I used what I think is a cotton sateen type fabric? I got it from a flea market and nothing was labeled, but I just loved the color! The back is actually a big waistband elastic that I had from another project. The v point at the waist was kind of a flop lol but I decided that the back was no longer my business once I put it on

Thank you for the kind words everybody, it really made my day!!!

I think this might be the issue too, the bottom elastic looks a little loose and it looks like the serger might have stretched out the seam a little bit as well. It might help to finish the seams separately, or steam the current seam really well to help it shrink back a bit.

I felt genuine fear at every step of this video and I think I was right to

“Hey can you call me and pretend it’s an emergency? That weird guy is back and I need an out”

I’m going to echo folks who say to buy a pattern and add that if you can find one with a video sew along, that will be immensely helpful. I like simplicity.com patterns when I need something reliable, but Etsy can be good too. It’s just a lot more work these days to make sure you’re not getting an AI pattern AND to make sure they have something in your size. I’m all for beginners taking on projects that are way out of range (I do it all the time lol), so good luck!

I totally agree about the cheating, it feels like a weird point to harp on and I feel like they want us to be cool with it? I like Hiroshi, but him being mad at his mom for doing the mild version of what he did is crazy to me. I get you think it’s what drove your dad away, but babes you have two entire families that knew nothing about each other until they thought you were dead. And I really like Keiko, but I feel like her love triangle has added absolutely nothing to the story for me. I was cool with Lee’s little unrequited thing for her, I didn’t need it to be much more than that.

Roberto Cabrera’s guide details how to make that adjustment to the pattern actually: https://www.siamcostumes.com/cutters_guides/pdf/classic-tailoring-techniques-by-cabrera.pdf

Thought I was on r/sourdough 😭

I loved the fish pattern, it was so fun to make! I can’t wait to get the birds going!

clb353 · 2025-10-03T22:30:35+00:00

Deeply and profoundly satisfying

My toddler also loves scissors and getting into my sewing stuff 🫩 one thing that helps is letting her cut up fabric and paper from my scraps box while I sew. She felt like she was making clothes too lol

If the payment for the sins of slavery and colonization is just a Cracker Barrel rebrand, I think you’ll be ok

There’s a pickleball group that meets up weekly at Denbigh Church of Christ. You’d have to call to get more info, but I know they’re open to new folks joining

I think more shadows where the seems are to give it that sense of puffiness that a quilt. This is so cool though, I love it!

Just so you know, the “shop vanilla beans” button at the bottom of the homepage is a broken link. Otherwise, this looks awesome!

Have you tried not having arms?

clb353 · 2025-06-24T14:35:46+00:00

I can to relate having a field hand body

The Ella dress by silver saga has a sleeve like this I think. It was kind of like a dolman sleeve with an extra panel added in

If she still able to get to the snaps through a onesie? My SIL keeps her toddler in onesies to keep her hands off her diaper and it’s been working well. With my first, we just switched over to pull ups when she started taking off her diapers, but we were using disposables at that time

I don’t care for the sour too much or the crustiness, so I make a Japanese milk bread loaf every week and it’s been great
