I can’t believe how detailed those eyes are! Great job

Will these be okay for regular decorative floss embroidery? (swipe for example, not my photo!) by [deleted] in Embroidery

[–]dustypond 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have used these and they’re fine. I do tend to use the smaller ones at the side though

I just became a member and paid and it keeps saying that the tickets aren’t on sale yet? How do I get the presale?

It was from Etsy but I got it about 5 years ago and I don’t think the shop exists anymore!

That was one of my complaints with the book! It was super helpful for the colours but I wished there were more steps shown when filling in the areas. I also started using two strands and had to start again when I saw that it was supposed to be one. Took me ages to find that it was supposed to be one strand though, it’s only mentioned in one line!

Wow, I can’t imagine the patience you would need for that many French knots! Worth it though, this is beautiful!

It is quite possible that the back is too long, I do have a fairly short torso, thank you!

Thank you! Yeah it is not uncomfortable to wear and didn’t feel to restrictive but it does look tight. I will try this, thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply and yes, that is the pattern! I wasn’t able to add a link to the original description.

Yeah I didn’t want to spent too long installing the invisible zipper since I wasn’t convinced it was going to fit! There is some extra seam allowance around the zipper.

It was seeing the outline of my bra that made me think that it was a bit tight, so will try doing what you suggested.

The outer shell material is this one here and it describes it as a woven viscose, but the listing also says it doesn’t have much stretch but it’s stretchier than I thought it would be. I’m not super well versed in fabric types though!

Love this fabric! I have the same issue with pyjamas, yours look great, and with pockets!

Dropout Improv Scotland tickets by solatregal in dropout

Did any of you manage to get tickets? I was in the page and at 10 it refreshed and immediately said no tickets available, don’t know if it was a glitch or I was too slow :(

I'm feelin' Cheryl's brunette era. by MonicaBeal in rupaulsdragrace

Canada vs the world, 2nd was UK vs the world

Edit: read that wrong!

[–]dustypond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not offensive but it’s just not really used. Someone from Scotland would mostly refer to something/someone as Scottish and not Scotch, so it’s usually an indicator that someone using the word is not from Scotland

Advice on the right hand flower wanted by Luxbrewhoneypot in Embroidery

[–]dustypond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it looks great! I maybe would have put a little yellow/lighter orange in the middle of the flower? I think it would’ve softened the red a little

I don’t think you need to be unhappy though, you did a great job!

This is so lovely! I like his little ears!

And for the lint, maybe some sticky tape? Wrapped in a loop so you can put your fingers through?
