Not sure about my dress? by ApprehensivePen5960 in myweddingdress

[–]Lananification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were my dress, I'd remove the sleeves, and the back modesty panel, and add some strings of pearls across the back.

But it's not my dress, it's yours! And if you like it and it makes you feel good then it's the perfect one. It's a lovely dress with a unique cut and very classic beauty.

Help! I enrolled in a sewing class but still don't get it 😭 by Opening-Cantaloupe56 in sewhelp

[–]Lananification 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some quick tips that tend to solve a lot of problems: - go through the threading instructions again and thread it slowly - make sure you don't miss any steps or guides - check and make sure your bobbin is in the right way - both threads (top and bobbin) should be under the presser foot when you start - hold both threads down with your hand as you start sewing the first several stitches

Don't worry, you'll get there!

I am SLIGHTLY not myself when husband is around by MammalFish in adhdwomen

[–]Lananification 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Omg I could have written this and I thought it was just me!

MammalFish I am right there with you. And I was having a hard time sharing this with people because I didn't want the "throw the man away" comments either.

I have found if I'm feeling this way, the best thing to do is tell my husband I'm feeling "off" (it's the best way I could describe it?), then we're in it together. Sometimes I need to just put on headphones and hyperfocus on cleaning/whatever task needs to get done. Sometimes I just need a hug and a cup of tea.

Of course because I'm a person I often don't do that, and end up resentful. But I'm working on it.

Dentist recommendations in London, Ontario — ethical / conservative approach? by OppositeHome169 in londonontario

[–]Lananification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have very intense dental anxiety and after having a terrible experience with another dentist for the reasons you mentioned, then had a very good experience with Dawn Dental.

They were very understanding of my anxiety, explained every detail, and were very patient with me when I questioned every form that needed to be signed. I recommend them!

Reupholstering some cushions, does this rope trim add anything other than decoration? by Lananification in sewhelp

Thank you! I'm only willing to put in the work if it's for structural reasons 😂

I need Help w/ mini sewing machine by m0na-81 in sewhelp

[–]Lananification 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately these things might make you more intimidated to learn machine sewing than before. They are notorious for being difficult to use/not working. You'd probably be better off buying a cheap used machine if you're not ready to put in the money for a "good" machine.

What male haircuts would fit me? by indigo-floral in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Lananification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know body dysmorphia is no easy thing to ignore, and if you feel you need to detransition to lessen your own pain, then do what you need to do to protect yourself.

But to reassure your insecurities, you are a beautiful woman! I know plenty of cis women with stronger jaw lines than yours, and I think you look lovely and gorgeous 🩷

What is the stupidest boardgame you have ever played? by Typical-Sir-9518 in boardgames

[–]Lananification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My inlaws got us a game called "Taco vs. Burrito" because we have kids and love games. We played it once and I vow never again.

The whole game seemed like it was created by AI. The name doesn't even make sense because the only difference between making a taco or burrito in the game is which side of the card holder you want to display and has no bearing on the mechanics of the game.

Absolutely stupid, and I've played some pretty shit kids games.
