Trudeau tells business leaders at economic summit Trump's 51st state threat 'is a real thing' | CBC News in c/canada
[–] bowreality 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s do it. Canada has to come first. “Real thing” or not we need to have our destiny in our own hands. Let’s supply as much as we can within Canada and the partner with friendly countries. We have great products there is a market!

London Drugs has a filter on their homepage called “proudly Canadian”. Quite handy when looking to switch brands.

Finally got that colour Ritza! RM is the only one I could find to get it. $20 to Canada but I ordered a bunch more to make up for that lol. Got some new tools and more thread colours. 💪

Is it allowed to post craft made by other people? in c/leathercraft
[–] bowreality 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as it’s related to leather craft and credited to the maker, sure. I see it as inspiration.

You might want to connect with them on Mastodon. I found them super helpful with a couple of questions I had.

I have. I like most of it. I think there is a ton to learn and she gives plenty of options and solutions for issues. I haven’t hit most of them yet but I bet I will. It’s definitely more for athletes and especially endurance athletes but enough for normal women in there.

Did you go in the Omnivore plugin settings to point it to a folder? I just created a folder called “Omnivore” and it drops all into that folder.

Oh Omnivore for sure!!! It’s a reader app so you send it there. Read, highlight and it sends the highlights to Obsidian. It can also handle newsletters and RSS feeds. Did I mention it’s free?

Did they drop all episodes yesterday? I only want to pay one month of Netflix.

Just got their email. That was it for me. I had kept my account to make sure they aren’t bringing back my deleted posts. Time to get rid of the account and tell them they suck.

Fiebings Pro dye and Barge won’t be sold in Canada any longer. Law change starting 2024 banning both products in Canada because of VOCs.

Software for pattern design (self.leathercraft)
submitted 2 years ago by bowreality to c/leathercraft
2 comments fedilink
 

If you like to design your own patterns check out Affinity Designer. Blows my mind!

Quick to learn how to draw patterns, easy to resize and so so much more.

Here is a great example from today: I tried to figure out how to get the length of the one side of an odd shaped part of my pattern. I know the measuring tool in Affinity but it seemed to only do straight lines, distance between objects or area.

Quick search and I learned I can break the curve points and then it shows me the length of the different sides and the area 🤯

Extremely handy especially when working with zippers in a certain size.

I also can export as svg or pdf. Print and cut your patterns (pdf) or if you have a Cricut or Silhouette (svg), cut the patterns with that! Or even the leather if not too thick.

I am considering selling some patterns in the future and I can even toss in the afdesign file for people so they can adjust what they want.

Affinity Designer btw is super affordable especially compared to Adobe Illustrator and such. If I remember correctly there is free 30 day trial.

Anybody else using Affinity Designer?

Do I see all comments? (self.lemmy_ca_support)
 

I am moderating this sub and it shows 4 comments. I only see 3?! https://lemmy.ca/post/1528939 Does anybody else see 4? I am a bit concerned if there are 4 and I can see only 3 (2 are mine). As a moderator that would be no good.

Repairs (self.leathercraft)
submitted 2 years ago by bowreality to c/leathercraft

I recently watched this video by Corter and it was a bit of an aha moment.

Whether it’s repair, changing the thread colour or in my case fixing some mistakes … I love how leather products can be opened up and redone. Not everything of course but the stitch line is fairly simple to revamp, billets are quickly replaced and even edges can be re-burnished.

I love the 2nd bag that I ever made a lot but it was my second bag. I had missed a whole and one corner was therefore off, I attached the buckle upside down (it works but looks off) and a seam was opening up. Burnished edges weren’t good yet.

So I sat down today and fixed it all. It was easier than I thought and it’s a nice upgrade! I wish I had taken before and after pics.

Data request vs deleted posts/comments (self.reddit)
 

I had deleted all my content before the subs went dark. Some (very few) came back and I deleted again. But for a couple of weeks now my account is clear of all content. I decided to request my data from Reddit to see what they would send. They sent me my whole (deleted!) content. Like every comment and post ever submitted to the site. Is there anyway to request them to delete?!

Version 1 (Mac) and iPad app would that work? (self.affinity)
submitted 2 years ago by bowreality to c/affinity
1 comments fedilink
 

I am still on version 1 but I want to add the iPad app. Are the files compatible or will I run into the version issue?! They have a sale on right now so I am looking at $125 (universal upgrade) vs iPad only ($18). It’s a huge difference. I don’t need the full suite of software really just the designer.
