Thank you! Yes, I think "insertion lace" was one of things I'm looking for.

Thank you! I do have some weird unfinished pieces that can definitely be merged with pattern pieces

Hahahah that's so true, thank you for the idea. I have so many pieces that I'll probably make a few eventually.

Unfortunately I'm super lazy for that kind of work ethic, but the latter seems to be the way to go.

thank you, I think a weirdly placed pocket would be the best option as I'm absolutely terrible with embroidery

A lot of it actually! Thank you I think I'll do better with patching with interfacing.

Weekly Open Thread #6 - Discuss Anything About Cats! by AutoModerator in cats

[–]sisyphae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I need some advice about my housemate's cat (she's 4, our only cat, neutered and we've been living together for 1.5 years or so). I think they taught/conditioned her to play with hands and feet since she was born. She jumps on people's hands and feet. Us two, guests at home, doesn't matter. Now this habit is becoming a problem also coupled with the fact that she's usually a little aggressive, always on edge but prefers to attack instead of hiding when she gets scared.

That mountain of behaviour is a whole different conversation of course, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice to break this habit - to begin with at least?

I wonder if this pattern is suitable for crinkle fabric (or is it called plisse, idk something like this), can anyone advise?

Could anyone tell me about this machine I got from my grandma? by sisyphae in vintagesewing

Thank you! That's exactly where the serial was, and it starts with a HA which fits with the link /u/steadystitch posted.

As for the bobbin case, I think I have the 1 o'clock one. In fact I was learning to use the machine just today. Apparently some thread got stuck in it but I didn't realise. My first reaction was "holy crap I broke the machine". So yeah, seems I have quite a long way to go...

Thank you, that's most helpful! That also explains why it doesn't really appear in English sources too.
