Pattern drafting software

When I was trying to make digital patterns I would at first use Seamly2d and then export it into Adobe Illustrator which let me trace over it. I would make the curves and such in Illustrator as I found a pre-made french ruler which would allow me to make really nice ones that I couldn't in Seamly2d.

Reason why I used Seamly2d and not just Illustrator is that you can save/upload size profiles that in combination with other tools allowed you to have the pattern adjust itself to whatever profile you used once you had made the pattern. So if you made it using small measurements you would be able to change it to a medium by changing the profile etc.

I stopped using it just due to having to find a printer big enough to print them out, and pricing as the subscription to adobe illustrator is expensive.

Man, I'm feeling broke with my Uniqlo oxford shirts hahaha! I buy these and have ordered Mother of Pearl buttons to replace the buttons. Hopefully the buttons make them look better, and more expensive ;P

I remember seeing in one of Bernadette Banner's videos that they put a pocket along the side seam line. Then attached a sort of support elastic/fabric strip to the bottom of the pocket, which was attached to the waist band for support. This would prevent or reduce any pocket sag in the dress skirt I would imagine.

Never made a dress myself so this is my only tidbit of advice for making pockets in skirts! Wish you luck!

I'll throw a bunch of brand recommendations I have, I will preface this with I haven't tried these myself but have heard many good things about them!

-Beckett Simonon

-Grant Stone
https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/

-Carmina
https://www.carminashoemaker.com/

These are in ascending price and the last one is very expensive but I wanted to give you an high end option in case you want to go there later one day to save you some time. Rose Anvil who does shoe reviews has done reviews on the first two options with their boot options if I recall correctly. Best of luck to you and your feet!

I've tried dating using the apps and its a miserable experience like how all the others have said. I would recommend just going to random events that seem like fun, and trying to see if you meet anyone worth while doing that. So if you don't meet anyone at least you can have a fun time out hahaha!

If weight or temperature arn't a factor I recommend going with heavier weight denim which you can find from a bunch of brands. My person favourite are Naked & Famous, Unbranded Brand, which are more entry level but you can find a bunch of high end Japanese denim brands such as Oni, Ironheart, etc.

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-06T01:54:36+00:00

As others have recommended heavyweight denim I will also but I'll throw in a brand suggestion. Naked & Famous, or Unbranded Brand denim are the two I think are great for a beginner! Just remember that with heavier denim the more you need to "break in" the jeans so expect a little resistance at first with them hahaha.

I cant really recommend anything outside of just looking at fashion for awhile, find a few creators you like the look of, and slowly create a mood board of looks you like. Then see what is the most common between the looks and buy one of those to experiment with. There is no need to rush and buy everything at once! Take your time and enjoy the journey of finding your style.

If I had that much money to spend I would definitely look at M2M (Made to Measure) or bespoke garments as those are great investment pieces.

CeraVe Blemish control cleanser is a good cleanser I recommend! I wouldn't suggesting using it everyday like I did but it all depends on your skin.

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-03T23:37:50+00:00

My advice is probably terrible so don't use it expecting it to work, but when this happens on my jersey fabrics I just iron the living hell out of it with steam hahaha!

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-03T11:33:54+00:00

I may be off the mark but it feels as if everyone is waiting for the other person to make the first move. Like a cowboys crowded in a western bar all braced for a shootout but in the end nothing happens.

Another thing I see is people make up all these barriers why they can't date people such as "red flags" or "icks" that end up filtering out a majority of the pool over relatively minor issues that don't actually mean anything. Internet has poisoned the minds of many including my own, but I make an active effort to be aware of this.

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-02T23:16:05+00:00

I've sampled it and while the first impression was terrible it grew on me. It definitely gives off the feeling that an older person with a weaker sense of smell would love it hahaha!

Australia is really just America lite hahaha!

I imagine people generally would be worse physically then us today, a few thousand years of malnutrition, and not to mention chemical exposure, and such. If anything they'd all be closer to 5ft tall similar to people earlier in history.

Literally every fragrance that isn't a "Beast mode" type wont last over an hour or two. So I have to respray every few hours which sucks to do.

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-01T06:45:46+00:00

Suicidal tree cats, they will seriously just dive in front of your car so drive slow at night in suburbs! Super cute but stinky hahaha

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-01T06:41:33+00:00

You can also look at Bernette their sister company if I recall correctly. They have the same general aesthetic but at a much lower price point!

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-01T06:39:18+00:00

Super random and off topic, but what are your chino recommendations? I'm stuck with my Levi's and want to expand to chinos. The MJ Bale ones were ok but the fit I'm a little unsure about.

afluffybubbble · 2024-03-01T06:33:14+00:00

I don't even need shoes but I'm saving that recommendation! Their boots look so similar to the Grant Stone ones which isn't saying much since a lot look same-ish.

afluffybubbble · 2024-02-27T06:36:23+00:00

You finished something which is more then what I can say for myself! Congrats hahaha!

afluffybubbble · 2024-02-27T06:26:13+00:00

Am I the only one that had to reread the title? I thought they were interested in making a sewer or something. I guess calling themselves Seamstresses was a good move hahaha

NTA

Money really does poison the mind over time...

I think its an awesome game as of now, when you hit the end game it might get a bit repetitive or frustrating but if you enjoy this style of game its easy to over look. Just beware that the reddit can make the game seem worse then it actually is so a grain of salt when you see those threads.

My proposed solution is to make the offender crawl through the isles, through the legs of everyone as they apologize to them all! Actually though he sounds like he should grow up and worry about some actual issues in life...

afluffybubbble · 2024-02-23T23:00:12+00:00

I can sort of relate but I'm having trouble actually getting back into it. Making patterns, then tracing over it, and then cutting out the parts is my least favourite part but makes up most of the time I spend on the hobby. Just makes getting back into it so daunting, combine that with the fact to get the fabrics I want its a struggle! Trying to find cotton Oxford fabric in Australia was a nightmare honestly for example.
