Plus clothes that fit it properly.

Alfred Chow - Maker of ThingsToday I popped over to work, And checked that construction waste was removed last night. Then we packed tools, And went to the community workshop. Stopped off at Lidl on the way, And picked up a tiny chainsaw, battery, and charger. At the workshop we made an installed more shelf brackets, And stacked timer on them. Back to work in our garden, I buried the drains I was working on, And set the York stone paving back in place. Did caretaking, And photographed the construction works. Sent emails, And made phone calls. Checked on Mum, We'll need to remove her cooker extractor. Joined in with <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>, Some of the questions were hard!

Making something for a birthday present?I would ask my aunt for a good picture of her cat, filter it into monochrome, print it on sticky dissolving transfer paper, and embroider a dish towel, similar to this California Valley Quail done from line art with photos for feather tints.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

Yvan<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> A5:If I could make anything at all for someone I'd make a house for Kat (and me, lol).I'd rather make it myself because British house design and construction standards are absolutely fucking garbage on all levels, it's beyond a joke how bad it is here.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>

Maybe a quilted project bag more secure than my "Crow Tools" folder.My creative life biopic title? Maybe "Needles On The Bus" for commute time stitching.

Liam<a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a> Q5: Someone near and dear has said they don't want you to buy them anything for their birthday, but MAKE something. What are you making, for whom? A5: Well, I have loved ones who adore it when I mend their clothes. So probably that. Otherwise, I'd be happy to make things for most everyone I'd be wanting to give a birthday gift to, but I'd want to talk to them about what they wanted, and make something with their input, because otherwise I might spend a *lot* of time and energy on something they don't even want. And that seems silly to me when it's easily avoidable. <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

Maaike<a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> Some item of clothing I guess. But they would have to make a very specific request, because i'd hate to spend good fabric on something that would just end up in the back of a closet. Also, making things for others is 10x more difficult that for myself, because i'd want it to be perfect (unlike stuff for myself, which can be thrown together from random scraps).

Yvan<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> A4)"Anything" is pretty broad... I mean, the obvious one is to just "create" lumps of gold. Spectacularly boring, I know. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>
