I did it! I sewed with waxed canvas and made myself this bag, which I'm already in love with (because of it's imperfections?).

@MissConstrue did you ask @skinnylatte about the chocolate?

@skinnylatte what does adding the tea do?

@skinnylatte are you on Bluesky?

@skinnylatte I live in a cave. I had no idea. I do somewhat pay attention to chocolate, but more like single origin bars, not recipes.

@skinnylatte Ah interesting. I saw in the comments that there was no added sugar, which makes me wonder because Americans tend to like things sweet.

@skinnylatte omg, ganache I can hold in my hand and eat? Sign me up.

@index @skinnylatte So, should I follow you here too? I'm always so confused when people have more than one account.

@kims @alexhaist I got the idea to start a community mending circle. Put out the call to friends to see if anyone wanted to help and starting in Jan we have a dedicated space and time for six months!

Would you like a tote bag made by me for the cost of materials (and shipping from the US)?

It's a long story, but basically I have not done much sewing this year but now I'm ready to get back to it!

I have lots of interesting and fun fabrics to work with. Included is one of my totes, to give you an idea.

Cost of materials is $35. ($15 for one fabric (canvas usually), 7 for the other, $6 for interfacing, 6 for the strap, and rounded up a dollar to cover thread.

ETA: U pick from my fabrics

@dan @skinnylatte I had to go look this up and I'm even more confused. Maybe I shouldn't be, but to have them only available in the UK? I guess Americans have limited palates and wouldn't like the new flavor?

@mmm @markwyner what does nail polish do? Just make a mess that's hard to remove?

@janxdevil @mmm @markwyner omg I love this

But you'd have to do it in a way that you didn't get recorded doing it

@skinnylatte You are a rock star!

@skinnylatte are you doing flamenco guitar too???

@skinnylatte Is expense an issue. I cannot tell you how much I prefer the train to air travel between DC and NY. Boston is far enough away it probably makes sense to fly.

@fskornia why is going fine-free a good thing?

@skinnylatte Me. It's me. And I'm not even from another country. I was thrilled to go to the UK at 18 and discover entire countries that didn't use ice (although some beverages really do need to be served cold, and yes, this is a hill I will die on)

@rasterweb I am a fan of their notebooks. Haven't used the pens. I think someone else I know likes them. We like the Uniball Signo
