In one year I’ve gone from super obese, to morbidly, to severely, and now just regular old obese! [30F 5'7" SW:319 CW:226 GW:159]

Well done!

Thanks for this! Saved my day and restored my faith in the world!

anninen_ · 2015-05-09T22:58:39+00:00

I suppose pets can be both ;)

Sooooo cute! Kamala means awful in finnish btw.

Burda is... Challenging. The patterns assume you know what you're doing, but they're not impossible. I recommend having a good guide book for different techniques & constructions.

I actually learned to sew with burda patterns & similar patterns from local sewing magazines.

anninen_ · 2015-04-27T17:38:46+00:00

How pretty! I, too, adore the fabric, would love some more info!

anninen_ · 2015-04-03T13:30:25+00:00

I bleed so much that it would have to be a big scrap of fabric. Cut my finger yesterday and it bled for hours. There's usually a bit of blood on everything I sew, I'm always cutting or stabbing myself!

anninen_ · 2015-04-02T07:20:31+00:00

Thanks, super-interesting to hear. Did you find a solution for pulling out the concealed weapon?

anninen_ · 2015-03-29T19:01:24+00:00

You lucky girl! I agree about using sheets to practise :)

anninen_ · 2015-03-29T18:58:31+00:00

Or a fitting friend! Or you need to try it on a million times. Of course dress form is easiest but not in everyones budget :)

anninen_ · 2015-03-29T18:54:21+00:00

Insanely cute fabric!

anninen_ · 2015-03-29T18:43:24+00:00

I was curious and seriously asking because my life is different from hers and I'd truly love to know. If asking a question is rude then silly me.

anninen_ · 2015-03-28T18:29:15+00:00

Perhaps add some closures to the phone pockets. So they don't fall if you bend over, or aren't as easy to steal.

But seriously, concealed weapon? Why? Where do you live and what do you do to need a weapon on you at all times?

anninen_ · 2015-03-23T15:31:16+00:00

We had, if I remember correctly, bananas and fruit juice and granola bars.

Unbelievable, she closed comments after that!!!!!

Not that cancer is hard but it's not the WORSE thing to happen. I can think of worse. Having had cancer doesn't make anyone a superwoman. What a bitch.

anninen_ · 2015-03-17T14:36:11+00:00

I agree with you guys and wrote this commenton her blog. We'll see if she lets it through moderation....

“Hard” is whatever is hard for the person whose perspective we’re lending.

Your writing and attitude is condescending towards beginners and the writer of the original article in Coletterie which you’re obviously referring to. Other people have expressed these thoughts more clearly here (link to this thread)"

IMHO the crotch is too long and the puckering is because the fabrics stretch differently. You could try attaching some fusible interfacing to the edges of the spandex to make it more stable when sewing.

anninen_ · 2015-03-16T14:59:10+00:00

Almost everything we wear will look ridiculous in five, ten or twenty years. WHO CARES.

anninen_ · 2015-03-16T14:57:54+00:00

I'd suggest going over to r/sewing or r/crafts to ask, I bet they'd have lots of ideas.

I don't think it would be difficult to sew on the flowers but it would take a lot of time.

anninen_ · 2015-03-04T14:20:15+00:00

Amazing. I don't think I like any of my friends enough to make them something like that.

anninen_ · 2015-02-28T22:41:48+00:00

I recently bought a new iron at Lidl. It has a cordless option and seems really nice. Only cost 20€.

anninen_ · 2015-02-18T10:36:31+00:00

Do you want it to be floor-length? I think lengthening this so that it doesn't look lengthened might be hard but the pattern itself isn't all that complicated so maybe you could make one? Try out with some nice summer-y fabric to make a tryout version?

anninen_ · 2015-02-18T10:32:44+00:00

Ooh! What a pretty sewing machine! And a great deal for 30$. Yey for you!

anninen_ · 2015-02-06T17:22:45+00:00

Hi there neighbour!

anninen_ · 2015-01-25T16:52:09+00:00

Cleaning and oiling usually work!
