NEW WEBSITE! I want to release a lot more articles, tools, sewing guides and more to help you start making your own gear (MYOG), so I've consolidated everything MYOG from Prickly Gorse into .
Why not tag a friend/s who would like to start making their own gear also, and I'll randomly pick someone to get a free pattern of their choice end of next week. Tagged friends have to be a follower also.
I've just added another two free patterns, and I've already open sourced the tools I've made for making patterns
Start 2024 with something you made yourself!

New pattern generators and calculators at
I got a bit carried away when thinking of my next sewing project and ended up making a selection of tools to help make your own shelter: freestanding 2 pole and tarp/trekking pole tent pattern generator playgrounds, and pole curve + cat cut calculators. All free to use
@ripstopbytheroll got any fabric recommendations for me?

Handstands with backpack on are harder than they look!

Something a bit different to sewing.
Adjustable handstand canes. Not just for showing off, they make balance a bit easier, allow some different movements and encourage commitment
Wanted a set that can fit in a bike pannier and this is what I came up with. If I had a router I'd have preferred two continuous slots instead of a load of holes and t nuts.
Still so far from the one arm handstand....

Definitely that time of year again for needing toasty hands on the commute
