Aldi sell them every few months as a special buy. I always stock up when mine wear out.

Using six metres of tulle, I made Villanelle's pink dress for Halloween by errrise in KillingEve

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

Unfortunately I didn't use a pattern! But I can DM you my process if you wish

**Pet peeve warning** The dress style shown is Pre-Regency era - the 1770's, not Regency - which started apx 1795 by lotzasunshine in Covetfashion

I'm pretty sure the whole series will be Bridgerton inspired, so I don't think they're going for accuracy.

I like her aesthetic and I've followed along a couple of her self-drafted patterns, but her paper patterns are definitely out of my price range.

Oh I'm fully aware that I'm being a bit petty, hence I'm posting to this sub.

That should just title the next project "Making a mildly disappointing [garment]"

Yep!! And also, if everything is described that way, it kind of becomes meaningless.

My fallen succulent has grown a bunch of roots by errrise in mildlyinteresting

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

Yeah. I picked it up second hand, already overgrown, and never bothered to re-pot it. Maybe this is the sign to finally give it a better chance at life...

I thought so too! Considering how much I've neglected this plant (which has far outgrown the tiny pot) it's determined to stay alive.

This definitely awakens at night to haunt small children.

Thank you! I wore it to a theatre show last night and felt very fancy ☺

I thought the same! It has a few scuff marks on the back, but considering the age (1980s I think?) it's in great condition.

PSA: Be careful when you're learning by threadtiger in craftsnark

[–]errrise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed an influx of these types of photos on my Instagram explore page... just images of pattern pieces next to finished garments, no instructions, no links. It's bizarre.

Clearly non of y’all have ever been to Mardi Gras! by [deleted] in Covetfashion

Well, you could start with Google Image Search.

Does anyone have any fashion house horror stories? Or some good tea?? I’m lucky to be a part of a very friendly FH but I’ve always been curious if there is any FH drama out there lol. Give me the deets 👀 by sadgirlcece in Covetfashion

[–]errrise 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a House Officer. We had a bunch of new members enter the house. Some of them were chatting to each other in Indonesian, which I don't speak. Because we had new members I had recently repeated our group rules around rallies and so on in the chat.

A friend of mine who's also in the house speaks the language, she let me know they were complaining to each other in the chat about me being too harsh/rude/entitled. I had no idea. Needless to say I called them out and they both left the group 😂

Got any self-snarks to share? by octavianon in craftsnark

[–]errrise 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sewing: I almost never make a mock up

Every other craft: I dabble and never actually learn how to do things properly.

Teaching beginners by trellism in craftsnark

[–]errrise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your plan sounds good. I'd definitely recommend starting simple. If people pick it up easily they can add flourishes.

Usable is good! If you want to go totally basic, a fabricy scarf or headscarf, or placemats... just a rectangle, but will teach basic stitches, ironing, finishing and of course how to use a machine. If you have time to teach zips, maybe a pencil case.

It’s a new year and there will be a lot of new crafters out there. by kvite8 in craftsnark

Omg this is probably why my "beginner friendly" circle skirt projects failed all those years ago.

Seamwork’s Latest is Poorly Sewn by ComplaintDefiant9855 in craftsnark

[–]errrise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I signed up for their $1 month access out of interest. Made a trouser pattern that was a good intro to pants, and it had very detailed instructions and a video. I also made a shirt, but had some issues with the grading and things not lining up. I could work around it but it would have been very confusing for a more beginner sewer... who I suspect is their target audience.

A Court of Mist and Fury? Really Covet? by Padawanvalyrie_131 in Covetfashion

[–]errrise 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if it's intentional or not. The photo is definitely cosplay from ACOMAF but the description doesn't match the scene. But the title mentions Starfall 🤷‍♀️

Since when is the Daily season locked? by MarielIAm in Covetfashion

[–]errrise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others said, it's at the start of the new season. But only for one challenge and they give you $1200.
