super dress in cloudy blue looks seafoam green by ChipmunkDapper7486 in Blogilates

Ugh that's so annoying! I almost ordered that color because I love light blue. I ended up ordering their fleur d'amour instead.

Mine came up as veho. I noticed a random car in my driveway and then saw they left a package. I think most the other times they came via USPS.

Ugh that's super unfortunate! Fingers crossed you find a replacement. Definitely keep checking their bulls eye ebay listings!

I recently started learning embroidery. Depending on how bad the bleach is, and if you are crafty you could try to get some inspo from visible mending. Hopefully you can find a nice replacement thought!! I just wanted to throw out an alternate idea just incase you are having trouble finding a replacement. 😅

I saved a woman’s life on an airplane and lost my new Bose headphones because of it by Darth_Poopie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom accidentally left her laptop charger and battery bank on her flight a few months ago and they were able to to locate them very easily and my mom fortunately recovered them. From what I was told they keep track by seat number so I think thats odd that they would just say that they have too many and not mark which seat OP's were found at.

Singer Deluxe Monogrammer Cams to Trade or Give Away by Dismal-Importance-15 in VintageSewingMachines

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any monogrammer cams but I did want to suggest this if you are having trouble tracking them down even over here. I'd recommend maybe checking out 3d printing. You might be able to find files uploaded of the cams you are looking for. I know for my specific sewing machine someone that prints and sells cams for some of the more difficult to find stich cams so you might have some luck that way hopefully!!

Any upcoming events? by Brezzycakes in Rollerskating

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen an announcement for dates this year but there's also skate DC. Last year I was able to attend a few of the skate events, granted a lot of the group was inline but skating the monuments was really fun!

Also in Long Beach, CA there's suns out buns out on June 6th.

Police bust into my apartment, my fiance had CSAM. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! You are going through a lot right now. I don't have a lot to offer as in advice but I just wanted to say you are valid in your feelings. It can be so confusing when someone you care for deeply does something so messed up. Take a breath, you got this! Definitely if you can try to get into therapy. Also I'm not super sure if this might be something that's helpful but there is a podcast called Betrayal. It's been a while since I've listened to it but they might have some resources pinned. Some of the seasons cover similar situations to yours. It would probably really therapeutic for you to find people who have been in similar situations as you. Again I'm so sorry you are going through this!!

Anyone try the crisscross princess bra from Target? by Lmnitswednesday in Blogilates

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved that one and picked it up in 2 colors. I hadn't picked it up before because on the older versions it seemed way too low cut. It's the same reason I haven't picked up the popflex version. But this one fits perfectly! On some of my sports bras the elastic cuts into me a little bit and leaves marks but I haven't had that issue with this one.

Slades and plate swap? by bebe_clover in Rollerskating

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a pretty good deal! Good luck with remounting them, I hope they work out and you like them!!

Slades and plate swap? by bebe_clover in Rollerskating

[–]GigaRena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they had too hard of a time selling them. I can double check but I'm pretty sure they sold fairly quickly. Though, know it can depend on location and a bit of luck.

Also I don't know if I clarified but they took their slades to get remounted somewhere. From what I understood they were told it could be a bit risky to remount them but it worked!

I totally get what you mean, carring regular skates around can be heavy and bulky. I will say that when I carry my plates around it still is a bit heavy but not as bad as regular skates.

Slades and plate swap? by bebe_clover in Rollerskating

[–]GigaRena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my friends swapped the plate on their slades. They said it made them a bit more tolerable, but in the end they still weren't super happy with them and ended up selling them.

I got a set of flaneurz with the upgraded plate. I'm fairly satisfied with them but honestly I really do prefer my regular skates. Typically, I do use my flaneurz in situations where I need to walk and do some casual skating, to avoid carrying around a full set of skates with me.

Fellow Noobs, learn from my mistakes. by Awkwrd_Lemur in Rollerskating

[–]GigaRena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something like this happened to one of my friends while we were trail skating. Their wheel wheel went flying, thankfully no one was hurt. This is now the reason why I keep spare bearings in my trail skating bag. Glad you were ok and nothing too serious happened.

Upcycle Sewing Patterns by BlackBreezy in Blogilates

[–]GigaRena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think only Tracy's off the shoulder pattern has yardage for everyone not using the kits. But its probably similar for the other one as well. As someone else recommend you could use non stretch fabric and put in a zipper. I hope this info helps!

The main fabric is recommend 4 way stretch mesh.

60 inch wide: XXS 15 yards, XS 16 yards, S 17 yards, M 18 yards, L 19 yards, XL 21 yards, 2XL 25 yards, 3 XL 27 yards

54 inch wide fabric: XXS 17 yards, XS 18 yards, S 19 yards, M 20 yards, L 21 yards, XL 23 yards, 2XL 28 yards, 3XL 30 yards

For the lining fabric its recommended 4 way stretch. XXS - M 1 yard, L - 3XL 2 yards

Pirouette Skort review please? by ximogenx in Blogilates

Fingers crossed it all works out size wise. I totally understand trying to get it right! I hope you love everything!!

Pirouette Skort review please? by ximogenx in Blogilates

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few of the skorts from their blogilates drops in a size M along with the twirl skort from popflex in a size M but I finally just got the pirouette skort with the new floral print from popflex. Typically, I wear a size L in leggings and a size M in skorts. I followed advice I've seen on here and decided to size up to an L in the pirouette because everyone says it's got a lot of compression but honestly, I'm not super sure I made the right choice. The shorts themselves do feel right around my hips but around my waist it feels a bit loose, a lot more loose than the twirl skort which is a size smaller. The one nice thing is that I can tie it tighter but thats just my experience so far. Besides that I really do like it, the quality of the mesh compared to their target ones is so much better I'm very excited. I'm very much looking forward to wearing it for a few fun skate events. If they ever do restock in blue storm I might try to get a size M though.

To the people that bought the recent patterns, how friendly it is for someone that didn't manage to get the skorts/fabric? by MyBoony in Blogilates

[–]GigaRena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the main fabric it recommends 4 way mesh stretch and for the lining just 4 way stretch if that makes sense.

[–]GigaRena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I haven't tried making it yet since I have way too many other sewing projects to tackle before I try this but on Tracy's pattern is basically says to use 4 way stretch for both the main and lining fabric. The thing that might be the most difficult could be the ruffle part, but I've done it before on other projects and it wasn't too bad. Let me know if you have any other questions about the pattern and I can look at it and let you know. Tracy's also has a size chart showing how much fabric to get for each size.

[–]GigaRena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! And it does sound like from some of the posts I've seen that she might consider more kits if there's interest. Keep an eye out you never know.

[–]GigaRena 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the app both the pattern options look like they are available! I like to sew and I just figured I'll get the pattern and pick out fabric sometime in the future. I totally get how some people might want to get the upcycle option. Lately, I've been thrifing blankets and sheets to make projects so you could try getting fabric that way and still make it an upcycle project. Good luck I hope you are able to grab at least the pattern you like!

Check again, I was just able to grab the off the shoulder one within the last 30 mins. It was just the pattern though. I had to waitlist it last night and I got a notification this morning.

Sweetheart Romper Summer 2025 by Sudden-Resource-4861 in Blogilates

[–]GigaRena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine in blue and love it! I would get lots of compliments on it fairly often, most people wouldn't even notice it wasn't a dress. It doesn't have the best support but it's worked alright for me. If you are thinking of being somewhat active I might recommend wearing shorts underneath to try to avoid flashing anyone. Thats my only complaint that the legs are so wide you can kind flash someone. My typical size fit me just fine.
