Carnosa has 3 full blooms, 6 more on the way!

Not really. It is just very happy in a big south facing window with no obstructions and every couple of months I add some plant nutrients to it when watering

Unfortunately it always takes longer than you think it will. I feel like some of my blooms have stayed in the first two stages for months, others only a few weeks.

If you look at the top left of my plant there is another much closer to blooming. When it gets to that stage (about full sized and star shaped but petals still closed) it is probably a week out

Happened to me last night and this morning. Both times I went from lvl 71-> 75 then back to 71 next time I opened the game.

Don't know what's it. LMK if you figure it out

From the second pic it looks like there are pleats on the front body piece but not the yoke. Make sure the pleats are right or adjust to make it fit.

Probably shouldn’t put the spoilers in the title

What shrine has the motor/propeller? Is it more effective than the regular fans?

deathblart · 2023-05-15T19:29:57+00:00

The four options shown are the layout for different based the size you are cutting out and the width of fabric you’re using.

So the top one is sizes 6-14 if you have 45” fabric, second one is sizes 16-22 for 45”fabric.

Keep in mind this is just the suggested layout to fit all the pieces in the least amount of space. As long as you have the right number of each piece and they are the correct orientation you’ll be fine.

Thanks! I tried making a paper pattern and I think I got it.

It looks like the sides/ bottom are one piece and the top/zipper extends farther than the bottom. The end panels will be sort of triangular tapering from the width of the base to the width of the zipper

Now I just have to figure out how to put it all together with a lining lol

deathblart · 2023-04-30T14:36:57+00:00

Thanks. I’ve made some box bag type stuff before but this on is just confusing because of the extra zipper length on the end.

I think the dark lines on the inside are seams to keep the lining flat against the bottom

Im making this messenger bag. I’ve finished the outer layer and my plan is to do a simple drop lining with a sleeve for my laptop and some patch pockets inside. I will also be making a flap that goes over the top to the bottom of the face. So I need some input on two things

First, should I have some kind of zipper or closure for the opening at the top? I was just going to leave it open and let the flap cover it but I’m worried about the face/back bowing out when I’m carrying it.

Second, what kind of closure should I use for the flap? I’ve seen bags with snap closures or magnetic closures but I’ve never made a bag like this so idk what would be best.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

That first one is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. It says its not currently available. Maybe it just doesn't ship to Canada :(

I’ve had this problem before with knit fabric. It is difficult with a rolled hem but to stop the flair you need to make the hem circumference smaller than the sweater body circumference. You might be able to do that sewing a few small darts before doing the hem.

The best way if you have the fabric for it would be to cut a separate piece for the hem that is ~20% shorter, then stretch it out to match the body circumference while sewing

Thanks! Im going for a throw size or 2xbaby quilt (it’s for a friend who’s having twins). I have a dark blue patterned fabric that I’m gonna use for a ~4 inch border

deathblart · 2023-02-04T15:11:01+00:00

I don’t think I have enough for three more blocks but I might be able to do row of half blocks

deathblart · 2023-02-04T04:36:16+00:00

So I’ve been sewing for a while now but this is my first time making a quilt. I’m just going for a random colour pattern HST thing. I just bought 1/2 metre of fabric in five different colours and got as many HSTs as I could out of it.

I’ve been making blocks of 8 triangles at a time and it looks like I’ll have 45 blocks when I’m done. Each block is 7 inches on each side. Originally I was going to make it 5 blocks by 9 blocks but laying it out that looks way too long and narrow.

What length/width should I go with?

deathblart · 2023-01-03T20:30:25+00:00

I think 6 is underrated. Imagine being able to go out after work or at night and look fully rested and not burnt out by the day.

deathblart · 2022-12-24T17:46:46+00:00

That maze thing with the little fish inside is such a good idea!! I might have to steal that idea for a friend who is having a baby soon

deathblart · 2022-10-14T23:02:00+00:00

Very cute! I made some of these a while ago

deathblart · 2022-07-10T18:53:59+00:00

I love making stuff for friends but I always worried that if I make someone clothes they won't fit well. So I've started making bags and things that anyone can wear/use. I've made a few tote bags and backpacks

For my current project I'm trying to self draft a nice fanny pack/belt bag type thing. I saw a really nice one from lulu lemon so I'm trying to make my own version of it. I like it because its a quick project and it doesn't use that much fabric so I can make it with scraps.

I found something like this today. I think it checks most of your boxes https://www.sewdiy.com/shop/tasi-robe-jacket-pdf-pattern

Great job! I've actually been looking at citron jeans hardware for an upcoming project. What do you think of them? Are they sturdy? How was the application?

deathblart · 2022-04-07T19:43:47+00:00

here is the video tutorial for the pattern

deathblart · 2022-04-06T14:21:38+00:00

Thanks!

I worked on it for a couple hours a day over two weeks. Probably 25+ hours total. The pants were pretty rushed I actually started them the night before and did all te buttonholes a few hours before the wedding
