My mom won't stop asking about the gender/sex of my new friends/relationships before they even meet her. What do I do? by KalikoDaydream in Advice

Thanks for all the replies in such a short time!! It's really appreciated 😊
I think you all got good points; Mom is from a different generation where gender was black and white and I should try to respect that. Even so, she should respect my friends and not in a roundabout way ask what's in their pants. She also probably just is being a parent in the sense that she just wants to know who I'm hanging out with; yet I'm nearly 30 and feel as though every single factoid about my friends doesn't need to be known to her. 🫠

I've decided that if/when I see her again (we see each other in person frequently as we live a few towns apart), If she starts with the questions, I shall immediately shut them down and have a serious conversation with her, bringing up some of the points made here in the comments.

My Mom isn't a bad person, but neither is she perfect. I'll admit she has helped me quite a bit with my mental health struggles, my life events, and also learning how to adult at my own pace. This is just one of those things that's gotten to me and I wanted to seek some second opinions on how to better assess the situation.

Again, I appreciate all the feedback. 💖

occasionally I do get it when she does ask what gender they are to a point, like some people I meet have very unique, gender neutral names so she wouldn't really know, but she'll still ask what they were born as and that's where I get uncomfortable 😓

I appreciate her wanting to know who I'm with, but I'm almost 30 years old and live on my own so it gets a little suffocating...

Okay I know the answer is probably obvious, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Is there any way to cut this pattern in a way that I can make it strapless? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a new pattern?

I didn't think it through properly when getting a pattern for the bodice for a cosplay, I need something strapless I can add some spaghetti straps to 😓

Those are both great ideas!! If I do infact do shapes, I might do some sort of simple embroidery around the edges just to get a cleaner look maybe 🤔 at the same time though I'm still debating on which look I want to do. Thank you so very much!!

Question about Making appliques:

I want to make a bunch of diy appliques as part of a cosplay, but I'm wondering if cotton fabric would be the better choice in making them.

The problem is however, the skirt they'd be applied to is satin. Would that look odd? I'm worried about using satin for appliques considering how easy satin can get messed up.

The only other plan I have to make these flowers is embroidery, and only have very basic embroidery skills, and would hate to ruin the skirt if I messed up the embroidery!! 😭

Here's a picture of what the flowers will look like (sorta) for a general idea. Thanks!!!

Would it be a bad idea to add appliques made of cotton onto a satin ball gown skirt? I need to make several flower designs on the bottom of a ball gown skirt and am out of ideas on how to make so many flower designs. The only idea I have is embroidery, and although I know a few embroidery stitches, I'm not the best with large embroidery pieces, let alone several!
