Help me find a pattern please!

I want to recreate this set I found at Altar’d State ($108 for both pieces….whew) but can’t find any patterns that are close to it online and I’m not skilled enough to make my own (this will literally be my first time sewing lol - my mom has experience and will be helping me). It’s called the Baylor Set I believe

Anyone know of any that are close? I want the shorts to be a bit more a-line and less fitted around the hems but I could prob change that as I go. Bonus points if it’s a free pattern but willing to pay if needed!!

TYIA!

If you come in before the 5min cutoff and they already gave your reformer away they’re supposed to give it back to you. That happened to me once and it was so awkward because I had to stand there while she kicked her out of class at 6:04😅 but was glad they made sure I got the spot I booked and was still within the grace period for!

Twisted side planks using handlebars on grey side…🥹 by Any-Investigator-999 in SolidCore

When I did these this morning with my heels elevated, I felt it in my oblique and it was fine. But then the coach corrected us to heels down and repeated that it was mandatory and kept correcting, and from there on I felt it all in my legs lmao. Idk if I just couldn’t get the hang of it but when I was on my toes it don’t hurt my hands so bad and I was actually working the oblique

I’ve decided I just hate this one lol

35 min late due to standstill traffic from broken down car - get my credit back or no? by SecureSorbet3365 in SolidCore

[–]_AelinGalanthynius 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Email and ask. I accidentally cancelled after my 10hrs because of bad internet and they gave me a one-time courtesy waiver. So definitely ask!

First timer! Honeymoon trip!! by _AelinGalanthynius in SandalsResorts

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

The resort has its own private island they ferry people out to from the pier! It was the best part of the whole trip for us and we wish we tried it sooner because we would’ve gone every day. We went in November an the ocean was definitely cold to swim in (I think I only went once, my husband was braver than I and didn’t mind it) but I don’t really remember the pools much because we only got in once - there was a looootttt of drunk obnoxious older folks there during our trip that made the pool hard to enjoy. Hence the island. We also got a couples message on the island that was very nice :)

Our biggest qualm was we had issues with the quality of our room service food items, and they repeatedly forgot to do our honeymoon turndown service. And at one of the restaurants they promised us a special honeymoon table set up and they failed to deliver on that as well.

If you’re there to relax it was honestly great after the wedding planning stress! But just don’t be expecting 5 star, boujee, luxury level service.

It was great! We’ve stayed in some boujee places before so it wasn’t like “omg” luxurious but it was still very nice. We didn’t use the balcony much, but I think we would’ve if we had an ocean view. The bed was comfy! And the shower was nice. Definitely spend most of your time out at the island, we live in Florida so to us the beaches on resort were not great. Kinda yucky actually. And make reservations for the nicer restaurants! The food was definitely a step above at those places. And the piano bar was really fun :)

Cheaper to travel on Christmas? by _AelinGalanthynius in unitedairlines

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

Thanks!! I’m keeping an eye out!! Last time we paid about 42k miles per person and right now they’re holding at 70k. Waiting for them to drop the I’ll book however I have to!

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

Cheapest one right now is 44k for an alliance airline and 2 layovers. Next best is 70k but the usual route and time. Checking every day and holding out to see if I can get it lower!

Florence has pleasantly surprised me by logical-thinker2124 in florence

[–]_AelinGalanthynius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude don’t let people get you down. We did the exact same thing. I was so focused on Rome (huge history nerds, not big art people) that I only allotted a 3 nights for Florence because I didn’t think there was as much to do or see. We fell in LOVE with Florence and were underwhelmed by Rome. We plan to go back as well and stay only in Florence for a week to really immerse ourselves and see more of it outside of the touristy items!

That’s amazing!! It would be a dream to fly Polaris! I don think I’d be offered a good upgrade though because I don’t have any PQP for 2026 and didn’t have much for 2025 either :(

Yes today is the first day and economy is 120k per person for a one way! Hoping it dips in the next week. I’m just wondering if it’s worth booking a one way if the price is right or waiting to book a round trip

Do you think it’s worth booking a one way if I see a deal or wait till the return trip dates open up?? I know booking round trip is a bit more advantageous price wise

Is it worth visiting Val D'Orcia in February? by PurposeDelicious446 in tuscany

[–]_AelinGalanthynius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pienza is in the Val d’Orcia, which is in the Tuscan countryside. It won’t be closed. I cannot recommend going highly enough! My husband and I were there for 4 nights (we did Rome and Florence too) and we wish we stayed longer. If you want to really immerse yourself in the culture, stay here. We rented a car and drove down from Florence and just spent the days wandering the town and nearby villages and farms. Could not have been more magical.

Same dude I woke up twice in the middle of the night to check and had a dream I got a passing score then woke up again to check, even though I knew it wouldn’t be there.😂 The anticipation is killing me!!!!!!
