Yesterday I tested out some techniques to machine-fell the side seams and french-seam the bottom corners of the fabric bags, and finishes for the top edge. A ribbon finish wasn’t very good at all, but a double fold hem seems fine. Putting some cord into the side seams for added structure worked great. Now I need to find the rest of the muslin. Maybe order some cotton tape. Learn to tie a clove hitch.

Imager’s Challenge continues well; the protagonist is finally learning to think for himself as a member of a complex net of people all with their own values and motivations, which are not necessarily bad even when they do not align with his.

Deep-cleaned the center shelf of the cabinet in the butler pantry, which was mostly old food that expired five years ago (or more; I found a few marked 2009). Emptied glass bottles down the sink until my saving throws ran out, then cleaned up, and burned some cinnamon to clear the worst of the weird smells. Laundered the dish towels as we are Extremely Out.

Lunch, crossword, sewing; dinner, Repair Shop, snack, sleep. Dreamt of defeating a Baba Yaga riddle through dimensional analysis.

Yesterday I did something unmemorable with my morning. We did the crossword then I think? After lunch we went to geagle and got carrots, red peppers, sweet potato, almond butter, soup, Cheerios, sanding sugar, baking powder, ap flour, frozen green beans, eggs, half and half, and mozzarella. I put a load and a half of laundry through the machines, then started tidying the sewing room. I packed up the final pattern for the couch cushions, moved the jumble of stuff that tends to accumulate on the cutting table to the tray of the sewing box I got a couple years ago, then got possessed by a cleaning spirit that ended with moving furniture and vacuuming the sewing room and the bedroom and second floor landing. In the process I finished To Say Nothing Of The Dog, which wrapped up nicely. It’s not clear the author agrees with my headcanon, but that’s fine.

Dinner, Voyager, snack, sleep. Dreamt of a vastly different CMU campus, where an ML group had built an enormous robotic pig. I discovered a gymnasium and engaged a couple of random coworkers in a weird game of catch with props. A sketch journal about my efforts to re-learn handstands. Accidentally stole handwritten notes from a colleague. A topographic art installation. Being late for something in the woods.
