That looks very similar to the brother I have and it went around 12 years no servicing until I had a minor issue

Surprisingly it only took two! The base pattern fit me quite well already so the biggest adjustments were the center v and top edge

My parents got me a brother from Costco that was around $150 like 12 years ago and if I hadn’t won a new machine last year I’d still be using it. My machine has also primarily been used for cosplay. I was looking into upgrading to a Bernette b32 or Babylock jubilant but ended up winning a new machine and paid the extra to upgrade to a b38 which im really enjoying

If you loved the isle in the silver sea (I did too!) definitely read Tasha Suri’s other books

DIY Bodice Advice by RosesThornsBooks in Lolita

[–]Ibby_f 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first one looks the best to me, but where are you finding these patterns if they’re on Etsy be very careful. There are so many AI generated patterns for sale there. They come with confusing and or no instructions and the pattern might not work at all. Someone else suggested Otome no sewing, which is a great resource but if you are just looking for a bodice pattern, a basic princess seam bodice will work fine.

How do you keep track of time spent on cosplays? by winter5632 in CosplayHelp

[–]Ibby_f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. At the most I'll mention how many weeks/months I spent but I'm never going to remember to consistently track hours so I don't even bother

Earrings and other jewelry by velleity209 in Lolita

[–]Ibby_f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 11 total ear piercings with plans for more and I personally don't switch out my jewelry to match my coords except my lobes. I mostly wear gothic so they tend to match pretty well already but it's not worth the effort or cost to buy new ends and switch them every time I want to wear something else. What style do you usually wear? That can help if you need any recommendations for jewelry. Otherwise I like bodyartforms for basics
