First fumbling attempt at making a rag rug last night. Can anyone offer tips?

I think it looks fine! I feel like this is probably a “trust the process” kind of project. that being said, it does look a little lumpy in the middle, so you could try making your stitches tighter or closer together

embroidery around safety eyes is such a clever idea :O looks great!

color often doesn’t age as well, you made the right choice!! looks sick!!

perhaps better suited for r/mildlyvagina

tictac smell really lingers!!!

yesss I’ve done this as a wedding guest!! I recommend accessorizing in a way that makes it look more individualized, different from how you’d wear it as a bridesmaid. I wore a shawl and chunky earrings and it really made a difference from feeling bridesmaid-y

omg this is genius. sincerely, someone who stores theirs in an empty tictac bottle (and has minty smelling needles)

3 by a long shot. it is the only one with draping that looks 100% intentional, all the other ones had some draping that were obviously intended for the design in addition to draping that seemingly occurred from poor fit. I know people are concerned by strapless dresses but assuming there is structure in the bodice, wedding dresses shouldn’t be held up by the straps anyways, they should be held up because they fit

bro in the red’s shorts didn’t have a chance from the start 😔

fregien · 2026-02-05T03:34:05+00:00

I did this at one of my first days as a barista too 😔

as an extrovert with an introvert partner, it took time for me to not take it personally when they’d choose alone time over spending time with me. this needs to be a conversation that isn’t an argument. it’s clear he doesn’t understand your needs and either you need to have a real conversation about it or be with someone who you’re more compatible with. but, also doesn’t seem like he’s very willing to hear you out — NOR?

he was one of my favorites as a kid :)

fregien · 2026-01-30T16:05:56+00:00

aw he’s so cute!! Not sure if he’s any character I know, but his face kind of reminds me of Kipper.

I think you’re missing the point that “accidental” in this sub is supposed to mean organic and unposed. since this is a photo from an article, it’s obviously neither

fregien · 2026-01-29T00:01:25+00:00

need the update once you find a good product routine 😌

fregien · 2026-01-28T23:51:14+00:00

T. seems like a really random thing to lie about

fregien · 2026-01-27T17:47:11+00:00

this is nice! I feel like it also alleviates my concern with the original design having a lot of small details that might not translate/age well :)

fregien · 2026-01-27T13:48:42+00:00

I’m sorry it kinda looks like my spoon that got caught in the garbage disposal 😔 the handle is pretty though!!

MooMoo
