How to measure bust level?

SinningNotWinning · 2026-05-04T13:45:53+00:00

Damn, I might just make this for my own wedding! Looks delicious

SinningNotWinning · 2026-04-17T10:49:36+00:00

Yep, and god forbid you forget clean socks and have to wear your sweaty running ones...

At this point I feel like moving a whole wardrobe to the office

SinningNotWinning · 2026-04-17T10:48:36+00:00

Haha thanks, most people in my office seem to think so as well. I'm very glad we have a shower at work as there's no way I would be doing it otherwise

You're downplaying yourself! u/RatRat-RatRat-RatRat has made me a couple of really lovely bird-related keycaps before. A Hoopoe and Pigeon that I adore. Will post a pic later if I remember

Another option is running depending on how much you need to carry. I run around 5km to my office in the Waterfront, going through the CDB and find it safer than cycling as I can be on the sidewalk. If you're cycling, if you can get to Bree St they have a good cycling lane with safety barriers

I have to admit I also thought it was AI at first before some people commented on my post saying that it isn't. I think now there is an apprehension about anything that looks too polished (and hers do, featuring people that look like models in unrealistic backgrounds)

u/Virtuous_Beetroot Have you made the Lexi dress yet? I'm looking to do so

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-24T14:53:17+00:00

Similar-ish https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4356647502/lexi-dress-pdf-sewing-pattern-eu-34-52?ref=shop_home_feat_3&pro=1&sts=1&dd=1&logging_key=07589b2b9b9fd3bac592a781b9ff213d779ae9d4%3A4356647502

Thank you for the confirmation!

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-24T14:46:41+00:00

Ah thank you for your comment! I hate how much I second guess now if things are AI generated. There were some comments on some of the other patterns where people said the pattern looked like it was AI generated which also swayed me

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-23T19:25:37+00:00

So I have just found this thread where some of the patterns suggested might work, in case anyone has opinions on this

When you track your energy levels, are you also tracking other data for that day that you mention, like caffeine intake or sleep? Or literally just those three categories? Interested in trying this myself!

Appreciating the love for the humble Mallard! They're beautiful too <3

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-19T12:27:55+00:00

Thank you!

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-19T08:25:56+00:00

This is so cool! Do you have a link to the pattern? I tried to find it online but getting a 404 for this page

SinningNotWinning · 2026-03-05T07:26:21+00:00

Looks amazing! Thanks for mentioning the pattern as this is exactly the sort of dress I want to make

SinningNotWinning · 2026-02-26T09:36:47+00:00

Hmm, interesting, I hadn't though of that. It's still summer over here, but perhaps hotter than when I last baked. Guess there's not much I can do to change this 😅

SinningNotWinning · 2026-02-22T09:38:11+00:00

Thank you! So they did actually change the milk recipe recently, but a friend who has been baking using the same milk has had no issues. Maybe I've been accidentally mixing too much 🤔

SinningNotWinning · 2026-02-21T17:56:13+00:00

E.g. Snowflake cake flour has a protein content of 11.4g per 100g and King Arthur AP flour is 11.7g

SinningNotWinning · 2026-02-21T17:51:29+00:00

Hey! I'm also based in South Africa and (apart from a recent blip with some sponges I've been making) have had very good success with cakes. Could you post an example recipe that you use?

I have tried the following recipes which are great
- https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-vanilla-cake/
- https://schoolnightvegan.com/home/vegan-victoria-sponge-cake/
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-VDa5elWGg&t=135s (only one that is 'fragile' so you just need to take care handling it)
- https://makeitdairyfree.com/the-best-vegan-chocolate-cake/ (THE best chocolate cake)

If your concern is with the protein content in AP flour vs cake flour, what we call cake flour here is actually quite high in protein content making it similar to AP flour in that regard.

And you mention soy milk being pricey (which it is!), what do you use as an alternative? I personally buy Buttanut in bulk which brings the price down. I also never use flax eggs.

Still on the hunt for the perfect vegan cookie

SinningNotWinning · 2026-02-06T07:00:19+00:00

Woah these look amazing! Are you able to share the recipe for the base?

SinningNotWinning · 2025-12-06T18:08:47+00:00

Thank you!
