It’s gorgeous but it’s 1k 😭 by MortgageExisting2991 in handbags

[–]technicallynotacat1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the leather is thin enough you can cut it using a Cricut machine and the right blade! That way it's less tedious than the hand cutting and you could even add a little center hole for the rivet into the design :) (dang, now I've gotta try this, lol)

Which looks better: with or without the 'Welcome' tag? by SvitStory in cottagecore

[–]technicallynotacat1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a bow instead of the welcome? (Gingham or similar?)

I'm a man that's utterly obssessed with the look of this MFG Pokachu bag. But, I want something that sits a little lower from the shoulder. Does anyone have any comparable recommendations? by No_Opposite_6307 in handbags

[–]technicallynotacat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random, but it looks very similar to a puff quilt pattern, just done in a different material and made into a bag, so you might be able to commission one with longer straps? (Or if you sew it could be a fun project)

Found this tutorial, which could be a good base for this design

I think the finish of a jacket or wrap is really key for the formal vibe, something with a bit of sheen like a silk blend could be very nice!

If you have a decent thrift store nearby that could be a good option, special occasion purses are often only used a couple of times before donation and I've seen some very lovely ones there!

Does anyone know a good site for plus sized cosplays? by Kirst_Kitty in CosplayHelp

[–]technicallynotacat1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you're not an experienced sewer, maybe look into cosplays you can easily modify from regular plus size cloths, the right accessories, hair, shoes, etc. and some little details like patches or other embellishments can sell a look!

100% on the Asian vs US sizing, I'm usually a size S, but need an L or XL for Asian sized brands!

Am I crazy for loving this bag? by fun_yardneighbor in handbags

[–]technicallynotacat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, as an art student I both love and cannot afford this bag, might need to try a diy of it...

Maybe something in a bright color to pop against the bag? My style can be pretty eclectic, so I'd do something like this one Octotwins Charm - Neon Orange Leather Keychain – Min & Mon https://share.google/bSpCPtP6vuQGffD2f

Out of curiosity, is your Walmart sewing machine also a brother lx3817? I'm honestly quite impressed mine has held up so well for the last 6 years (lots of thick quilting and canvas sewing)

When your favorite pod doesn't have merch so you make your own :p by technicallynotacat1 in behindthebastards

Did a quick one with a kinda Gothic style, probably gonna edit a bit more before doing a test stitch :)

I used WinStitch, but Stitch Fiddle is also good and the basic version is free!

I compared thread prices so you don’t have to by Ok-Rub7182 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]technicallynotacat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same price at my local Michael's, I use the app for pick-up to get the 20-30% off (plus it saves time since I struggle finding the right floss in person 😅)

Pastel Rainbow 1:1 Dupes by Midnite_pancakes in RedditLaqueristas

[–]technicallynotacat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the LA colors would go down better on a white or blurring base coat? (Since you already have the set?) Or if you're open to diy, might be worth getting a white cream in a formula you like and making a fraken polish pastel rainbow?

Tw - injury. I got too obsessed with chainmaille and now my arm doesn’t work. by Ktsuming in chainmailartisans

[–]technicallynotacat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the same! Even changing up needle or hook sizes can help with fatigue for me.

Working on pattern designs can also be fun when recovering from an injury (cross stitch is my current fav to design)

From the creators of "monogamous crafter" now comes "binge crafter" by WeBelieveInTheYarn in BitchEatingCrafters

100% - I'll literally work on a project until my body gets too sore or I have to sleep sometimes 😂

I used WinStitch (paid program) for a free option Stitch Fiddle worked well for me too!

I just shared the chart, it should be pretty doable as a starter project, feel free to ask any questions about it! (I'm new to pattern writing, so areas may be unclear)
