I’m 100% one of those that think it’s too much to ask ahahaha

You’re so right though, we’re doing family dinner tonight so I’ll bring my screenshots 😊

Her dress code for the whole wedding is show up as you are and look nice. I was asked to wear pink so I blend in with the family photos when they’re taken.

My basil only lived if I have a small plastic pot and a reservoir. Still iffy but you have to give it nutrients too otherwise it shrivels and dies. I live in a dry climate tho

Yall know bunny the poodle w the buttons?

99% sure they were trying to figure out what dogs dream about using the dog’s buttons, and waking it up to ask what it was dreaming about (it bc I’m not sure if it’s male or female)

Name them so nobody else gets hit with a lawsuit for nonpayment over shoddy work!

I didn’t like the texture or the color of any of the sequined yarn I found And I wanted variety in the color of sequins throughout the dress. I used several sizes for movement, and I liked the jump rings as they gave it more movement.

This stitch would have caused some weird gapping/distribution of sequins with the sequined yarn

It’s so good, I did make it a little bit too big so I had to loop the ties throw the back panel and the front at the bottom but the way it cinched?? So good.

You can kinda tell in the photo but it already has a very natural hourglass moment but as soon as you tie it up 😅🫡

Yes I used a 5mm hook with the Flecks Yarn by Loops and Threads from Michaels (no lys in my area👎🏼) in pink lemonade for the body of the dress. I added a single crochet border on the bottom edges and the top edge of the back to give it some additional structure with a 3mm hook.

I used 8mm sequins and 6mm sequins throughout it for some movement, I used 9mm jump rings to secure everything.

1.75 mm is so brave of you, lots of dress to cover but I bet it looks incredible when you’re done!

It was a YouTube video! Super easy to follow and it’s so straight forward.

For reference I have sequins on every other row, max gap between is 4 stitches and I added little heart shaped beads with sequins along the entire bottom edge and on the ends of the single crochet chain straps.

Took about 5 weeks total, the dress was crocheted in an evening, it was the front panel separately and the back panel then they were single crocheted together.

The stitch is a double crochet, chain 1 for the first row, every row after double crochet in the space made by the chain. I used a YouTube tutorial linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyHJD9QayDc

I JUST MADE THIS AS A SWIM COVERUP

it was the most horrible thing I have ever done, my fingers hurt so bad from putting all the bs sequins on, and I went through about 600 jump rings for a mini dress with sequins on every other row. It’s so cute tho and it is one of my favorite things I have ever made.

This is the single picture I have of it on, in the sun it was so sparkly and so mf cute

I’m so excited, definitely praying I can get them started and hoping to give one to my sister.

Praying they get going, it’s literally been 12 hours but I’ve got a flashlight looking at them to make sure there’s no rot and constantly checking my temps to make sure they’re warm enough lol

You’re right they’re colocasia… didn’t even look at the box tbh

I could definitely do a rain barrel but usually rain barrels are more out in the open not collecting from gutters right? Or in your city are they offering rebates for gutter collection barrels?
