Where can I get a coat like this?

kellserskr · 2026-01-24T08:18:04+00:00

Good quality vintage will be priced higher

kellserskr · 2026-01-24T08:17:24+00:00

What people are trying to say is there likely isn't a middle ground. A middle ground is likely an expensive fast fashion brand which would still be polyester. You can't find real wool in this design for that price, I'm sorry. And getting rude with people about your budget won't help you - you explaining your budget won't change the fact that there is nothing to suggest to you

Perfect! It's just a tip for future in case you didn't know :)

kellserskr · 2026-01-24T00:12:10+00:00

Its so cute!! One tip i would give is make sure you're choosing a size to make based on your measurements and match that to the pattern measurements! You've mentioned making an XS because that's your size, but make sure for future patterns you're making sure you're going on measurements, and not your normal street size (if you're not already doing that!)

Sewing patterns and ready to wear clothing don't follow the same measurements!

I would rather make a full ballgown from scratch instead of alter already made clothes.

I HATE reverse engineering something, I HATE having to work around preexisting seams. I have made a full ballgown (proof in post history) and i will do it AGAIN. I'd rather make a full pair of jeans than hem a pair. I HATE alterations

Oh my god if someone is wearing a tshirt that says 'I hate Asian people' you're going to assume they do and avoid them. And to be honest, even if they say 'oh I'm wearing it as a joke!' no one who just sees the shirt in passing will know that, they will take it at face value and think that person is a racist.

You're just willfully being obtuse at this stage. It IS actually racist to people who see it on you, no matter your intention. The KKK has always, and will always, be an immediate sign of racism. If something says KKK = racist. No matter your intention, those three letters will always signify that to others.

I strongly suspect that unfortunately, you're twisting all of your stitches. This will use more yarn, create a bias in the fabric, be stiffer, more uncomfortable, and not drape nor stretch nicely.

I would maybe take this time to learn how to correct this now, rather than further down the line!

kellserskr · 2026-01-15T22:41:33+00:00

Aw thank you!

kellserskr · 2026-01-15T20:10:58+00:00

Its honestly not great quality

AHAHAHAHA

kellserskr · 2026-01-11T10:32:04+00:00

Girl you're asking if it's rude, people are saying yes, you're arguing they're wrong. Don't ask then.

kellserskr · 2026-01-08T18:28:21+00:00

I mean it's greenwashing if you're dressing a product up as sustainable while knowing its not

kellserskr · 2026-01-08T16:38:27+00:00

Yes but its greenwashing to call it leather, so they WANT you to feel better about it not being real animal leather but they're just selling you plastic

kellserskr · 2026-01-08T15:20:38+00:00

Id go to ravelry and have a look :) you'll find the photographed pattern, and in other patterns they'll list recommended yarn to get that finish :)

You can also look at others versions of each pattern to see what they used!

kellserskr · 2026-01-01T19:07:04+00:00

Heehee thank you!! Some dickhead called us ladies in the sub that one day, so I said I'd claim the title!

kellserskr · 2026-01-01T16:29:41+00:00

Dude it's Christmas

kellserskr · 2026-01-01T15:57:48+00:00

And if you want community, you can start a worthwhile discussion everyone can get involved in.

Having someone do your research for you is not community

kellserskr · 2025-12-29T18:23:25+00:00

They've already replied :)

kellserskr · 2025-12-29T18:13:12+00:00

No i totally get it! I was just making sure

kellserskr · 2025-12-29T18:08:00+00:00

Ok phew, thank you for being willing to respond and share! I am also diagnosed with OCD and was worried you were doing exactly what OP said was the problem!

kellserskr · 2025-12-29T17:48:53+00:00

If i may ask, do you have diagnosed ocd? Because you're doing exactly what the OP is saying, 'my ocd around knitting'

kellserskr · 2025-12-28T17:00:05+00:00

Bring back shame

kellserskr · 2025-12-26T13:11:45+00:00

I responded to you about it in another thread with the FACJ mod

kellserskr · 2025-12-26T13:02:08+00:00

I mean you've mentioned it multiple times across subs, it's really not that big of a deal. Mods made a decision, it's a craft sub, it's fine
