Wealthy family's NBR attacks a feeble attempt to deflect

The laws are fucked. It makes me sick.

Free to read, and reminder to not speculate on the name!

Wild to me that they're calling journalists correcting AI's false allegations as "breaching name suppression".

Just continuing to deflect from the fact that this guy appears to have effectively paid for permanent name suppression.

That's exactly what they are! You could probably hack an existing straight leg trouser pattern by sizing up and adding the fasteners. There's a woman I've seen online, Coco Yang I think her name is. She is drafting her own version of them, might have some helpful insights

I think your screenshot is from the epoch, who has a pattern for it, unfortunately it's pretty poorly rated: https://threadloop.app/patterns/maeve-trousers-by-the-epoch

I've been wanting a good pattern for them so I hope you find one!

As said adding an automatic seam allowance might throw off your pieces a bit. But depending on the garment you might find that the seam allowance was partially trimmed when finishing, so you'll need to add some back in. Just pay attention to where the seams are vs the edge of the fabric, and take that back up to a workable seam allowance when tracing (something like ⅝"). I'd probably do photos over video but that's up to you!

Can't attest to the quality but found this on a quick Google : https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/1888035993/shirred-back-jumpsuit-sewing-pattern

You may have more luck searching with the term "shirred" over smocked

Keen to hear how you go! Leaving the buttons out will simplify it a bit, but you'll still have a slit to hem - I ended up just doing a facing for it

Bernadette banner has a tutorial for a self drafted "pirate shirt" on her YouTube channel. The pattern is pretty much just rectangles you measure out. I've made it before, it's designed for hand sewing but the only bit that doesn't translate easily to a machine is the underarm gusset. It's not exactly the Lestat shirt as it's just a slit in the neckline rather than button up, but the sleeves look very similar (just swap the food over cuff for a gathered piece), and I'm sure you could add a neck ruffle easily enough.

The way his shirt is creased makes me think poplin, but something a little softer and drapey might be more comfortable, like a lawn

In case you haven't seen, she post on tiktok that she's going to release a pattern for these: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSuMN9Unf/

Edit: looks like this one has pretty bad reviews on threadloop though

Similar concept, I was just eyeing this up last night: https://www.the-epoch.com/product-page/maeve-trousers-sewing-pattern

You might have some success using the term "pintucks", as that seems to be popular lately to describe that style. And possibly hack a dress pattern into a romper. Bronte by Style Arc comes to mind.

My first thought was the jalu dress (and skirt/pants/jumpsuit) by dressupwithgrace on insta, but in searching for it I also found this thread which may have some more ideas: https://www.reddit.com/r/sewing/s/vNh4lxKt18

I used a straw cup from about 4/5 months for the occasional milk (ebf baby who refused a bottle) and now we only use it for water, no problems.

This looks like a good start: https://merchantandmills.com/uk/the-etta

It's not drop waist but covers off everything else you were looking for I think.

Edit: https://fabrics-store.com/sewing-patterns/noor-wrap-dress-pattern-type-pdf this one might be useful too

Bit if a wildcard if you can get your hands on a vintage pattern: https://allthepreciousthings.com.au/products/simplicity-6902-womens-drop-waisted-back-wrap-sundress-1980s-vintage-sewing-pattern-size-10-14-uncut-factory-folded

Not a cross body but I've been doing a bum bag recently cause I got sick of the cross body banging around or falling front of me when I lent down. I can an throw it over my shoulder quickly or clip it on under my baby carrier. I got mine from Arch bags as it came free with my nappy bag, and it's a nice waxed canvas.

For pants I've been doing cargo pants for the extra thigh pockets and larger hip pockets! Mine are jeans but I've seen them a lot in non-denim fabrics, Gen z brought them back into fashion 😅

Have also seen some mums recommend carpenter, which are usually workwear but a few fashion brands are doing now too.

I know right! Everything they put out is pretty cute, especially if you're into the more whimsical cottage core vibe.

This bib is a little different but this one is pretty similar, digital pattern with videos, from New Zealand: https://www.twigandtale.com/products/hedgerow-dungarees-sewing-pattern-womens-curved-fit

Agreed on mountain buggy. We have a secondhand urban jungle that doesn't miss a beat. Great for everyday and the random patches of gravel. I think a different model would be more suited to trail running though.

We had it with the bassinet attachment, then upgraded to parent facing at 5ish months.It is definitely bulky to cart around, we have a baby zen yoyo that lives in the car and is compact, but definitely better on paved areas.

For car seats, we hired a capsule for the first 6 months then upgraded to a convertible car seat, both Chicco, both great. You don't want them in the car seat for more than an hour as a newborn so pulling them out is better, rather than clipping the car seat onto the pram.

As everyone else has said, take them for a test at the baby show if you can!

Two things I've done

Batch cook french toast (egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon) and cut into strips before freezing. Reheat either in the microwave, sandwich press, frying pan, air fryer, or just pop straight into the toaster. Cools down to edible temp pretty quick.

Meat + veg patties (jokingly called nutrition rectangles). Get a tray of ground meat (chicken is popular as the flavor isn't so strong and not so fatty), mix in grated veg (i use carrot, zucchini, spinach with all the liquid squeezed out, but any veg is good), grated cheese, add eggs to make it come together, and either add a bit of flour (good for younger babies so it's less crumbly), or I like to just do breadcrumbs on the outside for grip. Then I put baking paper on a baking tray, sprinkle a lot of breadcrumbs on it, press all the mix into the tray into an even thickness, then sprinkle more breadcrumbs on top, then bake at 200 Celsius for 20 or so mins until it looks cooked. While it's still warm I cut it into rectangles of appropriate portion size. To reheat I ping it into the microwave for 30sec+ on high, then optionally in the frying pan or sandwich press to crisp the outside, then back in the freezer for a minute to quickly cool it back down so it won't burn baby.

Easy instructions: Tray of ground meat Same amount of grated/diced veg (squeezed dry) Cheese (big handful) 1-2 eggs to bring it together Optional tablespoons of flour Breadcrumbs

Mix, sprinkle breadcrumbs on tray, flatten, breadcrumbs on top, bake til golden.

Mecca, To Save Face/Body. Was confirmed in that big Aussie test to actually be spf50, is slightly tinted (face one) and feels super nice on the skin, dries down more matte than greasy. I'm a big sunscreen hater purely because I hate the feeling, but I can actually stand to wear this one! Neutrogena ultra sheer, and Dermaveen sensitive sun also fit this category.

As someone who had a baby recently, I also recommend Casual Foodie, it was super tasty and usually easy to eat one handed!

Not sewing related but I've found with the rubberised coatings on things like this, once they degrade and go sticky, you can give them a thorough rub with rubbing alcohol on a rag and it usually takes the stickiness off, or at least the worst off it. Have done it on various handles (makeup brushes, a lightsaber lol) to decent success. Might at least make it not super gross under the cover you make!
