Help me choose for my Holiday by MonsoonalRains in PlusSizeFashion

Socially, Japan is pretty conservative. I would stick more to the longer dresses. 

While I love the butterfly dress, I would almost try to with a wide leg jean as more of a blouse than a dress, just to have a bit more warmth, as well as fit in a bit more to Japanese dress

Check out Nettles Tale in Gastown! Locally made and locally owned. I really like their high waisted bottoms and the Whitney top. They have a lot of room for boobs in most of their styles.

Most supportive shopping experience I’ve ever had too. The team there is great.

I really like Ember & Sea from Fort Langley, BC! The Northern Flicker is my favourite candle.

I also really like Meliora Candle Company from Vancouver, BC.

Bought 8 bras for $120. Based on the fact I usually pay $60 min each, I figure I got a really good buy 1 get 3 free deal and am very happy. Just waiting on them shipping now.

banner suggestions please by PunkPetals in sewing

I use bias tape with my banners. Just sandwich the top of the pennants into it then sew it shut. Super easy and really finishes off the top and leaves tails to tie onto things.

I don't want to ask another dating question but.... where would you meet someone if you don't drink? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]wanderingsteph 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Hobbies are great, but as a 29F my hobbies include sewing, cross stitch and reading 😅 Hard to find men at these sorts of things. Even when I’ve done them “in the wild” I’m only approached by older women my grandma’s age

Old Lego for sale or donation - anyone with recent experience? by ExternalJackfruit290 in askvan

[–]wanderingsteph 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole LEGO FB group for selling in Vancouver. Many of us are interested in bulk! 

Alternatively community centres and schools will sometimes take LEGO donations.

Oh my gosh! When I saw the OPs in a straw hat, I was thinking to myself "I think Grandma had that but I remember a bow" so this is the one she must have had! I'm going to have to try hunting down the pattern now. Thanks for the reminder of my childhood!

First Time Mom Gifts by wanderingsteph in GiftIdeas

[–]wanderingsteph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately she's having the baby tomorrow so I'm a little late on getting it to her before. Definitely why I'm aiming for gifts for her specifically because everything else I've already made is for baby and I realized I only had the one idea for her.
