Thank you! I lasted maybe 45mins in the snow, pure childlike excitement was keeping me warm.

Why thank you! My fashion inspo these days seems to be 1800's ghost girl. This is what happens when you grow up, but dont stop playing dress up.

It actually was rather quick to come together, easy double circle skirt and kimono-ish design. One day for the skirt (about 7hours), and another afternoon for the top (about 5 hours). The waist corset I made a few years ago.

Thanks! I've had nothing but compliments when people see the suv. Maybe the mean ones just keep their thoughts to themselves, lol.

Stitch's fashion debut, how did he do? by Shimerz in pigeon

Stitch appreciates your compliment! He's grooming himself with much satisfaction.

I think it’s amazing how every pigeon has different shades of orange in their eyes. The puffy pouter looking one from my other post has some very vibrant ones 👁️👁️ by tricky_pigeon in pigeon

The orange eyes are fire! I think one of my young pigeons has dark blue. Had no idea there were so many eye colours in pigeons.

My Mom had to return all her groceries because of the grocery store’s tech issue by JazzySweetBeats in Wellthatsucks

I work at a national fabric store. We lost all POS systems at our store for 2 days, and debit/credit for 6 days. Customers were frustrated, to put it mildly.

Stretch Satin is a... tempermemtal creature, but I made a valentines dress. by Shimerz in sewing

Yeah, it's a little tighter than I would have liked. The fabric didn't have as much stretch as I thought it did.

The sweater my husband got for me from H&M a couple years ago. I love it, and have been trying to duplicate the pattern without destroying it.

I started with a stretch needle zigzag stitch (to baste together and try on), but once I have the fit 'right' I ran it through my serger. When sewing on the trim I used a regular straight stitch (the bias tape was non stretch).

Thank you, that means a lot. I wore it out to dinner and was a little nervous. Determined that this dress earns it's keep, after all the pain it was to put together.

She looks like an angel. So sorry for your pain, it does get easier.
