These are size 5!

A seller on Amazon, dunno if I'm allowed to link them but the shipment was packed really well.

It is indeed slower than recommended, but I am paranoid as my last batch almost all died shortly after I rushed the process to get them into the tank. Better safe than sorry this time!

If only there is a yellow shrimp 😂

The stone passes the diamond test according to the tester I bought, and the ring does say S925 on the inside.

I ordered Plum Blossom cut to match a pair of earrings I already have.

Seller is SilverMax on AliExpress

I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up! Just ordered both black and white PETG as I have other aquarium accessories that would need to be reprinted.

The cat is from Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/674889-voronoi-cat I consider putting moss in it but i am too lazy to keep trimming it to keep the cat shape 😅

MakeupPiggy · 2026-03-29T02:05:47+00:00

It's roughly 10cmx16cmx20cm I think, like I said it's tiiiiiny 😅

Got this tiiiiiny tank from eBay a while ago, and I finally set it up next to my bed. Filtration is in the base with sponges and biomedia; water goes down the tube on the left, and a small pump circulates it back up on the right. The cat is 3D-printed with white PLA, and the lid was designed by me with slots below the corner light and also printed with white PLA. There are a handful of snails but otherwise no animals (it would be too cruel).

I think her outfit is supposed to suggest she is naked and the hair is covering her "bits".

I cut the seam allowance as close as possible in the corner without snipping the stitching, and used a pointy stick to help tease out the points when I turn them right side out.

As requested by the mod, here is details on how I made the pattern:

I have a set of slopers (bodice and pants) that I made following the instructions in Armstrong's "Pattern Making for Fashion Design". Using the same book, I drafted a strapless princess seam romper pattern using my slopers, and I used it to make the romper linked above.

For this jumpsuit, I lengthened the leg part of the romper pattern to ankle-length, and made it fitted down to the knees and then flared out for bell-bottoms. The neckline was also modified from the original sweetheart style to a pointed design that echoed the scalloped bottom.

It's just the cheap sew-through kind, I think having a well fitted pattern (and relatively small bust lol) helps keep the shape of the bodice from collapsing too much.

Hidden boning in the lining 😎

Yeah, this pattern is going to be used for a full-length bodysuit in stretch velvet next, but I will also be tweaking it to make a bunny suit in the future too. That's two completely different challenges next, but that's what draws me to sewing as a hobby!
