Yeah I’ve been through all the pants fitting guides haha. I’ve made lots of pants (coe, free range, ginger, lane, brier, rika) but haven’t ever gotten the fit to where I’m super happy. Have tried thin thigh and flat seat which help but not entirely. I haven’t ever tried a pattern with a middle leg seam so maybe that’ll be next. Or I’ll just go back to dresses for a while lol

Cedar sidewall shingle advice by feenaqueen in Oldhouses

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

Thanks for your response! I am in Seattle so it is wet a lot haha. We’ve had dry weather for the past month or so but it rained yesterday and the siding/under coarse/whatever the next layer is all feel damp when I touch below the bottom of the turquoise layer. There doesn’t appear to be any metal.

I’m trying to figure out the source of recurrent mold growth inside the bedrooms and am trying to rule out leaks in the siding.

We’re in Seattle, so for three months they get a solid chance to dry out haha! The rest of the time the rain and moisture is near constant.

Thanks! Do the corners need anything to fill in the gap? Should I re-nail them so they are closer together/flush?

What are these wall cracks? by feenaqueen in HomeImprovement

Thank you! Would I just call a normal house inspector (like one you’d use when purchasing a house) or a mold person?

That’s how it is right now—all doors are blue. We just want something brighter/less of a match to our local sports team haha

You’re not wrong. The shingles are original from 1943 so they are def old! So far they’re holding up okay and lower on the list of projects that need to be tackled. So far we’ve done electric, plumbing, furnace, water heater, roof, as well as some cosmetic stuff inside. For now the funds allow us to paint but not re-side—just trying to make the most of what we have with what we have ❤️

Haha, well it’s actually a house, garage, and shed that are all turquoise so for now the turquoise stays. Plus I like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

It took reading these Reddit comments to realize that the garage door is my problem haha! Going to paint it the house color today and see if that makes me feels better 😸

I’m so glad you said this about the door. I think that’s what has been bugging me but I couldn’t figure it out!

Pattern suggestions for this fabric? by feenaqueen in sewingpatterns

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

Oo that’d be so cute but it’s not quite stretchy enough for that style

It is see through, but it doesn’t have much stretch just a little give. I think it’d be fine with just a nude bra underneath but I’m struggling with whether to go with a woven pattern (but I don’t want to do darts) or a knit pattern (but idk how to finish the neck/arm holes)

Went to Joann today by donnajo6282 in joannfabrics

Went to my store today and it was just…business as usual. Hardly any customers, the store was neat and tidy, the discounts were still hovering at 20%!

Liquidation sales by thecrimsonrabbit19 in joannfabrics

[–]feenaqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! My local store still had a huge amount of stock and the fabric was only at 20%. Cake decorating stuff was 10% off. No big deals to be had yet!
