Sandwich and fruit salad picnic on the river with bubbles, chalk, and sparklers. William has all the good photos of sparklers, mine turned out terribly.

P.S.: The space capsule drawing is a reference to Felix Baumgartner.

I finally finished the bike I was building for my mom in time for Mother’s Day.

It took me a lot longer than it should have, but it’s done. Yeah, I know those bars are at a weird angle, but it’s her first road bike. She’ll level up to lycra, foot retention, and riding in the drops later.

I love how out of all the things I have posted, this is what blew up on tumblr.

Oh internet.

Have an old band shirt you can’t wear anymore, but still love the graphic on it? Make it into a patch.

Sorry there aren’t more photos. I just sewed this on a whim and didn’t think about it.

Need:

scissors
pins
needle
shirt
felt and thread of appropriate colors
sewing machine

What to do:

Cut out the image with a 1/4” margin around it and pin to felt.
Put a running stitch around it to hold in place.
Remove pins.
Sew a line stitch on both the inner and outer margins (about a 1/4” wide) of what will be your ebroidered/finished area.
Trim off the extra fabric. Switch machine to zig-zag stitch.
Pass around entire margin outer edge to prevent fraying. Then switch to the middle.
Change zig-zag width to something narrower and pass around the middle again. Then switch to the inner edge.
Now you have a patch and need to figure out where to put it.

I have no idea what to do with mine. Maybe I’ll sew it onto one of the shopping totes I’m making out of old pants.

Hey, it’s National Bike Month. So put your butt on your saddle if you haven’t already.

And this is my new helmet. It’s cyan and matches nicely with my clipless shoes and current bar muff.

P.S.: Thank you again Bern for making wonderful lightweight, comfy, and sturdy helmets in good colors and patterns. Oh yeah, and for saving my brain from turning into complete mush that one time.

I’ve become completely infatuated with using letterpress for patterning, but I only have access to the book arts room for one more day until August. :c
