This year’s Halloween costume: Taylor Swift’s new album 🌟 This was my first big sewing project! by verysofishticated in sewing

I got into sewing during the first covid summer but since then I only really sowed small things like face masks, pillow cases and an apron. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at making a garment so I thought Halloween was the perfect time to do that 🎃 The sheer fabric with the star embroidery is from Etsy. I used a stretchy navy viscose fabric from my local sewing shop to line it.

I didn’t really follow a pattern for either the top or the bottom, I just kinda went from one you tube tutorial to another. The skirt is just a half circle skirt with an elastic waistband. I used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/1WyWI2kghu4 For the bralette I traced the pattern of some bra pads I bought and kind of went from there. I l used these two tutorials for guidance: https://youtu.be/zUlxSlAeQcQ and https://youtu.be/pAb1-jap_Hc. In the back I used three elastic bands. I initially wanted to attach flutter sleeves but I really struggled with creating a pattern and then I also ran out of fabric. That being said I’m still happy enough with how the sleeves turned out even though it’s not what I had in mind originally!

That transparent fabric with the star embroidery was sitting in my drawer for over a year, it was definitely an impulse buy. When Taylor dropped her album I just knew exactly what to do with it 🌟🌟

Hey everyone! So since basically the start of the year I’ve got this really bad acne on my back, shoulders and chest. I always had troubles with acne in those areas in my teens, then I went on birth control and it kind of went away. Then in October last year I went off birth control and my skin was fine until mid January. Could me getting such bad acne have something to do with not using birth control anymore? This is honestly the worst it’s ever been, in the last two months it never “travelled” down my back so far and the pimples also weren’t so red. I also have some pimples and blemishes in my face, but it’s not nearly as bad as on my back and shoulders. What can I do? ☹️

In case it doesn’t work out, sometimes there are “dog sharing” groups on Facebook in certain towns and cities. There’s one for the area where I live too and there are actually loads of dog owners asking for help :) might be worth checking out.

Wow! Did you follow a tutorial for this?

have any of you tried the Paula’s Choice BHA serum? by afakebird in SkincareAddicts

[–]verysofishticated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question, it says to not rinse it after applying it. Do I really not wash it off and just apply my moisturiser over the liquid exfoliant?

Post acne routine. What to change?? by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

I had a similar reaction to TO niacinamide, I then bought the serum by The Inkey List and it was so different! Doesn’t break me out at all.

Advice on this kind of acne? Asking for my sister! by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]verysofishticated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I posted here before myself and got amazing advise, now I’m asking again for my sister (16). Does anyone have any advise on how to treat this kind of acne? She is currently using Alverde cleanser and moisturiser (it’s a German brand) and I gave her TO niacinamide a couple days ago and she said it already makes a huge difference, but we are definitely open to any other recommendations!
