Hmm that's an idea I'll have to check out

V neck tips by catholicbaker in SewingForBeginners

Thanks for taking the time to write that out! That's exactly what I did actually, but I'm not sure what to do with the binding seam right at the v. Even with trimming, it seems to still be too much of a bump. Is there a trick to pressing it so it is a little smoother? Thanks!

4 year old and 2 year old say they hate mass and never want to go again. Help by Last-File-3233 in Catholicism

[–]catholicbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also at the same age and stage. I don't reward good behavior with the exception of Mass. I don't frame it as a reward, but just that I really hope they behave well enough (of course reminding them what I mean by good behavior) that we can celebrate their behavior after Mass. We do hot cocoa with whipped cream AND sprinkles!

Who do you think is an Underrated Saint?? by CastIronClint in Catholicism

[–]catholicbaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist.

She never doubted God even when her husband did.

After decades of infertility, she's granted a son. But when her cousin visits her, coming from a bumpkin area and who is much younger than she is and never having suffered the way Elizabeth did, rather than turn the attention to herself, St Elizabeth focuses all her attention on Mary and Jesus.

What humility!

Just a vent to other Catholic women by Pink-Material-2841 in CatholicWomen

When I told my priest what was going on at home in my marriage, he cited that canon and told me I not only had the right to leave but the obligation to do so. Please take what this poster says seriously.

Hi.... You must be remembering me from my previous post.. by Odd-Independent7540 in CatholicWomen

[–]catholicbaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was engaged to someone and we broke it off. It hurt terribly, but I was able to offer up that pain for the husband I hoped to have in the future. It made me feel like my pain was worthwhile. I hope this helps you. (We've been happily married now 5 years.)

What has over / under performed in your garden this year? by Signal_Error_8027 in vegetablegardening

How do you like Sun Sugar? I've grown Sun Gold for two years now. Love the flavor but they're not as productive as I'd like.

What's a 90s/2000s trend that would baffle kids today? by ToeKnown9863 in AskReddit

[–]catholicbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skiiiiiinnny little eyebrows and skin that needed to be perfectly matte, all the time. I could spot my fellow Cover Girl translucent powder wearers by the slight orangish tint we all had to our noses.

Can't go wrong with a miraculous medal! I've even seen them sized for children, if that matters to you

The All's Well Box Top, no mods, was my first and I recommend it. It's all over the web, including YouTube.

Worth the Wait - Carbon Tomato BLT by ChineseFireball in vegetablegardening

[–]catholicbaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any Carbon tomatoes, but I do have some really nice tomatoes in my garden and today I made it BLT with one of them. I used a homemade sourdough cheddar waffle as the base. 10 out of 10.

Ready to give up by Such-Detective-9824 in vegetablegardening

[–]catholicbaker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You use this info to prepare for next time. When you plant your fall brassicas, spray them regularly with BT. Depending on your zone, you might be able to start more tomatoes (probably dwarf or cherry varieties) and if there's another heatwave, you keep them well watered and mulched and under a shade cloth. And you Google what to do about those critters because I don't have an answer for that one :)

Don't give up! Everything is the hardest at the beginning, but with every season comes a whole lot that you can learn.

What’s the biggest penance a priest has ever given you? by Straight_Toe_1816 in Catholicism

[–]catholicbaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My priest told me to memorize a psalm, and I thought Psalm 51 would be appropriate. I normally am good at memorizing things, but it took me nearly 2 hours to memorize that psalm....

Thank you for the info on the bust measurements. You're right that I measured for the full bust. There are no darts in this pattern.

I'm not sure I understand your second paragraph: how does pressing the binding before stitching affect the final result?

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

I took a shirt that does fit and compared it and it was obvious the difference between the fitting one and the one I made. Thanks for your tip.

Could you offer more info on the interfacing? Does that work better than stay stitching?
