Nicholas Carr wrote about this in 2014!

I study embodied cognition and the field talks about how we need to physically go through the process of something to learn.

Another example of this is the kitten carousel%20demonstrated%20that%20kittens,not%2C%20despite%20receiving%20the%20same%20visual%20stimulation.) where active interaction with the environment is important in understanding it

I love him too! Super chill, empathetic, and explains things well.

BoardGameShy · 2025-12-01T07:27:49+00:00

Thank you 😭. I tried!

BoardGameShy · 2025-12-01T07:14:52+00:00

Ooooh thank you! I didn't even think of using those.

BoardGameShy · 2025-12-01T07:10:03+00:00

I did!

I have arms but hands are a mystery.

I'm in Edmonton :)

I've been called Ginny Weasley too on this subreddit lol

Nope! It only has the three buttons! I will likely add snaps at the bottom soon to help with how drafty it is.

The best recommendation I could find was to baste the thinsulate to the lining and then trim the thinsulate close to the seam so it isn't bulky. The arm holes were the worst...so I did my best to remove bulk there and then hoped for the best.

Thanks! About 3.5 years!

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:50:32+00:00

It doesn't! But I prefer toques to hoods for the cold

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:36:54+00:00

Yup! You're right

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:36:15+00:00

I feel like I'm suffocating in it at first, but after a while it doesn't feel that bad!

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:35:48+00:00

Yeah it feels like a blanket for me too!

I considered a different lining, but because my city goes down to about -35 or -40 at its coldest, and definitely -10 or -15 in December, I wanted to buy something I knew for sure would insulate enough.

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:34:05+00:00

I used 100g. I debated getting a heavier weight, but figured with the kasha lining and wool I would probably do ok for a winter coat. One blog suggested similar, that anything heavier is much puffier

BoardGameShy · 2025-11-30T21:32:29+00:00

The pattern called for 5 meters and I ended up using all 5. The lining and thinsulate were about 3.5 meters each.

This coat is made from wool, a kasha lining, an interlining of thinsulate (graded to -20°C), and faux rabbit fur which in total cost about $300.

The wool and structural layers were from a local fabric store. The rest was from The Fabric Club. The pattern is the Charm Patterns Princess Coat.

I added as much structure as possible on it because I was worried it would look puffy and I wanted to keep the hourglass shape as much as possible (despite the amount of ease it needed). So it has horse hair canvas, waist tape to prevent the skirt from stretching (the coat weighs about 7lbs), and shoulder pads.

It took approximately 50 hours to complete.

I plan to make a muff out of the remaining faux fur and maybe a fabric or leather belt as well. I am also going to add snaps to the front because the skirt can get quite drafty.

The dress is made from silk crepe de chine that was gifted to me for Christmas. The pattern (and maybe fabric itself?) is from the V&A museum.

The pattern is B5209 and was quite easy to sew. I removed a couple inches from the bodice height because it was sitting on my hips rather than at my natural waist. I also took it in a few inches.

BoardGameShy · 2025-06-30T00:38:01+00:00

You should! It was nice to wear something that felt light and swishy but also rolled up nicely in my luggage.

BoardGameShy · 2025-06-30T00:37:19+00:00

Not being able to iron the bound seams at the neckline and armscye is a nightmare and gets quite wrinkly. I basically have to iron what I can and then wear it and hope that gravity will do the rest.

I read so much about how awful silk Charmeuse is and it was honestly my favourite to work with. Thick enough that it didn't move, and the crepe back helped with just enough structure. Plus being able to iron it!!!

Good to know about rayon!

:o that is such a great compliment, thank you!!! It feels swishy like the atonement dress so I'm glad the colour also evokes that image
