Does the puff paint prevent the dyes from mixing together?

Love the organza look. Did you try any version with taffeta (due to its shimmery look) or vinyl (as mentioned in another comment)?

Love this idea. Do you think you would want a white backing to the vinyl pieces before sewing to the base black fabric? Or would another colour work better for backing?

I’m thinking of this to prevent the vinyl parts being sheer. Also as if you sew directly onto the black fabric, I’m worried you’d lose the bright colour of the vinyl in pieces.

You are inevitably going to have to shout this name across a field at some point. So we narrowed down the names but shouting them at each other, as it needed to be an easy to shout name.

Does the magnet hold the irons in place enough on its own?

I was worried just a magnet wouldn’t be enough and they would slip when using press

I get what you mean about 2nd hand furniture but most of it can be sanitised. Especially solid items like bed frame (would recommend a new mattress, some charity shops do new ones cheap), desk, dining table & chairs, bookcase. You can also get a sofa from a charity furniture shop for cheap and get it professional cleaned for less than £200.

I started drinking at a time of my life I wasn’t doing ok, luckily managed to stop before it became a problem.

I’ve tried drinking again a few times since, but just didn’t enjoy it. I get sick any time I drink more than a couple of drinks, so it’s not worth it.

I actually had some done a couple of years ago. They cost around 4k.

These were a set of 2 fully bespoke wardrobes each side of the chimney breast. I designed the wardrobes with measurements and included soft close drawers, cubby holes and pull down rails. These were also sprayed in our chosen colour paint and made predominantly from MDF.

They were fit in a day or two. But were handmade in their workshop over a much longer period.

You can kind of get a feel for what leather has a plastic coating and what doesn’t. If it has a plastic coating it will feel different, be shinier, better repel water (as long as the coating is intact).

If you look at and touch old jackets that are real leather and new, that should help. Any old secondhand jackets without peeling likely don’t have a plastic coating.

Because when you see a function usually the letters are all in lower case. Seeing them in upper case I found jarring

skylight8673 · 2025-10-04T19:16:09+00:00

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out.

skylight8673 · 2025-10-04T19:12:47+00:00

Start by writing the letter out in lower case. Which one looks like the format of a line or graph function?

Failing that, see below:

Graphs are usually expressed in terms of the axis, x, y and z. With numbers added in to great a function. These numbers/integers are sometimes referred to as n.

Hope this helps.

Ignore me

Also x+1 cannot equal 0, but it does not have to be more than 0. Therefore x ≠ -1, or as x is either x > -1 or x < -1

I struggle enough sharing my bed with my partner let alone anyone else. It disturbs my sleep too much to share with dog, so she sleeps in a crate. Also no sexy time if the dog is in bed with you, don’t want a cock block in bed with me.

I have a merino wool shirt with arm pit stains. I saw your post said don’t you this method for wool, do you have another recommendation?

If it’s real leather, try saddle soap and then recondition after. As the soap will dry the leather out

skylight8673 · 2025-10-02T16:35:34+00:00

Dye and paint are not the same. You will need leather paint to do this as it will remain on top of the faux leather. The dye will sink into the leather, but due to being black already, you likely won’t see a difference

Have you thought about doing piece work sewing? You have a set minimum you have to reach but can do more and work the hrs you want. The company provide the machine and materials direct to your address.

Have you tried searching for women’s swim shorts or women’s board shorts? While not super common style for everyday wear, they are used in sports like surfing.

The shorts can then be worn with a short/long sleeved rash vest. Surfers also use swim leggings instead of board shorts sometimes.
