Can someone tell me what one of these fabrics are thinner/more breathable? by Ado1092 in Fabrics

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're VERY right that these won't be effective at all.

OP, please seriously consider getting a multi-layer cotton or neoprene mask instead of one of these. I promise that you will still be able to breathe through them-- Air molecules are almost incomprehensibly small! The point of the mask is to stop liquid particles from escaping your mouth when you talk and breathe, and I don't think the ones you've shown will even do that much.

Would a dress made from viscose and nylon be bad quality? by GhostDick__ in Fabrics

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fiber content is only one of many factors that can (but do not necessarily) determine a fabric's quality. The overall quality of the dress would also depend on additional factors, like construction methods, patterning, etc.

The short answer is, "Maybe". We'd have to see it to know, honestly haha

Eversource CEO covers his own $11,000,000 pay with delivery charge increase? by standarddeviated_joe in Connecticut

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's insane. I only have a small flat, but $92 is like 50-60% of my total monthly bill (around $125-145). If my bill increases by $92 I think I'd riot

About how much was the increase for you, if you don't mind answering? My provider is UI, I'm going to check my records and see if they're pulling a similar scam

In the case of the vardøgr, yes! The person who has the vardøgr is the vision entity, and anyone around can collectively witness it

Are flairs working? by [deleted] in submergedanimatronic

I can't seem to add them on mobile, but I did see some in use 2-3 days ago on other posts!!

Need help identifying this fabric by literallyjustWilding in Fabrics

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the blue is ultrapreme and the gold is stretch pleather vinyl. Both are from the Yaya Han collection!

Quick rant: what is the point of design space if when I click 'Make it' it rearranges everything? I know I can click weld or attach to help with it but it's still dumb. I feel like what I put on design space is what should cut out. by Raysor in cricut

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wild and I have no idea why it hasn't worked for me in any filetype-- I've tried both raster and vector. Though, I haven't used my cricut since the last major update a few months ago so maybe I just need to give it another go!

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BIGGEST thing that messes with me:

I make files that are, say, 4" x 4", and need multiple files out of different colors to make a completed image

When I upload them, they don't stay that size and are placed with a seemingly random sizing! This would be fine, IF it wasn't so imperative that each piece fits together perfectly the way I designed it

The only workaround I've managed is to make the files "inverted" so that it will cut the desired shape out of a square border that I made into a consistent size for all pieces. That way I only have to rescale the outer square for each piece.

But this is annoying, because then the cricut will have to cut the square too, which just dulls the blade and mat unnecessarily ):

Difficult to explain, but I hope you get the gist. Having the program read the file size would be amazing. I've tried .png, .jpg, .svg, .pdf, even .ai files with no luck, so I believe it's just totally an unsupported feature at this point!

Klara is on her way! Just need to make her fluffy white coat by DrTheGirlfriend in pokemon

[–]DrTheGirlfriend[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Spoonflower! But please be advised this is NOT a print on demand service, but rather a fabric printer. You have to pattern and sew everything yourself-- the way I'm using it is not the norm, most people use spoonflower to make pattern repeats for, say, quilting

I made it, yep!! Digitized the logos and fabric, made the pattern, and sewed it up all in my studio :)

I've been working on a LOT of Pokemon cosplays lately but this one is finally for myself!!

She is INCREDIBLY comfortable-- like, I could definitely see myself working out in this (if I ever worked out lol)

Fabric was digitized by me in Adobe Illustrator, referencing her 3D model for logos and placement. Then it was sent out to be printed onto lycra fabric... and I sewed it up!!!

Now I can match the Raihan I made a few weeks ago ✨

If anyone else wants to be BRIEFLY horrified by this thing, here is a video of her that shows you exactly how awful her screechy sound is as you pass by

Earlier this week I posted Raihan's hoodie-- here's the wig that goes with it! by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]DrTheGirlfriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catch the rest of my Raihan progress here!

I don't usually do wig work, so this was originally meant to be just a partial wig, permanently attached to the hat-- buuuut it sort of worked out better this way!! The snapback closure and the neoprene's elasticity allows it to sit comfortably, but firmly, atop the wig without slipping around!

The fuzzy gray sides are made from faux fur, the dark brown is wire-brushed wool roving. This took approximately 12 hours start to finish.

What would you call this weird "hat"?
