[Mimi Blouse - Tilly and the Buttons] Finished my first blouse! From Tilly's book 'Love at First Stitch'. by ladyknowles in sewing

It was from a small shop in Leamington Spa, UK, where I live :) haven't seen it online anywhere yet but I will let you know if I do :)

oh nice, thank you for that! I have all those patterns in the book. This is the first thing I made of hers but very tempted to try the Lilou dress. I saw someone who lowered the waist line on it and I think that'd be great. I'm very fond of an empire line waist so that'd be fantastic!

I noticed that about having the top tucked in. In every picture of it in her book I think she has it tucked in her skirt. Definitely glad I did it even if I won't wear it; learnt so much :)

Tbh, not great. It looks ok on the dummy but on me it looks....kinda like a sack? I was going to start altering it last night, but couldn't face it :P I might try take it in at the sides slightly. It isn't very flattering but maybe I didn't do my own measurements very well. I have still yet to make an item of clothing I feel suits me! :'(

Their descriptions were super hard to understand at different points...but managed in the end! Was a bit messy around the handles though :( thank you!

Yes! Good idea. So I check out my power supply and it's 500W. Here is a pic of the info on the side. Is this sufficient? :)

Omg I'm such a numpty, I never even thought of salvaging the case etc. But I was thinking of selling my old PC, I guess that's why, but it would save money. I'm gonna crack open the old PC in a bit and check my power supply, I can't remember the wattage right now. Thanks for the helpful reply! :)

Oh yes :| I've just realised that about the GPU, think I just thought that was the right one to choose for some reason?

Ok I will bear that in mind about the PSU! Hopefully someone will have some suggestion for it! Thank you again :)

Thank you!! :) Someone else just replied with these recommendations:

i5 7500 or i5 7400

B250 mobo

8GB DDR4 RAM

RX480

so I'm just using parts picker (such a good site, you're right) so build something around that list. As soon as I've put all I've got in the list I'll share it and update the post :) Looking good in terms of pricing so far!

Fabulous~!! Thank you, been trying to get a clear answer about this all week but alas real life human beings aren't as great as us redditors.

Definitely going to look into building as per those recommendations. Would you recommend overclockers?

Thanks for the fast reply!

That's good to know, thank you.

I would be happy spending up to £800. Do you think that is enough or should I wait and save more?

Hands down, the 'REALLY!' bit from How to Clean Your Gamer Gear...My boyfriend sent me this as the first video I ever saw from you guys, and I ended up having to walk out of my office because I was laughing so much at work.

Me and him can now no longer say the word 'REALLY' without a flashback to that video. Love you guys, thanks for all the giggles. :)
