Been meaning to make one of these for years!

Blogspot - I used to post on there more often, and I really would like to get back into it. Mostly longform sewing posts about how I made a thing.

Youtube - Mostly sewing videos, with each step of the project explained in thorough autistic detail. New videos come out whenever I finish making one (which is not super often) and they are however long they need to be to contain all the relevant information.

Patreon - Started out as just extra @pterribledinosaurdrawings but now I also do monthly behind the scenes updates on the sewing video stuff I'm working on, and have done a few unscripted bonus videos. (I also have a ko-fi but I haven't really posted anything there.)

Instagram - Occasional photos of stuff I've made, much the same as I post here.

Facebook - Same stuff as instagram. I don't look at my feed on either of those places but I still post.

Pinterest - Where all my beloved reference pictures live. Wanna see pictures of extant 18th century waistcoats? My board for that has over 1,400 pins!

Spoonflower - Repeating patterns on fabric.

Redbubble - All the patterns from Spoonflower on various things, plus various other drawings (many of them are @pterribledinosaurdrawings).

Here is all my things and stuff! If tumblr spontaneously combusts that’s where I can be found.

Who wants to hear a DIY tiling pro tip that the experts won't tell you

hazelriver74

Yes!

derinthescarletpescatarian

Do not drop your phone into the bucket of tile adhesive. This step is actually completely unnecessary and massively complicates the tiling process.

You say this but my uncle is a tiler and he swears by the “drop phone in putty bucket” technique. I think you’re just posting this for clout

derinthescarletpescatarian

Your uncle is caught up in a tradition that he was taught as an apprentice that he never questioned. Modern putty doesn't require phone, the formula has changed.

MY uncle says some customers still demand the phone putty technique because it "doesn't look right otherwise"

derinthescarletpescatarian

Drop an empty phone case in and those customers can't tell the fucking difference because there is no fucking difference.

My mum renovated houses for thirty years, she says “you’re half right, but in some cases - particularly in houses built before 1930 - the phone does add some benefit. Could be a tablet too if you’ve an old one in the garage. And anyone who says it’s got to be a particular model is just being precious about it, whatever the forums say.”

IPhones and tablets where invented in 1898, what did they do before then?

derinthescarletpescatarian

Nothing, tiles were invented in 1899.
