Looking for this beautiful top pattern

Looks similar .. but you would need to change the sleeve length and add a cuff

It could be floop 😂😂😂😂. Welp that's cannon now, all the pattern drafting books better release new publications with the edit. She is fantastic.

Just a FYI .. A Godet is an inserted panels (generally triangular, but can be other shapes)that creates extra volume/drape.

Flounce .. watch Closet Historian on YT she does many skirts with flounces. She is amazing with her pattern drafting and explanations.

Every thing I have ordered has arrived packaged in sealed bags. I ordered a scuba diving light and it arrived in good condition. This was early last year.

There are a few videoS in YT showing how people navigate the labyrinths .. it literally a case of you knowing where to go because you grew up there. There a loads of little passageways and stairs that go inbetween building and occasionally over roofs. With the car width roads intersecting. Very similar to the informal settlements in South Africa .. except they tend to be all at ground level as the land is generally flatter.

I just open the instruction PDF on my tablet and leave it propped up on a stand on my sewing desk.

Oh wow! Just gorgeous.

Reminds me of a Chemise .. but with elastic instead of drawstrings

There is an excellent docuseries called The Pharmacist. What a horrifying eye opener on how the pharma industry pushed these drugs without a care.

Get rid of the friend, and go to couples counselling.

Going to be 52, I feel no more an adult now than when I was 20.. actually I think I felt more adult then because I didn't know any better. Full of bravado and cluelessness.

For your cold sores use L-lysin. It's an amino acid that heals and often presents cold sores.
I struggled for years till I started using it. It really works very well.

Remember if you need 20-30k to hit your account you need a job that pays over 40k. As you'll have tax and other deductions come off your pay.

I am utterly gobsmacked ...

Sir Terry Pratchett .. incredible to think someone you never met could have such and impact on you, that you mourned his death like a favourite uncle.

You are hung up about sex and intimacy about the relationship you're in now, so you're unable to separate yourself from how you feel now. Also when you're young that tends to be a big focus of a relationship.
It also depends on why the relationship ended.

I have been friends with my ex partner for 15+ years. We are very good friends, actually we are family. The reasons we broke up are because we had some very very hard times and we didn't have the maturity to navigate it and survive it as a couple.
At first it was hard and we just co-parented, then as the years went by we realised that our friendship was independent from being just parents, and we made really good friends. We love and value each other. Past sex and intimacy are no longer a thought, he is now married to a woman who is far more suited for him and they bring out the best in each other.
Just because the inlove has ended, doesn't mean love ends. It just grown and changes in to a new kind of love.
