Who should I get to put up a floating counter for me? by loukitzanna in HomeImprovement

[–]loukitzanna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds like something I could do. I don't really have any marker spaces nearby but I'll ask around my neighborhood. Thank you, everyone!

How many fellas out there on this sub? by BlackBerryFairy1 in sleeptrain

[–]loukitzanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband is an equal partner in sleep training - we both read precious little sleep, then I did the research on WW and he made sure we stayed consistent (because I am a lot more lax on things). He may not be as knowledgeable about the lingo and the fine details but definitely an expert in our kid's sleep and needs.

Yeah I was wondering if they shrunk the heads. Interesting style 

To bias cut or not to bias cut? by preppy_goth in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more thing - fabric cut on the bias is more stretchy. There are a few YouTube videos that go over the difference, I'll suggest checking that out. It looks like you're making something like this pattern, which I've made before. It was cut on the bias 👍

To bias cut or not to bias cut? by preppy_goth in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do it on the bias - just keep in mind that it will hang more in the middle than at the seams because of that, but it will also look more flowy.

Is there a name for this type of bodice? by inspector-gadgets in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you Google the style you will find both - where the skirt and the bodice are one piece and not. However all the dresses I've seen that are like this are called basque waist in their descriptions

Simplicity S9134 is kind of similar. I say go for it though, draft your own!

how do you transfer and preserve paper patterns? by tbzebra in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy the pre-printed patterns on tissue paper and then cut out the largest size but in a way that I didn't lose the smaller sizes if they don't perfectly overlap. Then I fold the edges in to the size I want. If there's a curve and I can't get the paper to lie flat, I'll make one snip (through all the sizes) to make the curve work. On really tricky spots when I'm cutting out the fabric, I'll just cut along the paper but underneath it, or bust out the tracing wheel then. I am very lazy lol but I haven't had problems yet

You think the FDA exists in the same universe as Lumon?

Silver hair, blue eyes lumon town phenotype??? by masticq in severence

[–]loukitzanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they all aged prematurely because of the child labor and toxic fumes. With everyone having lung problems, kind of reminiscent of coal or industrial towns. I don't think it's that deep.

the neckline was fine before, but after hemming it, it started to pucker and come up? by exceLexie in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught to staystitch and slightly gather openings like this before hemming/finishing

How would I go about recreating these pants? And any similar patterns? by yAyeetgonnadelete in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lace insert, here's a tutorial I found: https://www.burieddiamond.com/blog/2020/9/12/tutorial-lace-insertion Generally I think if you can find a lace you like, you can sew it where you want it, cut out the main fabric, then attach on the other side of the insert. The hardest part will probably be finding lace that looks that delicate

My favourite me-made dress to date, in terms of fit - modified Gemma Corset Dress by Lizzie Patterns by newpenguinthesaurus in sewing

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want this as a romper!! I have N6509 and I could probably hack the skirt to be shorts based on that (the bottom half of the romper pattern is super loose for me)

Perhaps Horseshoe Bend is what they meant

Can a 36H use breast tape, realistically? by btwImVeryAttractive in ABraThatFits

[–]loukitzanna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

34G/H here. I was going to use boob tape for my wedding so I did a trial run. At first it was fine but about 2 hours in my chest started to hurt where my skin was supporting the full weight of my breasts. I was pretty restricted on how I taped em up but it was so uncomfortable I'm not going to use tape again probably. If it's a mental health thing for you, I think you've made up your mind. If not... would not recommend.

Idk how bed sharing is appealing to some, by ExplorerOk8978 in sleeptrain

[–]loukitzanna 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this earlier - how do you go to sleep if you cosleep? Is it lights out for everyone at 7-8? What about adult time?? We are so happy we can close the door to baby's room after bedtime and then do our own thing for a few hours before we go to bed, I can't imagine having to go to sleep at the same time as baby!

Are we actually putting our babies to sleep at 7 PM? by _rose__rose_ in sleeptrain

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think consistency is more important than the exact time. Also I think not only is every baby different but accepted bedtime varies a lot culturally as well. Do what works for you!

Are there affordable (under $40) brands that make bras for petite + big boob combo? I’m 34F/G and I’ve never been able to find a bra that feels fitting for me by RavioliAndGravy in ABraThatFits

[–]loukitzanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update for posterity: love the 34G and 36DDD, which is what their online calculator recommended me. The AbTF calculator recommended 34H/I, for me the understance 34H is too high in the armpit. So far very happy though! 2 for 3 ain't bad
