Puzzle Description:

Seamstress

#1: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 4, 2023 [HINT]

After LL/CL leaves only black,

Internal edge logic on the 15 in r21:
The row above has three more pixels to be placed, and the row below only one more (so a total of four). However, the crossing clues of the last five columns are all more than 1. So if the 15 were to go all the way right, it would create a conflict in one of those columns. Therefore r21c45 must be white

LL to finish

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

I solved it a different way: instead of IEL on the 15 I used edge logic on the 6 in c45. The one remaining 3 in c44 got me enough dots and black squares to finish with line and color logic.

and as always a great pun!

(although as one myself I should point out there is a growing trend of people who call themselves "sewist" instead - a combo of sewer and artist. I myself usually avoid any nouns and just say "I make clothes"!)

Another great one! Thanks!

garmentier? :) (gar-MEN-tee-AY)

Lizzy got it in 4 -- it's a sewer

yea, i was being silly ;)

Modiste sounds much better than sewist and I've heard it applied to both men and women. Couldn't someone more creative than me take the term "Fabric Craftsman" and turn into something meaningful and clever?

fabricator?

Loved this! Thank you, Joe. It seems strange to me that we could pass on the street, not knowing one another...and yet here you are, helping my day to start out on such a bright note! I am very grateful...lol, I feel so ready to tackle whatever is thrown in my path now!

Why not, David? Clothesenator, Materialist, lol.

Good ones Koreen! :D
...perhaps...
Patternaut?
Needleer?
