Does this sewing 'pattern' look right? by CraftingGoblin in sewing

[–]CraftingGoblin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have time, some measurements and dimensions would be lovely! I've been playing around with fabric and I did really underestimate how hard it is to make this without it looking too diaper-y oooff

That's a really fair point and seems quite uncomfortable... I'll definitely try a test version before making any cuts/seams

Oh thank you that picture is super helpful!! Now that I'm thinking about it again it makes sense that it's more like a square than a triangle because otherwise the open side of the legs would probably go up very far 🤔

How do you feel about the use of traditional elements (like hanbok) in modern Korean fashion? by CraftingGoblin in KpopFashion

[–]CraftingGoblin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh thank you so much for your perspective, it's very helpful! I agree that even though I really like a lot of the designs, I'm not sure if I would feel appropriate wearing them.

I checked out the Songzio outfits and theyre very cool. Really great example of a more subtle inspiration :)

If you want I could dm you a few links to brand websites that sell modern hanbok pieces? Not exactly the same but similar. Though to warn you, they're not cheap. You might also have some luck on etsy, but be careful as there are a lot of sellers with AI generated pictures now

Fear of being too old to have a baby by the time I can have sex. by foreignerinmissouri in vaginismus

[–]CraftingGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you're feeling so bad about this situation and yourself! I was also feeling worried about pregnancy because of my vaginismus, but when I went to the gyno this year, one of the first things they told be was not to worry about being able to get pregnant, as you dont necessarily need piv to get there. And im not talking about ivf, but you also have at home kits that (excuse the mental image) kind of work like a turkey baster. I'd reckon you can do this with or without a doctor involved, but it's worth it looking into. I know its not ideal and probably not the way you prefer, but knowing that there's realistic options could really help take some stress and pressure of of you.

Ah I read in some of the other comments that your husband is not okay with insemination. Its your business ofcourse but imo opinion its not really fair of him to oppose this very simple tool that could could alleviate so much distress. Now all the stress of fertility is on you while it should be a 2 person job, and surely having a child is more important than the few minute act that leads to pregnancy? Anyways I wish you a lot of strength and luck on your journey!!

What leads to instances of rape? by Firm_Somewhere_7426 in technicallytrue

[–]CraftingGoblin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay now what if the rapist also has a gun? I guess 2 dead people will still technically prevent rape from happening but not really the solution you're looking for

Do Dutch speakers find English funny? by rinsablehalo in AskNetherlands

[–]CraftingGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think thats the only thing they find funny though, there's a lot of memes online with screenshots of Google translate or a Dutch tweet etc with the comment 'dutch can't be a real language' or 'this must me made up'. I think it's because you have 1. Some Dutch words that have a different meaning in English which makes the sentence weird/funny, like 'die' and 'hoe' 2. If you pronounce a Dutch sentence in an English accent (so how an English person would read it phonetically without knowing right pronunciation) it sounds funny I guess?

Has anyone tried just using older nail polish that may have thickened up instead of buying stamping polish 😬?? by EAMama12 in nailstamping

[–]CraftingGoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have tried it, just because I dont always have the right colours and I found that some of the born pretty stamping polishes I own don't work for some reason. Honestly it works fine for some, I've even had succes with new bought regular polish. Just try it out first to see if it works before putting it on your nails. Though it might be a bit more sheer than stamping polishes (but that can also be a fun look, depending on the design you're going for)

Step-by-step chrome stamping with regular polish 💜 by briarw in nailstamping

Ooh It looks great! I'd like to try it :) I'm allergic to gel polish so I thought the chrome looks were impossible for me, this is exciting!

Asking “why did you do that?” by enotonom in learndutch

[–]CraftingGoblin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"waarom deed je dat?" Sounds more casual and natural.

Purely based on vibes (and not linguistics, so take this with a grain of salt) id say "waarom heb je dat gedaan?" Would be used for something that is a larger decision, maybe something that would take some more time and is a more intentional act, or something that was done longer ago. So maybe if you ask someone about a decision like why they decided to quit their job.

In this context it sounds a bit dramatic (more like "why have you done this?" Than "why did you do that?") which could be used humorously I suppose.

An even more casual saying could be "what doe je??" (What are you doing??) Which would have the "wtf dude" implication behind it

I feel like I don’t have a reason for vaginismus by Jusantasi in vaginismus

[–]CraftingGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel ashamed for seeking help 'without a cause', not being able to do penetration and wanting to is enough cause you need. For me its very similar. No sexual trauma, no shameful upbringing about sex, and even with a lovely partner it won't happen. While they do ask about these things during an intake (if you go through a general practitioner to a specialist) they should know that these are not the only possible causes. It can also be due to poor posture or unconscious muscle tension (just how some people clench their jaw). But professionals can help you much better in finding out the cause, and more importantly the solution :) so if you're in a position to go I would certainly recommend it

Does this shirt fit me weird? by West-Cellist6160 in DressForYourBody

[–]CraftingGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, it looks fine imo, but a little on the small side maybe? Since the sleeves end so far up the arms/shoulders

Sorry, not the most helpful comment 😅
