My guide on making tidy seams using tipped or patterned faux furs is now up on etsy this month as well! This guide teaches you how to treat the seam allowance when sewing tipped furs or fur fabrics that easily show a visible seam line. It explains what's happening and why its happening, with solutions to correct it before and after sewing!

Matrices.net was unexpectedly down for a little while, this issue has now been corrected! Everyone should be able to access the site again. Thanks for your patience!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm pleased to share that over the past year or so I've been learning Unity and a bit of Blender and have published my first world for VRChat. A small world for some of my avatar edits on avatars I've purchased. With furniture pieces I made in blender! I hope to make my own avatar shapes someday as a goal! Enjoy!

Here is a tribute I wrote and illustrated about my doggy Turbo, who we recently lost at the beginning of this month.

I spent some time updating all of the platforms in which I sell my sewing patterns and premium tutorials! This includes
my gumroad https://matrices.gumroad.com/
and my etsy shop https://matrices.etsy.com/
and my patreon shop https://www.patreon.com/Matrices/shop
the listings all got a fresh preview image, a unified look to them all so people could recognize my work if they are purchasing more than one in the collection, and I included the green bg from my website with the product crop in the middle. I may adjust this again in the future, but testing it out for now.

Great big update for my VRChat world!
I now have a totally new area to explore, just wander into the forest! There you will find a Gravity House, which is a tourist trap style optical illusion (that works in VR!). I'm obsessed with these irl so I finally got my model of one I made into VRC.
(Align camera with the floor for the best effect)
Other stuff I updated in the world includes: New treeline sky I illustrated! Light Volume support on PC! The world props will light up more accurately, & if you have a compatible shader it will light your avatar too! I also added a few new pickups. Updated stuff to the newest versions (video player, camera) too!
