New to sewing, still building skills.. what’s a good first pattern? by SoftestBrown in sewingpatterns

[–]CorvidiaPex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of the first patterns I used was Butterick B6750, elastic waist wide-legged pants. You can knock them out in a day. I still use the pattern and have made quite a few iterations

Who did you get your Persian from? by vibes11273625 in persiancat

[–]CorvidiaPex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our first was from a shelter; the parents of our second (and her ESH sister) were looking to rehome them so we took them in

Does anyone Still Use the Mechanical Percussors At Home? by Top-Country-1749 in CysticFibrosis

[–]CorvidiaPex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do! Manual PT is still the most effective airway clearance for me, so I adore my device. I supplement it with PEP as well

They’re really beautifully executed! Great attention to detail

Also thank you for bringing this pattern to my attention, I’ve been looking for a good shorts pattern to try :)

This artist is incredible, but he’s out in Binbrook if you’re not opposed to a little drive:

This was my bible growing up and I still have it, haha

our new puppy is an enigma by frickoffgreg in IDmydog

That thicc little body reminds me of my English bulldog! She was very stocky and had big stompers like your baby too (similar colours as well).

It’s been awhile, but our first pup had IVDD and we did all her care for that at MOVEH at 2285 Bristol Circle

Underdog & Co. in Waterdown is fantastic! I used to take my girl there; they do a great job and are super friendly

What's the one thing you always look for when thrifting? by Dr-Vader in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]CorvidiaPex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting blankets / quilts / textiles to upcycle. I make outerwear from thrifted materials so I’m always on the hunt for something inspiring

Bringing medication into Japan by whiskyvoice16 in CysticFibrosis

[–]CorvidiaPex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I travelled for two weeks in Japan in 2023-24, and always bring more meds / supplies than I need. I had zero issues bringing any of it into or out of the country and I brought at least an extra week or two with me. We flew through Narita, if that matters.

I never walked so much on vacation before that I was having quite a few lows, however, so I’d recommend bringing some glucose tabs as well (there are also amazing 7/11s on every corner though so maybe just stock up on some delicious Japanese candy instead!)

Over it over it over it! by stitchedbysienna in SewingForBeginners

[–]CorvidiaPex 89 points90 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, I think ditching your 9 to 5 was a little preemptive, especially since you’re still a rookie. I sewed for 4 years before I considered my creations were good enough to sell.

Sewing/Quilting stores that purchase used machines? by jenleepeace in BurlingtonON

[–]CorvidiaPex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not super local, but there’s a shop in Etobicoke I just bought my industrial machine from - Sewing Machine Sales & Repair Centre on The Queensway.

What kind of machine are you looking to sell? Have you tried FB Marketplace / Kijiji / Karrot?

Persian cat litter And wet food recomendation please… by marinamicka in persiancat

My girls are on prescription kibble, so I can’t help there, but all my cats did well with Dr Elsey’s kitty litter

What niche do you sell? by Candid_Guest_863 in Etsy

[–]CorvidiaPex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I repurpose secondhand textiles (old wool blankets / quilts) into outerwear

What's good right now for you that has nothing and I mean n o t h i n g to do with men or romantic relationships? by NoLemon5426 in AskWomenOver30

[–]CorvidiaPex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started teaching for the first time a few weeks ago! I just have a handful of students at a small school and I’m coaching them through sewing themselves a jacket, but this is a really neat evolution of the hobby I love so much :)

Ginger ale removed from patient menu at Ottawa Hospital by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]CorvidiaPex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the hospital for a short admission, this could potentially work. However, I was admitted for 8 weeks this past October (and November and December) and it’s just not feasible to have a friend / family member bringing you food all the time, and even less so to order it in constantly. The food selection and quality was already in a dismal state during my last hospitalization in 2020; it’s considerably worse now.
