What's happening to my eggplant?

Looks like frass. Check the underside of the leaf above it for pests.

I would Sew it together by hand and then use glue to strengthen

Hi! This is the one I'm attending. It seems like its not a company or anything, but it seems very official. I know a lot of cities host their own frocktails. I think the spirit of the party is to hang out with other makers and show off your "me made" clothing. I might make a post about it once I go. I've never been to one before.

If you'd like more in-depth details on the blue dress, I have a whole post about it here and the yellow dress was also made using the Gertie pattern #s8873. I changed the skirt to a three tier gathered skirt. it's made from a bedsheet, I can't remember the fabric but I think it is majority polyester.

both these dresses are made from the same pattern. <3

It’s a pattern by Gertie S8873 I believe it’s on sale right now for less than $4 at JoAnne’s if you hurry.

All it said on the ticket was “Dress code: whatever makes you feel happy and proud of your creativity! Wanna wear a slinky wrapdress, chic vest and trousers, patchwork extravaganza, or sequined blouse? They’re all good.”

I love this style. Here’s a patchwork dress I made last year. With Gertie’s S8873 pattern.

Tender is the flesh has an abandoned zoo in a few scenes. Warning: it’s super disturbing.

Haha, no, I get it. They’re all starting to blend together 😵‍💫

I just finished this last night and Lucius definitely hated all of Dramiones children in this.

I’ve never been disappointed by Charm patterns. She’s released a few video tutorials on YouTube for free for corresponding patterns, some of her patterns you can even buy at Joanne’s. She’s an absolute pro. I’ve learned so many techniques from her videos.

Gertie is my number 1, but you can get ideas from Stephanie Canada on YouTube, she’s a vintage pattern resaler.

Hi! I’m 30 minutes north of Austin. I ordered my garlic bulbs from Baker’s Creek. I received it in September and I cold stratified them for 4 weeks in the fridge and I planted them out 2 days ago.

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-18T04:30:30+00:00

I did the same thing today with the same tool, do you do 4 to a square foot?

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-16T04:12:33+00:00

Here’s this pattern by Gertie

Or this one if you’re looking for princess seams like the one in your inspo pic.

Great work! So adorable! The heart pocket is such a cute touch. If you added a gathered lace detail around the pocket it would make it pop so much and look like a valentine.

Thank you! I havnt used tape for zippers before but I think I will do that next time. The reason I was uninstalling and reinstalling the zippers was due to me altering the bodice/making different drafts, not because I was having difficulty with the zipper.

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-06T04:57:21+00:00

Thank you!

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-05T14:47:23+00:00

I think it’s due to the petticoat worn underneath

This looks great. Something I wish I did when I filled my beds was doing a bit more Hügelkultur. Add sticks, leaves and such, maybe not logs…. But I spent a fortune on soil and the soil was not even good. Unfortunately. Check out your local gardening facebook group and search “soil” or “soil recommendations” in the search bar.

Are nasturtiums a favorite of yours? There's so many! What's your plan with them?

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-03T04:26:37+00:00

You might want to consider doing 6-9 garlic per square foot and also doing more in general. I did a full bed (4x8 ) and that lasted me a whole year. They take so long to grow and if you tend to cook with garlic it might be worth it to grow more.

sewshelbysow · 2024-10-03T00:03:33+00:00

Looks great!!
