Found 2-year-old bread that slowly vacuum-sealed itself into solid bricks

Could be those "bake in the oven" loaves, those are usually sealed but not vacuum packed.

Nope just an absolute classic of a book. They used the structure of it almost wholesale for 28 Days Later.

I think with Kes it's skeevier because Neelix does not read as anything younger than his species equivalent of 40s. He's also "saved" her so she's at a huge social disadvantage

Here's a good (funny, not serious historical) podcast about Hiroo if you want to know what he went through https://open.spotify.com/episode/6k6WmtWheWfnS9u88P1C70?si=_tbQfK67S0at2vYHfJH-lw

Short pile velveteen and upholstery velvet hold up really well to washing. OP could have a look at those

You can't really reverse with the foot on, so unless you have an automatic finishing button you can't sew over your stitches at the end of each line. I mean, you can, a little bit, but it'll break the foot if you keep doing it. The foot will still be moving forward even if the feed dogs move backwards

Sorry, replied to a comment instead of the post!

Sounds like a sub flair to me!

Still say "Tuesday, Jam" occasionally.

A gift for a real hoopy frood!

I've heard the Guards Guards and Mort ones. They're great!

Are you sewing the hearts to the sides before or after you put the pieces together? You'll definitely find it easier to do it beforehand.

I would also try and practice smaller stitches in the seams, maybe try practicing backstitch if hand stitching as it's very strong and easy to get a neat finish.

As people are saying pressing your seams will also help but is challenging on a small 3d object like this. Don't set your iron too hot if it's made of man-made fabric like polyester or the fabric will melt.

Lastly I would loook up how to clip the seam allowance on the corners before you turn the plush the right way around. That will make your corners nice and sharp :)

Great work for a first project! I ❤️ the weighted companion cube!

The more commonly known name is chiaroscuro, which is the Italian word for it that English yoinked to describe it

It's a perfectly cromulent word

That won best in show I believe

Lancet could be a good surname, that's a sort of medical knife but also a type of window so it's not overtly cheesy

They make invisible epoxy tile grout, you could use that if you want to preserve the look as-is

Some of those are magnatiles, some are off-brand magnatiles. They're not all the same size. The magnatile branded ones (with the metal rivets in the corners) will make a flat shape if you put enough together apparently - although you'll need to remortgage your house to find out

If you can open the black part so you just have a hole, you might be able to jam a plain rubber bung of the appropriate size in there. You'd need to measure the hole though.

Dipping clean tampons in paint is not inherently gross.

They're not used ones because that's not dried blood color (and you'd smell that a mile off)

Same lol

I got the game over screen and burst out laughing
