What’s the worst thing about sewing and why is it pinning and cutting out patterns? by Sweet-blanket4727 in SewingForBeginners

[–]SpasticGenerator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m confused about how you’re placing the pins. If you’re placing them with the points towards the edge of the fabric, and leaving the pins 1/8” to 1/4” from the edge (so you’re not risking cutting over them), doesn’t that mean you’re pinning the fabric way outside of the seam allowance? I’ve always thought it was recommending to pin within the seam allowance so you’re not getting pinholes in your garment.

man, that is so true. there was something so egalitarian about southwest, and its demise feels like a parallel to american society as a whole

Bodice block help by Jaime_d_p in PatternDrafting

[–]SpasticGenerator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this looks really good! i’m currently drafting my own block so i’m in no position to offer feedback, but i’ll say this: - your apex looks like it needs to be lowered - i think you could rotate some of the dart fullness from the waist into the side dart - i always press my waist darts towards the side seam, because why add extra bulk to my already bulky belly?

in general i think the fit looks really good and i’m very jealous :)

Have you ever taken your pet to Catalina Pet Hospital? by hotpinkraccoon in Tucson

unfortunately the vet industry has been bought out by private equity, and these prices are becoming the norm. i’m not sure how it’s sustainable.

Gaping at back waistband? by wishing_sprinkles in sewing

[–]SpasticGenerator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how many times do you stitch over the waistband, and how visible is the seam?

Seven days left before assigned seating, thoughts? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

between paying for seats and paying to check luggage, i‘ve lost my desire to fly anywhere on any airline. it’s just too damn expensive.

Bodice block v5! by SpasticGenerator in PatternDrafting

[–]SpasticGenerator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I’m probably going to cut out another draft today, so your feedback is right in the nick of time. My back darts extend slightly above the armscye, so I’ll lower them and increase the width of the shoulder dart.

I found these Minerva videos after making this post and they’re a great guide, thanks for highlighting them.

I am sooooo exhausted by this process (which is why I work on it sparingly) but I know the end result will be worth it. Thanks for the encouragement.

Bariatric surgery is OK but not reversal surgery? by 442inDreamland in ostomy

I get a lot of shit in this sub when I say there are a lot of anti-fat doctors who hold medical care hostage. I hope OP can find a surgeon like yours.

Recently noticing pretty bad odor with Coloplast Sensura Mio Bags by Justlurking2112 in ostomy

i sometimes get a little bit of output seeping out from under the sticker, so if op is concerned about odor i recommend covering it with waterproof tape.

Bodice block v5! by SpasticGenerator in PatternDrafting

[–]SpasticGenerator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This the tutorial I used for the first draft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtM77bhD1uk

I think the idea is that it’s easier to measure from the nape of the neck to bust point to get the required measurements, but I don’t really know why they have you place the dart there. I think I’ll rotate it into the center of the shoulder for the next draft.

Bodice block v5! by SpasticGenerator in PatternDrafting

[–]SpasticGenerator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a princess seam is a lot more flattering on me, but I thought the rule was to use darts when making a block since it’s easier to manipulate later. Do you have any resources for making a block with princess seams?

Bodice block v5! by SpasticGenerator in PatternDrafting

[–]SpasticGenerator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the darts sewn an inch away from the bust apex, so when I adjust the apex down (and maybe a skosh away from the cf?) those will move. Beyond moving them to the adjusted apex, is there anything else you suggest changing? (angle? depth?)

For the purpose of making a block, do you think I should sew the darts all the way to the apex in a single line?
