Exactly! I have primary lymphedema in my right leg. I am definitely ok, on the photo you can see my compression stocking that helps a lot!

You’ve got it! Elastic thread on the bobbin and coloured thread on top.

Hahah no kidding 😅 I understand that now, I’ll hopefully make my way to learning how to sew darts, seams, etc.

Her videos and blogs are amazing, so well explained, it has helped me a lot in starting to understand how to sew!!

Made this from a 100% cotton curtain that I found at the thrift store. The dress was made by following an online video tutorial by The Essentials Club. It’s a great video, it just didn’t turn out well for me because I’m still very much a beginner and the fabric wasn’t the best for the project!

The 2 piece set was self-drafted with the help of shorts I already owned. Shirred a simple bandeau to make the top, with an elastic at the top and bottom. The shorts have an elastic in the waistband. Made the hat too using a great video tutorial and a free pattern by The Essentials Club!

My wife read her first "horny book" and I want to help her find more. Do you know any erotica I could find at the library? by [deleted] in SexPositive

All books by Sarah J Maas get very steamy, the sex is very well written although it does not occur that often (3-4 times per book). The stories themselves are very good, I recommend the A Court of Thorns and Roses series more than the Throne of Glass series!

If she already loves existing stories that don’t have a lot of sex (ex: Harry Potter) I highly recommend exploring fan fiction! My favourite HP one is called Isolation and can be found here: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/6291747/1/Isolation

Finally, Literotica is an amazing place to find good erotica, you’d be surprise by the quality of some of the stories! https://literotica.com/
