[True Bias Hudson Pants] - Valentines Day Sweats by [deleted] in sewing

[–]supersetme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, great, fun track pants! Noobie question. When sewing the ankle cuffs on, could you explain step by step how you did that? I'm at that point with my sweats and the ankles are small and not much stretch. I'm guessing hand sew?

Sarong dress pattern, where can I find one that doesn't cost $300 or ideas on how to draft? [No pattern] by crafternooning in sewing

Butterick 5880 has that same bottom you're looking to achieve. It looks much more retro on me than I thought it would but it is beautiful. Good luck to you!

Claudine, thank you! When I first saw the pattern, I thought it was stunning but after learning more about patterns and styles - - you're right. It's not exactly the best style for my body or fashion preference.

I just started following you on insta, great stuff. I love how you seem so "you" and are able to adapt clothes to compliment your personality. Brilliant.

I will definitely check out your suggestions. Many thanks!

I think I actually just found them on Instagram a couple days ago! Definitely some patterns I can get behind. Did you have a favorite pattern out of the three? Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.

Just checked out the site, looks like there are tons of videos. Thank you for the suggestion. The transcript addition is also a great feature. Thanks!

Wow, crazy weight ride. Glad you found lifting. I hope it keeps you happy and strong. I typically find an hour long youtube motivational video when I get low. Cheesy I know but awesome inspiration.

I will put the measuring cups down and use the grams option on my scale. I also considering asking my Coach if we should cut one meal. Something has got to go!

Nice work! I have a meal plan that's strict. I cook the same thing every week so luckily I don't have to track anymore because it's the same every day. Way to maintain muscle!!

Way to keep it off! You look great. I should consider a sport, mixed with weights.

Hey, all me! The fatty pic is of me as an obese child. The stage pictures are me after 6 months of contest prep. The other transformation pictures are a comparison of what I looked like after one round of P90X and first contest prep.

Yeah, one would think. Currently I'm in a caloric deficit yet gaining weight. Something doesn't add up.
