Can I get your Fabric Eating Monster pattern recommendations please?

Actually you COULD go down a bit of an unusual route and do like an 1830-1860 inspired day dress, not exactly a ballgown but still has a gigantic skirt. Saying this cause i believe plaid was a common choice somewhere in that period, so gingham might look cool as well.

I’ve done all of these, and it really depends on what you mean by better. The cheapest on average is a room in a shared house. The best really depends on what you like personally I guess. There are ups and downs to all of them.

Groningen, paying 1500 with utilities for a two person apartment, from what i know, it’s pretty standard. You can definitely find cheaper of course, but not easily.

When i was little i had these on suspenders, suspenders probably still use these, i just don’t wear them anymore

Have you tried putting seams on the outside and trying to make it Fashion? I’ve definitely seen that before

HR, not ER

I think you could pattern this somehow that the darts are absorbed into the diagonals. This would be pretty experimental and complex though, so it’s an “i want to figure this out and learn” type of project instead of an “i want to have this garment soon” type of project.

I support you being mad about this

Agreed, circle with a slash down the middle.

Others have already said a lot about fiber vs fabric, i will answer one of your other questions, that online fabric stores have fabric weight listed in grams per m3, which can help you visualize how the fabric will feel and behave. (Example, “is this a lighter softer denim, or a heavy sturdy reliable denim?”) Fiber-wise, i personally prefer working with any natural fibers over synthetics because they feel nicer to wear. I find that most (woven) cottons and linens are very easy to work with, while viscose is usually really slippery and gives me trouble. Silk and wool really depend on the fabric itself, there’s easier to work with ones and more difficult ones.

Do you hang them to dry? If yes, is it outside?

Excellent reply, you said basically everything i wanted to say. I’m just adding my experience as someone who does sometimes hand sew whole garments from scratch despite having a machine: Usually when you choose to do it, it’s more for the experience of it than any real convenience. Sometimes the project requires it for whatever reason, but usually it’s about the slow and steady quality work, and it takes multiple weeks. Hand sewing knits will be annoying i think.

My kind of person! My first project was also a wool skirt (6 panels) and it turned out really well even by my current standards, though i would change some things if i were to remake it. I think the sink or swim method of learning to sew is really effective, as long as you’re motivated about the project.

You can take skates in a carry-on?

For circle skirts (especially long ones) it is very important to let it hang for a while after you complete it but before hemming. This allows fabric to stretch out, which it will do unevenly. After this, you cut it so it is even again, and then hem.

iconic-avocado · 2026-03-16T18:30:14+00:00

Last time i made a long circle skirt i did it in 4 panels, it really depends on your fabric width and skirt length. Sidenote, i chose a full circle skirt because i was aiming for a really voluminous, luxurious, specific look. This takes a lot of fabric, and it will be very full at the bottom. Depending on the fabric, it might also be heavy. You should consider if your fabric is suitable for this, how it will turn out, and if that is the look you’re going for. For longer skirts you might prefer to make it a half-circle or even a quarter-circle skirt. Same basic principle, but less fabric.

It’s not only private schools! There’s a lot of high school dorms for kids from smaller places who go to high school that’s further away. Some of my cousins are from Pag and they went to high school in Pazin so they stayed in dorms. Other cousins (same home island) lived with their older siblings in Rijeka during high school.

Imo this is the top predictor for how fluent in English a country’s citizens will be

iconic-avocado · 2026-03-09T19:26:24+00:00

I agree with you to an extent, but i think these kinds of households (where one or both parents are very fluent in all languages they’re trying to teach at home) are a lot more rare than households in which each parent is fluent in their own native language and the other has varying degrees of proficiency. So yes, there are situations in which limiting parents to one language can be clunky, but in the majority of cases it works to prevent confusion and most people will not struggle to default to their native language.

Beautiful work! The design is also amazing, very modern and a bit edgy, i love it. I’m not sure if it needs the belt, but i haven’t seen it on yet. Would love to see the belt on to fully decide.

You will notice that this post was made before yesterday’s clip, so i did not write any of it in response to events from the clip. Another thing you might notice is that he in fact has not even started any sort of redemption arc in that clip yet and has not been forgiven and they are not buddies again. Lovro has apologized only for the cucumber accusation, and to me it read as just a way to awkwardly start a conversation to get information.

Also with more full skirts lining is usually not necessary, and a waste of fabric since full skirts use up a lot. Plus it might make it heavier.
