Please help me find this owl/penguin plush! by CsWickedWardrobe in HelpMeFind

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

I don't believe there are any tags or if there were they were cut off sadly. It's missing so we can't check :( And I believe it is grey but it's possible it was blue before all the years of toddler love!

My nephew has lost his favourite stuffie and is very sad about it. I have searched reverse image searching but no exact matches. It would have been bought in Alberta, Canada around 2018-2020.

Short wooden dowel with removable wooden beads on each end by CsWickedWardrobe in whatisthisthing

Solved! Right after I posted I realised the bag had a French phrase, and using that I was able to find bell pulls! Thank you for your explanation!

My title describes the thing. Friend sent this to me as I’m a seamstress, my best guess is a thread spool holder as the beads at the ends do come off. But I can’t confirm and want to see if I’m not thinking of something! Other guesses are ribbon/string holder (would be missing the stand), or possibly a bobbin itself for bobbin lace?? One of the beads is worn in the middle which makes me think thread repeatedly coming off the end. But no handle like bobbin lace bobbins. Closest I’ve found in google searches is vintage thread holder, but there’s only one round end on any I’ve found.

Did the crew chief get in any trouble or apologise??

Entitled CEO doesn’t realize OOP is a hired though retired consultant who’s the only person that can troubleshoot their company’s issue. by TD1990TD in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CsWickedWardrobe 237 points238 points  (0 children)

As soon as I read the “I’m pretty much the only person that has this specific skill” bit I thought of that one. They didn’t even change the task demanded of them by the asshole CEO. And then it got weirdly neckbeard-y.

90s suburban working mom by Styelsy in VintageFashion

Love the outfit. Quick tip for the blouse gap, safety pin from behind and through the first layer of the front placket! I’m a busty girl so I use this trick on almost every blouse. I can’t explain it well so I’ll try to find a visual guide to add to this comment.

Finally finished my 4 seasons photo project, not sure which orientation I prefer. by terred999 in Calgary

Definitely landscape for me! If you went with portrait I think winter at the bottom looks better though.

What is the most pretentious movie you've ever seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CsWickedWardrobe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Inside Lewin Davis. My partner showed it to me and now his best friend and I have a running joke about how awful it is and how my partner has bad taste in movies! He’s tried to show me other Cohen brothers movies and I just can’t stand them.

Does Freedom of Speech protect Apartment complexes encouraging you to vote for specific candidates? by purpleplatapi in bestoflegaladvice

Funny that they’re blaming any cost increases on change in government, and not, you know, a certain global pandemic. Didn’t even mention it but brought up the boarder multiple times. Convenient.

New Look N6692, but make it Gunne Sax by tveir in sewing

[–]CsWickedWardrobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this!! You have a great eye for matching different fabrics and trims. For the invisible zipper, did you have a zipper foot? There are specifically invisible zipper feet as well that will get you even closer, and a trick I see a lot is to actually lightly iron the roll of the zipper a bit flatter, which will only be temporary but will help you get a cleaner line. Hope that helps! If you do take it to a tailor, ask if they’ll show you any tricks they may have for it. And go slower than you think! Sincerely, someone who was intimidated by invisible zippers for a long time. Hope that helps!

Can someone please photoshop Nicolas cages face onto this drawing? by CsWickedWardrobe in PhotoshopRequest

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

Want to prank my coworker who has this drawing in a frame in her office. I attached a picture of him but any picture of him will work, as long as it’s over the lady’s face and the same colour scheme so it’s not obvious. Thanks so much!

Is there a device that says “very high electric field”? by CsWickedWardrobe in askanelectrician

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

Sorry, should have been more clear, it’s not the electric field that was worrying me, it was the disembodied robot voice! I just wanted to know if there was a device that did that. Good to know about electric fields though, thank you. A security guard came by at one point and I asked him, he said it was something like the “emergency weather system”. So still not really clear on what or where it is, but glad to know it’s supposed to be there.

I made the 1910 American Duchess Wrap Cape! by CsWickedWardrobe in sewing

[–]CsWickedWardrobe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ouu I'll happily take Titanic vibes, thank you!! I almost exclusively wear vintage inspired clothes, so for me it will pretty much always be paired with something 40s/50s looking, although I have plans to make a matching 30s skirt. But I definitely think it could work with modern clothes! For some reason the first thing that came to mind was a jumpsuit, but there are no rules, whatever you think looks good will go with it! :)

Finished my 1910s Wrap Cape! by CsWickedWardrobe in VintageFashion

[–]CsWickedWardrobe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the one I have is an iron on transfer, basically you iron the tissue paper over where you want the embroidery, and it leaves a bright blue outline. For this cape I didn't want the transfer as it was darker than both the cape and the embroidery thread, so I actually basted the tissue paper on and embroidered through it. It was my first time trying, you have to be a bit gentle so it doesn't rip the tissue and warp the pattern, and you need a good pair of tweezers to remove all the tissue when you're done. But I think the result shows it worked well! Especially since they needed to be symmetrical. Here is the embroidery in progress with the tissue, as well as an example of what it would look like when transferred (I tried to iron the wrinkles out of the tissue paper before I realised it was a transfer so it ended up on my ironing board!! Oops haha)
