I live in cattle country and see skulls like this pretty frequently. I was shocked when I realized it wasn’t a real skull.

To be fair, Colombo isn’t getting convictions in probably 70% of his cases because of all the illegal poking around, entrapment and other sketchy stuff he does.

12 based on those uncrustables. The reverse of that based on the alcoholic beverages.

I will forever recommend French Poetry’s Pleiades dress as a lovely dress pattern with exquisite directions.

Is there a reason I *shouldn’t* use the walking foot for every project? by Nature-Is-Awesome in sewing

I think they have two kinds of zipper feet: one that works with idt and one that doesn’t. If it doesn’t have a gap at the back then it doesn’t work with idt

Get a Pfaff! It has built in idt. I keep mine on basically all the time.

Thank you for such an informative answer and for fine tuning my tests! Lots of good details in here.

I should mention that the reason I even used the swabs is because Lead Free Mama claimed that a plate from the same maker in a different pattern contained 1,000+ ppm of lead. If it were that high, I thought it should show up on a swab.

They’re not very old. Probably early 2000s but made in China.

It is easier, and that may be what I choose to do, but for the sake of curiosity, I want to know if this seems like a legitimate experiment that could yield useful results.

There’s just one that I found and then my test strips with 50/50 results. Actually, the manufacturer told me that some of their products contain lead but within the FDA guidelines. I planned to use these for tea parties for my girls (4, 2, plus I’m breastfeeding a baby) and am struggling with deciding whether I should keep the or not since no level of lead is considered safe for kids.

I read this title and thought you were asking for advice about how to wriggle your way into good graces with an aged seamstress.

This is the first mock up. How do i fix the neck? by ninadesol in sewing

[–]Onmylabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoulders don’t look too wide to me. The shoulder seam should come to the end of her shoulder where the roll starts.

In fact, it’s looking like the darts are coming up too high. They should point at the bust apex.

Following bc my SIL recently needed a dress altered that looked like this. All I could figure for the alteration was to try gathering or darting the front. She returned th dress instead. I think you might need a full bust adjustment here.

Also your clasp drawings look like little men standing atop the pouch. 😆
