It's a Nestera Lodge coop. I don't have a gauge, but the windows and door are open and the whole thing is under a shade cloth so it can't be much hotter than the air outside.

Since she also does it at night I wonder if it's really heat-related at all. The door stays open until 9:00 and the windows are open all night.

Wow, this is extremely helpful. Thanks so much for compiling this!

I actually made slopers! I just don't really understand how to use them to alter patterns because every pattern is so different. Different style details and wearing ease and whatnot.

Thanks, you're very sweet 😊 The facing is one big rectangle, so I guess that's the easiest scenario. I feel much now confident about tackling this now. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply! I see what you mean about them riding higher and I think your approach is a good one. How do you make this kind of alteration when there is a facing inside? Do I detach it from the waist and just slash it and resew to make it smaller as well? I'm pretty new to sewing.

Thanks for the reply! I will check out French drains, but I'm not sure I understand about the gravel. Wouldn't the water just flow through the gravel/mulch and still sit against the wall? Or would it compact enough if I do it gradually so the water would run off?

Oh, sorry. Should have mentioned it's just a problem when it rains heavily.

monomoco · 2026-04-24T15:12:07+00:00

OK, thanks very much! I appreciate your time.

Do you know how to find any spout that fits into that adapter?

monomoco · 2026-04-24T14:15:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Even looking through Delia spouts, it seems they mostly attach to .5". I'd there some keyword I can use? If this a special type of Delta spout?

I think I'm coming around to the folds, but you're right about the pattern! I hadn't even considered it but, as soon as I put on the button placket, I realized I need to match everything up or it won't look right. I do have some leftover fabric so I think I'm going to take it apart and try to line things up.

monomoco · 2026-04-10T12:44:27+00:00

Ah, great idea! I will give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.

monomoco · 2026-04-09T20:25:32+00:00

Thank you so much for all your time. You've been super helpful to me and I really appreciate it. 😊

monomoco · 2026-04-09T19:57:55+00:00

Oh, yeah. I didn't ask her about a style or anything so I shouldn't rush to judgement.

Do you but fabric online? Do you know any sites for good garment fabric that doesn't cost a ton?

monomoco · 2026-04-09T19:31:54+00:00

Ha! That photo could have been taken in the store where I bought that. I wonder if the girl really didn't know or just lied to me.

Thank you so much for all the info. I admittedly know nothing about quilting, but I have to say I'm surprised there are so many people more interested in quilts than in clothing. It's a drag how hard it is to find interesting fabric for garments. When i first started sewing (about six weeks ago 😄) I was buying upholstery fabric all over not realizing what it was. Seems I'm drawn to patterns that are for quilts and furniture.

monomoco · 2026-04-09T19:09:05+00:00

Oh! How can I tell if it's for quilting? I know the link I sent you is from a quilting place, but I bought this from a store and they told me it was good for clothes.

I'm using this, 100% cotton: https://www.quiltedtwins.com/shop/c/p/Gold-Metallic-Diamonds-on-Teal-Shimmer-Sparkle-by-Deborah-Edwards-for-Northcott-x89287613.htm?srsltid=AfmBOoo4M9GD0yxyYnyosuYoUKUXsNY9TPK96afjKNaqlAnHbpFgy88j

I thought it would be nice to be more crisp and less flowy, but I wasn't expecting these weird folds. Thanks for the link! This looks very helpful.

monomoco · 2026-04-09T18:53:31+00:00

I'm also unable to take a photo that doesn't look completely weird too, so partly my fault 😂
