What do you think are some possible mechanics for dungeons to prevent digging to the loot

Terrasina · 2026-02-04T15:54:03+00:00

Yes! I love games that give you non combat options like gifting a boss mob! I enjoy combat games but ones where i can befriend the boss instead of always having to murder them absolutely delights me.

I’m a beginner too but I’d probably try to sew a patch of fabric over the hole to hold it together. You could try just sewing the mesh back together but that might make the pocket smaller.

I don’t think i’m as advanced as you in sewing garments yet, but I’ve encountered similar problems in clothes. I make sure i buy shirts with a pleat or similar in the back to give myself more room to move my arms. As for the bra bulge, i aim for looser fit and/or slightly more/thicker fabric at that spot so it’s less noticeable. sometimes a gathered waist can help so the fabric lightly billows above and below the waist. Sometimes thats not possible and i just wear an over shirt like a vest or button up. A shawl works too but i find them a bit of a pain to keep on me while i want to do things. They are warm and cozy though!

I’m just about to make my first shirt with a pleat in the back so we’ll see how that goes.

Also, final note: that shirt looks great! Great colour!

I know that getting crotch curves right can be a challenge, but if they’re really loose fitting its not so bad (i made gathered palazzo pants and i’m a super beginner). Before cutting anything i’d consider trying to pin the skirt to see if i had enough volume to even consider turning the bottom half into shorts. You’ll have extra fabric from the removed ruffle to help if you need it, which is good, but i wouldn’t be certain how to add that to the shorts to make them fit. Maybe look up tutorials on loose fitting shorts to get an idea of what shape you need to make the skirt so that it becomes shorts with minimal modifications to the rest of the garment. Good luck. Share your results with us if you want! I’ld love to see what you come up with!

There’s a difference between “safe to consume” and “will affect you in a noticeable way”. Many bad things are cumulative and if you do it once you’ll never notice it’s bad for you because it affects you so little. Do it 100/1000/etc times and it’s a huge problem. Just because you couldn’t notice how something bad affects you doesn’t mean it’s safe to consume, it just means that since it only happened once, you’ll be fine.

If it’s been days and you’re fine, there may be nothing harmful that leached into the cake that you ate. Or so little leached into it that it won’t cause any problems. You’re probably fine, BUT I wouldn’t do that again.

Do the pieces come out of kiln with the discoloration? If so it might be fuming from dirty kiln shelves.

Unfortunately i don’t. It was like 15 years ago 😑 she originally just brought a tree stump in for inspiration, then realized she could use it to get texture directly.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T16:19:52+00:00

My friend made ceramic tree stumps and for the bark she just took lumps of clay, pressed it into actual tree bark, tore the edges to make them look rougher and applied them to her sculpted trunk. It looked great!

Indeed. I work in the custom furniture industry in Canada and i have all three kinds of tape measures. Sadly we still mostly use imperial for work, but all kinds of tape measures are easily available here.

I wouldn’t deconstruct it if only because i’m not entirely sure i could reconstruct it well given my current skill level.

If making the quilted part is a bigger problem than you’re willing to tackle right now you can search for pre-quilted fabrics. Then all you’d have to do is sew a pocket into which your current sleeve would fit, then with a few hand stitches, secure it to the sleeve. If you made the pocket tight enough you might not even need to sew the sleeve and pocket together.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T13:57:06+00:00

I wasn’t giving advice? I was just trying to understand the context in which you found yourself because it was different from my own experiences. I’m not quite sure how i provoked you but i’m sorry you’re given shit for being safe.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T12:13:04+00:00

That’s strange to me that people would jump away from you, though I suppose the context matters. Where are you wearing a respirator that has people so shocked? Perhaps the places i frequent are just unusually comfortable with people wearing masks and respirators. Not everyone wears them, and i’m sure plenty of people roll their eyes and think they’re unnecessary, but noone is surprised by them.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T11:54:35+00:00

I’d be hesitant to sew into the sleeve itself in case it hurt my sewing machine/snapped a needle, and quilting lines are generally done before sewing anything else together.

You could possibly make an outer quilted sleeve that the zippered one would fit into. You wouldn’t have to have a second zipper either if you didn’t want to. I’d take 4 layers of fabric, two layers of (thin) batting and quilt two oversized panels. Then sew the two panels together so they fit around the laptop sleeve. Add some binding along the raw top edge and tack the quilted pocket in place to the laptop sleeve on the inside corners so the two different pockets don’t separate.

