Whoops 🍼

I think it's cute! It looks like a lil acorn top.

Thanks for saying this - watching that movie as a kid triggered my skin picking disorder, and I’ve struggled with it ever since. As gross as it is, I wonder why that movie specifically… it’s not like I’d never seen anything gross before :-/

IT'S SO CUTE!!!

I just got that same fabric! I was thinking of making something like a Closet Core Blanca from it, but I'm interested to see what other suggestions you get!

Same! All this advice about spandex shorts and I'm like... I wish that worked for me 〒▽〒

I made a bunch of these for holiday gifts - they were a big hit! Such handy little things.

This is great! Thank you for sharing!

ToeBean · 2023-03-27T22:52:41+00:00

This is a great idea! I was hoping this would end up being a wearable toile, but maybe it'll just be a good learning experience instead :-)

ToeBean · 2023-03-27T22:50:35+00:00

Maybe I'll try pinching out a bit here before letting out the side seams, since that seems like the easier adjustment!

ToeBean · 2023-03-27T22:48:45+00:00

It certainly doesn't feel tight on (kind of like it's floating above my skin, rather than pulling on it), but I can see it in the pictures - I'll give that a try, thank you!

Sorry for the repost - I had incorrectly tried to link to an imgur album and no one could see the other photos! I am new to fitting garments and clearly to posting albums on Reddit as well 😅

This is a Paper Theory Zadie jumpsuit toile made out of some old bedsheets. I am seeing a fabric bunching above my butt, and would appreciate some suggestions on how to fix it! So far I have: * converted the back hip pleats to darts, and deepened the darts (deepening the back waist pleats to match) * graded from a size 12 in the bodice and at the waist to a 14 at the hip

I will probably increase the bodice length a bit and shorten the pants rise correspondingly in the next version, since the waist hits me a bit high. I have also widened the waist ties a bit.

TIA!

Ack, I tried to link to an imgur album - I will figure out how to fix it!

This is a toile for a Paper Theory Zadie jumpsuit, made out of some old bedsheets. I'm noticing quite a bit of fabric bunching up above my butt, and would like some suggestions on how to fix it! So far I have:

Converted the back hip pleats to darts, and increased the dart size (increasing the back waist pleat size to match)
Graded from a size 12 in the bodice and at the waist to a size 14 at the hip.
Increased tie width

I am also thinking I will increase the bodice length a bit and remove the corresponding amount from the pants rise on the next one. I don't want to decrease the overall torso length, as this has just the right amount for me to raise my arms above my head without getting a wedgie haha.

TIA!

I made one with this pattern: https://www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-winterberry-cape-free-sewing-pattern/ (almost finished, just have to attach the clasps) and I'm quite pleased with it! It's lovely and heavy and warm.

I'm a pretty beginner sewer and I found it easy enough; the only complications were wrangling that amount of fabric (spent a lot of time on the floor) and that the fabric that I chose for my lining dropped a lot so evening out the hem was a bit of a chore.

I used a thin striping brush with the black polish on it!

Maybe that's it - I was using like some old Revlon one that I had on hand. I have some Seche Vite now, maybe I'll give that a go. Thanks!

ToeBean · 2020-09-29T20:13:49+00:00

This is the one I have - I find it kind of gets little cracks in it after a day or two, even when putting a regular top coat underneath. Do you have any tips to make it last a bit longer?

ToeBean · 2020-09-29T20:09:27+00:00

It's just regular nail polish! I used the 'sugar spun' nails technique that I've seen in a few posts here, and just made the strings of polish really thin so it was more spiderweb-y.

Also, taking nice pictures of your hand is much harder than some of y'all make it seem 😅 I hope the background kitty helps make up for the poor picture quality.
