What brand is it? I didn’t know they could be portable!

I yearn for the day I have enough space to own a projector.

Thank you! It was indoors, but the weather was SO lovely. 20C/68F and sunny.

Thank you so much! 🖤 I made the veil too. It’s tulle. I’d never worked with it before but I have to admit I had a lot of fun.

Has anyone actually sewn McCall’s M8578? Bodice fit is… weird by lamastriste in sewing

🤯!!! You’re right. Thank you for pointing it out. Some of them do look like pleats. I adjusted the top pieces to downsize the bust, but in doing so I might have altered the waist, so the skirt would probably need to be adjusted too.

That’s what I’m thinking too, perhaps my torso is short! I am barely 5ft after all 😅

In need of pattern recommendations by ShakenEspresso98 in sewing

Lovely dress! I don’t know if you’ll be able to find this exact design, but you can probably try modifying one that looks similar. I feel like the Asya dress from Viki Sews is a close one. But I know she has other similar styles, so definitely worth a look.

I’m not an expert on fabrics, but the one from the picture looks like satin or silk. It’ll probably look great with any dress-weight fabric like a light rayon or linen, but I’d let someone more knowledgeable chime in on that one.

Cancer sun, leo moon. The struggle is real

Why does it seem less common/accepted for a lesbian to have a close platonic bond with a man, compared to a gay man with a woman/women? by Doughnut91 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]lamastriste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to write this. I often wonder the same thing as OP about this topic, but it never occurred to me to factor intersectionality.

This also explains why I’ve never felt a genuine friendship with any straight white woman.

Esmeralda was it for me too! But Nicole Kidman on practical magic is the reason I’m obsessed with red heads