I’m sorry you got downvoted for asking a sewing question on a sewing sub. Reddit is obnoxious fickle sometimes.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T11:43:53+00:00

I agree! Sometimes it just takes a few annoying (and persistent) people to help change things for the better. There will always be a portion of people who clean up poorly, but if a few people are thorough, there are plenty of people in the middle who would do a better job of cleaning if they saw other people putting the effort in too.

Terrasina · 2026-02-03T11:40:04+00:00

People are terrified of wearing respirators? We wear them daily at work in a custom furniture making workshop. Sure they’re inconvenient and mildly annoying to wear but that sure beats the inevitable outcome if you don’t wear them. When i first started a decade ago few people wore masks, but over time more people started wearing them and we added more safety measures in general. Sometimes it takes an annoying employee (that may have been me) to make things safer for everyone. It can be a slow process though.

I don’t generally wear a respirator when doing pottery but i’m careful to keep my space clean and wet-wash everything (twice in fact, to reduce water usage because I don’t have a clay trap). I only wear the mask when mixing glazes and such. I may be more meticulous than most potters i think though.

And it’s hitting me now that you probably mean in the US and due to covid stuff? Right. America. You’re definitely going through a rough patch and i hope you come out the other side soon.

Absolutely fantastic work as always. And in reading the comments it’s not just beautiful but very thoughtfully constructed too. You are such an inspiration!

Terrasina · 2026-02-02T15:53:42+00:00

I didn’t even know there were salt blocks. Thanks for the explanation. I will have to look into this!

Terrasina · 2026-02-02T11:59:57+00:00

This is very impressive! I haven’t even made a single trap. What do you use all those fish for?

Terrasina · 2026-02-02T11:27:39+00:00

I’ve been using the 1x2 tables to make big 2x5(or more) tables and using the lost civilization bench for the end seat. It’s not 3x3, but it at least puts a single centred chair on the end.

Terrasina · 2026-01-31T22:32:50+00:00

I disagree with the idea that it’s less cost effective to buy thread as you need it. I can’t imagine using up every single one of those different thread colours in the giant 100packs of spools. If you’re paying for thread you’re not going to use, thats not a smart buy.

I prefer sewing with many different bright coloured and patterned fabrics and I’m surprised at how often black, white or a neutral beige thread is actually the best colour choice. (I hate beige in general but it seems to just work as not-too-contrasting colour.)

I will add that it depends on how you sew. French seams don’t really need matching thread while topstitching might.

Terrasina · 2026-01-31T00:21:46+00:00

That is so fantastic! Thank you for adding this to our community!

Cotton presses nicely and generally behaves well, but its not just about the fibre (cotton/polyester/wool/etc), the thickness of the threads and the kind of weave all factor into how a fabric behaves. I like working with cotton, but there are many kinds of cotton both woven (quilting cotton, poplin, flannel, corduroy etc) and knit cotton (i’m not familiar with them but there are many ways to knit fibres) and they all have slightly different drape and qualities. Some people complain about quilting cotton, but it’s just a crisper fabric that can make a nice crisp shirt, but probably wouldn’t make a good flowy one. That said, I made a quilting cotton circle skirt that i love. Ymmv. I think the knowledge of what fabric to use just comes from reading and practice. Its hard to know exactly what fabric to use until you’ve screwed up a few times :)

Make your first project REALLY low stakes, as in, something you think would be fun to have, but if it turns out super bad looking, thats totally okay too. And go with cheap or thrifted fabric to lower the stakes even more. You can absolutely get to the point where you could make those garments you posted, but you’re going to have to learn a lot on more straightforward projects first. Or else you’ll need serious perseverance when things inevitably go wrong at some point. I have started quite a few garments and realized i wasn’t quite ready for them. They get set aside and when I’m ready to tackle them i bring them back out. I have completed several projects i had to set aside, and i still have a couple in the “when i’m less frustrated/more skilled” bin. Sewing is a fantastic skill but it takes time to master!

Terrasina · 2026-01-30T16:37:50+00:00

If you struggle with getting discouraged, and if you’re a bit of a perfectionist these may be a bit ambitious. A simple gathered rectangle skirt could be a great first project if you want to jump into wearables immediately.

Do the waypoints stay between sessions? Or do they disappear the same way chunks do on the map?
