30, and I Do Not need more machines when I haven't finished fixing up the ones I already have!
(It's not that I want to Possess a ton of vintage machines, you understand, it's just that they are all sad little orphaned kittens and puppies to me. Who will give them a metaphorical bath and medicine? Would they starve without me??)
Looked back in today and it's still there AND there's a 40% off sale on several categories of thing, including electronics, and I asked if that includes sewing machines and was told yes it does.
I left because I was hungry and carrying heavy groceries but ohh dear. That makes the sweet little green baby $60 CAD, which is only slightly more than I paid for the groceries. A solid metal machine lasts so much longer than a groceries.
The annoying thing is I have no idea how long the sale is on for, because the employee I asked said presumably the whole week but who knows, and their website and social media also doesn't say.
Hrmmmmmmmmmmm I may go back tomorrow and ask to plug it in and try the pedal. That would be bad and naughty and neglectful of my other machines but I may do it.
How about I make a list of tasks I have to do first! If I:
Fix the timing on my 99k so it actually stitches and
Reattach the motor with the new drive belt and
Sand the inside of the wooden base pieces and glue & clamp the corners.
Clean and shellac the snag-y fibrous bit of horn on my White VS2 (sanding & burnishing didn't work)
Edit the voiceover for my year in review video
Record the intro & outro for that video
Draw this week's Patreon dinosaur
Then I'm allowed to buy it if it's still 40% off. Normally I am very slow at Tasks but this may speed me up.
Well that was the most productive evening I've had in a long time!
I injected glue into 3 cracks on my wooden case and put wood filler in the holes and let that dry for several hours.
I found a very helpful video on fixing the timing & needle bar height on a 99k and got that all sorted out and now it's stitching again! And I popped the motor & light back on, which is by far the fastest and easiest task on this list.
I sanded the wood filler and wiped the dust off and glued the 4 sides of the box together. (Now I can return this clamp that I borrowed from Papa a few weeks ago.)
Still plenty more to do on the box, but progress is being made!
During this time I was also adding hourly coats of shellac to the scruffy horn bit on the shuttle holder thingy for my White VS2. I did 3, and then a 4th daub on one part, and I also found a couple small burrs on the metal and carefully filed & sanded them off.
I let it dry overnight, tried it this morning, and it seems to have stopped the big loopy snags!
I still need to mess around with the tension a bit, but I'm going to wait a couple days just to make sure the shellac is fully cured before I subject it to any more vibrating shuttle action.
Now just the last 3 tasks to go!
Also, I was surprised to hear in the notes that apparently 100 is still a good price for this machine? Maybe I've just been very lucky, but the last two machines I got in sad fixer upper shape (the 99k and a Japanese Singer 15 clone) were $20 each, and my Pfaff 360 was $25 at an estate sale. (Originally 50 but it was half off day.) I paid 200 for my 15-91 when I moved out and it was newly refurbished, so half of that for something that will need new parts and hours of work feels like an awful lot.
Self-imposed task list: DONE in just over 24 hours!
Singer 185J: MINE for $60!
Arms: TIRED ow I walked all the way home with it. At least it's a "portable" model, so smaller and lighter than the 15.
I'll make a separate post with some more pictures later!! (Also I really need to make an actual post about my 15 clone sometime)
I'm still amazed at how well that worked as motivation to do tasks. I never get that much done in one day. I will try to bribe myself in a similar manner to do more tasks, but I don't think it'll work as well without an unknown time limit. But I could make a list of tasks to finish before I can wipe the dirt off the surface, another list to do before I can remove the motor and the world's crustiest drive belt, a big task to do before I can free it from the cracked plastic case (oooh!!) before I can order new parts, etc.
this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this, which i have only tested at a small scale and not this final version exactly (where i have done such things as further widening the cheeks and finalizing the leg shapes.) i bestow it upon you nice folks now 👐
go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!
woah this got big!! and after another try i have another untested tweak for yall. this should help the weird pinchy side seams out. yey
Spike the Dragon
Commission piece. Spike is a fullsuit, however the customer was a little too large for me to take proper full body photos. He is made from neoprene, includes moving jaw and tear duct vision.
Nearu the Owl! His commissioner requested to not see any WIPs at all before seeing it in person for the first time. He was a lot of fun to work on!

Someone's on a RAMPAGE! 🐝 Meet Rampage, the yellowjacket wasp!✨We are SO excited to reveal this fursuit, he was a huge undertaking and we are so proud of how he turned out.💖 See more of him with @Twilight_Saint ! 🌟 Model's smaller than client so excuse the fit/flop/no neck.
He's got super unique shapes and padding, large minky wings with an armature, huge tail, hands with finger escapes, antennae, and an inflatable tail!
You can see how he came to life by checking out the WIPs on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PoeProductions
While we are very proud of what we were able to accomplish in terms of bringing this suit to life, none of it would have been possible without the INCREDIBLE design work by the client. @Twilight_Saint is a true artist (and a bit of a visionary tbh!)
new sounds effects

Depression has been kicking me in the butt lately so I decided to make a little pill bug friend for myself using this pattern by @livvi3love. I changed a couple details to fit my own preferences (like sewing the legs rather than using felt) and I'm very happy with the result! I've been wanting an isopod plushie for a while so it was fun to make my own :>

GUYS ehehehgjjg
For everyone who wanted their own sick tfp merch!
Printable movable Soundwave model is here >:D
It’s Soundwave! It is 40 centimeters tall (for americans it’s 0,0043 football fields or 1.3 feet) From the bottom of the feet to the highest
The person who made this figure wrote a full manual on how to make it, and as a Transformers fan I feel it is my sacred duty to spread the word.
Also. Just..JUST LOOK AT HIM. ISN'T HE THE COOLEST SOUNDWAVE FIGURE YOU'VE EVER SEEN?
Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!
Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.
And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition
I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch
The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!
RSN Stitchbank
rsnstitchbank.org
I looked at some of the tutorials last night and holy shit I'm so impressed! They're SO thorough! Not only do they have written and video instructions, but there are photo and illustration options for each image AND a "flip view" button so that left handed people can see all the images in reverse!
I am going to jump in and add, as you said they are very detailed in their directions, something that takes a lot of time and money.
If anyone who has enjoyed this resource has the means, I encourage you to adopt or sponsor a stitch to help keep this free to access. I know not everyone has the means to (fair, been there) but if you can, check out their sponsor options
RSN Stitch Bank Progress
