I’ve been doing a lot of work on Radian lately. Today’s project was adding support for rational numbers, which means it can deal with fractions now and not just whole numbers. I expect I will put out another binary release this weekend.

The dress for Jeanine is coming along slowly; I’ve been pecking at it in small bursts. I finished up the lining today and sewed it on to the body material along the neck line. I made a mistake I’ll have to go back and correct but it’s a simple thing. I doubt there’s more than an evening’s work left to finish the project.

Today I went over to West Seattle and picked up an industrial serger for ALTSpace. It’s made by some no-name Chinese factory, but it was priced to move – some guy who was the non-sewing half of a small fashion business ended up with all the gear, and after it took up space in his garage for a year he just wanted it gone. I tried it out and it works well; it’s very, very fast.
