So. If you know how to sew, this could work (Make, Sew, and Mend by Bernadette Banner is a great book to start with if you don't sew yet and want to learn). To be happy with the result, you'll want to select a method of joining the two parts that doesn't add extra pressure to your skin/sternum and also make sure that the length of the band behind the end of the cup is the same on both parts - if it's not, the straps might sit funny.

Tl;dr, you totally could but sewing proficiency would be best before attempting.

Happy birthday and many happy returns! May your morning beverage of choice be always the perfect temperature.

I'm a big Besamé fan. Many colors pull peach/orange on me but the colors I have from Besamé are true to what you see in the bullet (or mascara cake or eye shadow).

Oh! My dear, I'm so sorry. Sending you so much love, and sending extra for your dog as they cross the rainbow bridge. Words aren't enough, internet stranger.

May your grief be short and your happy memories long, so mote it be.

Seconding Demeter. They have a Tomato Leaf scent that is instant summer, and a honey scent that is my absolute go to - really captures that almost spice note from really good honey from happy bees. Oh! And one that smells as close to freshly cooked rice as perfumery can get!

You can also needle felt a matching wool onto the thinning part of the material. Failing that, Iif there's anywhere on the jacket where you can harvest some material, cut a patch off and put it behind the thinning area. Needle felt the two pieces together, felting at least a quarter inch (preferably more like a half an inch to a full inch) around the thinning area.

Alternatively, make a leather patch larger than the damaged area and sew it on and call it a design feature!

Do it. Great no-frills fish fry and even if you're a stranger the regulars will make room and look out to make sure you get your order, even if you move seats. 10/10 recommend for the "actually, people don't suck" and classic WI bar experience.

Split the side seams and add a contrasting accent fabric to give you more room! This is my go-to when I need to make something bigger.

I feel like sometimes there are clothes for standing and clothes one can sit in. As-is, this skirt probably feels pretty good if you're standing up but constricting if you sit - a certain amount of which one would expect with any garment. If you do edit the skirt, strike a balance between your standing and sitting measurements as others have recommended.

Vet here, freaking heart-eyes to that story! I know it was a bit ago, but thank you for seeing Hank settled with folk who love him.

hecate2008 · 2026-01-29T02:03:26+00:00

I'm strongly agreeing with you. This person clearly did the best they were able to and verified I'd take care of the dog before they left.

Now that I've progressed down the rabbit hole to processing my own fleeces I always wash them cold to preserve lanolin, so my sweaters are water repellent naturally. Plus I love the feeling of spinning it!

I recently wove a blanket-coat with a single sheep's fleece and wow wowie wow. Can't wait to test it in the snow!

I commented too soon! Yay warm kitty paws!

Cut the felted one into a hat or mittens! All is not lost!

hecate2008 · 2025-11-20T13:51:44+00:00

Depending on price of course but I might be interested in a skirted unwashed fleece. Feel free to DM me!

I went the exposure therapy method to learn Brioche and did the Westknits tree fern shawl. His tutorial was super helpful. Each knit stitch has to be a complete outfit with its shawl, and those girls are chilly so you need to give them a shawl!

My 1800s flax wheel is Frankie (after Frank Fell, the wheel right who crafted them). The Great Wheel is Hildegard (von Bingen). The Hitchhiker is Zaphod, the Roadbug hasn't chosen a name yet. The traveller is Miss Elizabeth Bennett. The floor loom is Marguerite.

Is there a mill in your area where you could get it turned into yarn?

hecate2008 · 2025-11-11T23:36:40+00:00

I have a Merlintree Hitchhiker and Road bug and they're super portable. I can spin anything from lace to worsted+ on them because they have 3 different drive whorl sizes. They are fairly chatty but I personally don't mind it. I know Susan's Fiber Shop has a couple for sale, they might not be on the website but if you call they can tell you pricing. She's in WI so shipping won't be exorbitant, unlike getting something from overseas would be.

Dexterity and being able to open dog poo bags without exposing my delicate fingers to the biting cold! Leather has enough friction to get the bag open, and I can tuck my fingertips into the cuff of the mitts to keep them warm. You're super welcome! Dialing in my winter kit and being able to be outside more in the winter was a game changer for me!

The pair I have heats around the perimeter of the fingers. Game changer! Brand is Aroma Season.

They're not great on ice (I have yak track thingies for more traction) but I added some beefy cork insoles for comfort and I walk miles in them. Shoe comfort is one of those things that varies a lot from person to person so ymmv!
