@jasoncoon that's far more legible; I may have to do that for mine.

A while back I made a label sheet for my iFixit Mako driver kit, since the labels molded into the foam are super hard to read.
Downloaded the PDF, converted to SVG using @inkscape, cut & etched out of card stock with my laser.
I got asked to make one for the Minnow and Manta kits, so I've added the SVG files here: http://evilgeniuslabs.org/ifixit

The recent flurry of sewing projects has come full circle. It started with a crossbody bag that looked like an addressable LED (https://mastodon.social/@geekmomprojects/110929578697233525)
Today I sewed a zippered tote bag (no electronics, but still cute) that looks like a standard LED. I think it's all out of my system now. Maybe.

Good morning beautiful; how are you feeling today?
It's been awhile since I reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
Keep going; you're doing great.
